Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the relationship between immunological quantification by laboratory analysis and biological functionality of the analyte?

• A)Immunological quantification and biological functionality are always very closely aligned because of the specificity of the antigen-antibody reaction.
• B)Immunological quantification is a more important consideration than biological functionality, because immunological quantification more correctly predicts the activity of the analyte in the body.
• C)Immunological quantification may overestimate biological functionality, because the antibody may react with an inactive analyte (such as a metabolite) that contains the antigenic determinant.
• D)Immunological quantification will only relate to biological functionality of an analyte if the laboratory analysis is performed on a fresh biological sample within 30 minutes of the time it is received in the laboratory.
