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