MLS(ASCP) Certification Exam ACTUAL
QUESTION AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Immunogenicity - Correct answers✔The ability of a substance to provoke an immune response.
Antigen prevalence - Correct answers✔Frequency of specific antigens in a given population.
Direct antiglobulin testing - Correct answers✔A test used to detect antibodies bound to the
surface of red blood cells.
Specific gravity/osmolality - Correct answers✔Measurements that indicate the concentration of
solutes in urine.

bloodstream.
Phospholipids - Correct answers✔Lipids that contain a phosphate group and are a major
component of cell membranes.
Triglycerides - Correct answers✔Esters formed from glycerol and three fatty acids, serving as a
major form of energy storage in the body.

phosphocreatine.
AST/ALT - Correct answers✔Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase,
enzymes that help diagnose liver function.
GGT - Correct answers✔Gamma-glutamyl transferase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism
of glutathione and the transfer of amino acids.
