- Method: 1. 96 well plates are coated with an antigen. Sites unoccupied by the antigen are blocked with a blocking buffer to prevent non-specific binding of sample. Draw this below: 2. Serum samples are added and incubated to allow specific antibodies to bind to specific antigen. Antibodies that do not recognize and bind specifically to the antigen remain unbound. Draw this below: Positive sample Negative sample 3. Non-specific antibodies that do not bind to the antigen are washed away. Draw this below. Positive sample Negative sample 4. An enzyme labeled (e.g. alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase) secondary antibody is incubated with the samples and binds tightly to sample antibody. Draw this below.arrow_forwardS. Why did you prepare a human serum plate? a. to see how closely related we are to ourselves b. to serve as a control for the experiment c. to test for human DNA Yes 6. Was agglutination caused by an antigen-antibody reaction? No Serum Antiserum 7. Which substance contained the antibody? Serum Antiserum 8. Which substance contained the antigen? Human Rabbit 9. The antiserum was produced by a:arrow_forwardIn an immunoassay what is a secondary antibody? Antibodies used to recognize antigens. They confer specificity to the immunoassay. Secondary antibodies line the wells of the ELISA test strip. Secondary antibodies recognize and bind to primary antibodies. Secondary antibodies interact directly with the antigen.arrow_forward
