E23. In the Western blot shown here, proteins were isolated from red blood cells and muscle cells from two different individuals. One individual was unaffected, and the other suffered from a disease known as thalassemia, which involves a defect in hemoglobin. The blot was exposed to an antibody that recognizes B globin, which is one of the polypeptides that constitute hemoglobin. Equal amounts of total cellular proteins were added to each lane. Lane 1: Proteins isolated from normal 2 3 4 red blood cells Lane 2: Proteins isolated from the red blood cells of a thalassemia patient Lane 3: Proteins isolated from normal muscle cells Lane 4: Proteins isolated from the muscle cells of a thalassemia patient Explain these results.

Are the bands indicated in Step 6 (SDS-PAGE) likely visualized by western blot or by a general protein stain (such as Coomassie or silver)?
antibodies were produced in a rabbit against a 25 KDa human soluble protien. when the rabbit antiserum was used in a western blot of human soluble protiens, it detected 25-KDa protien,but also bound to protiens of 65KDa and 39 KDa.assuming that a pure protien was used to make the antibodies,how do yuo explain the results of the western blot?
Describe what each of the 12 bands on your Western blot should have been. Remember, the 12 bands will be 4 conditions x 3 proteins (phospho-S6, phospho-AMPK, tubulin). Please describe the relative density of each band compared to the control (for example, how dense will phospho-S6 be in each of the three experimental conditions compared to the control condition?). For each band, provide a well-reasoned rationale for your anticipated result. Give the reason why cell signaling would produce each result in each condition.

Regarding the production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies, it is CORRECT to state that: * (JUST ONE STATEMENT IS CORRECT) (A) Chimeric and humanized antibodies differ in relation to the percentage of sequence of the constant chain of molecules from the human genome (B) Chimeric antibodies are industrially produced by joining purified protein fragments of the Fab fraction of murine antibodies and the constant portion of human antibodies. (C) When using cells dependent on the DHF amplification system, we must use a vector containing the coding information of the light and heavy chains and another vector that contains the coding sequence of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (D)The industrial purification of monoclonal antibodies should preferably use an initial step based on the use of affinity columns, which will bind the antibodies by the Fc fraction (E) The use of amplification systems such as GS and DHFR has as main objective to make the production of monoclonal antibodies…
