Flow-cytometric analysis for the detection and measurement of subpopulations of leukocytes, including those of leukaemia, is usually performed using monoclonal antibodies. Why is this the case?

Choose whether each of the following statements is true 

a) Indirect immunofluorescence is a more sensitive technique than direct immunofluorescence

b) Most antigens induce a polyclonal response. 

c) For precipitation to occur, both antigen and antibody must be multivalent.

d) ELISA tests using chemiluminescence are more sensitive than chromogenic ones and precipitation tests are more sensitive than agglutination tests

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures within a microcirculatory bed:

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Capillary hydrostatic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Venous hydrostatic pressure = 5 mm Hg

Arterial pressure = 80 mm Hg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure = −5 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure = 10 mm Hg

Capillary filtration coefficient = 10 ml/min/mm Hg

What is the rate of net fluid movement across the capillary wall?
