List the specimen of choice for CRP test and if not able to test immediately, how should it be stored?

A screening test gave the following results : the number of patient tested = 200 the number of true positive is 100 the number of true negative is 50 number of false positive is 5 number of false negative is 10  What is the number of Positive Predictive Value?

A 1:750 dilution of serum is needed to perform a serological test.  Which of the following series of dilutions would be correct to use in this situation?  

Which of the following is characteristic of a passive agglutination test?  

True Positive/ True Positive and False Negative X 100 is a formula for 

CRP or C Reactive Protein is produced by 

IgM is more efficient in agglutination than IgG  

Radial immunodiffusion involves both antigen and antibody diffusing independently through a semisolid medium in two dimensions  

The key reaction that led to Boyer’s proposed loose-tight-open mechanism for the reaction catalyzed by ATP synthase is shown below. The experiment was done in the presence of 18O labeled water with the free purified enzyme. It was the results of this experiment that led him to propose this unique mechanism of action for the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase in the late 1950s. Briefly explain what aspect of this experiment implied that the ATP is formed by ATP synthase all by itself outside of the cell. (2 pts.) ADP + Pi + H2O18
