The fluorescent polarization method for assessing fetal lung maturity measures which of the following ratios?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Following addition of a fluorescent probe, polarization is high when the probe is bound to albumin and low when bound to surfactant.The degree of net polarization is correlated to fetal lung maturity.Results greater than the high cutoff are associated with lung maturity, whereas results below the lower cutoff are associated with lung immaturity.Results between these two values are reported as indeterminate.
