What is the best agent to use against mycoplasma? - CORRECT
ANSWER-BM cyclin - a combination of two antibiotics (tiamulin and
minocycline) that effecticely targets mycoplasma growth
For successful harvest, each new batch of hypotonic solution should be
evaluated by: - CORRECT ANSWER-comparing the new lot to a lot
already in use
Colagenase, pronase, and trypsin are: - CORRECT ANSWER-Proteolytic
enzymes - break down tissues into single-cell suspensions
When harvesting peripheral blood cultures, asceptic technique no
longer matters following incubation with: - CORRECT ANSWER-
Colcemid - mitotic spindle poison that halts cells at metaphase
,Samples that arrive at the cytogenetics lab should first be: -
CORRECT ANSWER-Logged in to the system
Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulates which type of cells into division? -
CORRECT ANSWER-T-cell lymphocytes
To avoid culture failure, monitoring reagents is crucial. When logging a
culture failure, what is the MOST important to document? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Expiration dates of reagents used
Which type of microscope is used when cleaning a CVS (chorionic villus)
sample? - CORRECT ANSWER-Dissection
Which cell type is most problematic if found in a CVS (chorionic villus)
sample? - CORRECT ANSWER-Decidua (maternal tissue)
When looking at a slide under a phase contrast scope and a lot of
cytoplasm is still seen around the mets, what is the most likely cause? -
CORRECT ANSWER-innappropriate slide drying time
What will help prevent microbial contamination and cross contamination
of cultures? - CORRECT ANSWER-Asceptic technique
,When there are not enough mets to complete the study of a
patient/case, what needs to be done next? - CORRECT ANSWER-
prepare additional slides from any remaining sample
When looking at a dropped slide under a phase scope and mets are very
spread out and sparse, what could help fix the issue? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Increading the drying time by using warm slides
What is true of an inverted microscope? - CORRECT ANSWER-the
objectives are beneath the stage
High-resolution banding is indicated for a possible diagnosis of: -
CORRECT ANSWER-DiGenorge syndrome -- microdeletion of 22q11,
also called velocardiofacial syndrome
"velo" - soft palette,
"cardio" - congenital heart defects,
"facial" - unique abnormal facial features, short philtrum (upper lip
indent), tubular nose, wide spread eyes, etc
When verifying if a specimen is appropriate for cytogenetic analysis,
what is the MOST important data to accompany the specimen? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Reason for referral
, Which type of specimen should be requested for a cytogenetic analysis
for turner syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWER-Heparinized peripheral
blood stored at room temperature
(NOT FROZEN)
A blood sample can be used to study the cytogenetics of a malignancy
only if: - CORRECT ANSWER-Dividing leukemic cells are present in
circulation
All of the cultures in a CO2 incubator failed, what aspects of the
incubator are important to monitor to assess the source of the
problem? - CORRECT ANSWER-Temperature,
CO2 level, and
Humidity level
The most important factor affecting the quality of chromosomes
viewed under a phase contrast scope is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Slide
drying after the cells have been dropped
