Information
on QA Scheme: Immunobead Assessment of Antisperm Antibodies-2009
Comment = A scheme to review assessment of Immunobead binding. Monthly video images of immunobead and sperm suspensions. Participants are asked to estimate the % of sperm with bound immunobeads. This is a draft scheme to assess the suitability for using videos for QA. The scheme seeks to explore the capability of the participant to assess and interpret a series of serum samples using the indirect immunobead procedure for the detection of antisperm antibodies. The series of serum samples were incubated with 50 million motile sperm/ml for one hour and washed twice before coincubation with immunobeads on a Makler chamber or a microscope slide for 1-3 minutes. The vidoes image is moved every 5 seconds to pan across the slide. Various immunobead concentrations and sperm samples were used to test interpretation skills. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
