Mr. Mangaba, the laboratory technician, is interested in determining narcotics in saliva at this concentrations > 10 mg/L (µg/mL). One approach being considered is to use an immunochemical assay. 3.1 Which immunoassay would be most suitable for the desired assay? Explain. 3.2 Describe the immunoassays that are sensitive enough to measure as little as 10 mg/L of antigen 3.3 Which of these assays can quantitate urine albumin? 3.4 Which of these assays are technically complex or require dedicated, expensive instrumentation?

This is an SDS-PAGE of an antibody purification sample with IgG seperated from a Bovine Calf serum. Would you be able to describe the bands that are appearing and why it appeared on the gel this way? As well, a western blot was done after the SDS-PAGE and the bands that appeared were at 50 kDa and 150 kDa for the IgG and two elution lanes. May you please explain?
