  1. Immunoglobulin light chains

  2. Immunoglobulin heavy chains

  3. Amyloid A (AA) protein

  4. Isolated single molecules

  1. Anti-parietal cell

  2. Anti-thyroid peroxidase

  3. Anti-nuclear antibodies

  4. Anti-IgG Fc

  5. Anti-TSH receptors

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Parietal cell antibodies detected by immunofluorescence on stomach sections are important markers of inflammatory atrophic gastritis and the subsequent pernicious anemia which can develop. Antibodies to intrinsic factors are even stronger confirmation.

  4. All the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

All these diseases spread through contaminated water or food. While they differ in causative agents (cholera and typhoid are bacterial, polio and hepatitis are viral, amoebiasis is protozoan), they share the water-borne transmission route, making water contamination a key prevention target.
