The antibody production of 12 male red-winged blackbirds before and after receiving testosterone implants was compared. The units for antibody levels were natural log (10-3 optical density) per minute (In(mOD/min)). The mean change in antibody production was d = 0.056, and the standard deviation was sd 0.286 you were assigned the task of repeating this experiment, and wanted to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.08 units with a probability of 0.8, then what sample size would you use? If Since we are calculating n for a study of individuals, answers should be rounded up to the next whole number.

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?

According to Research and Development department analysisresults, it was concluded that a two-stage control strategy wasoptimal for antibody production. In the first stage, conditions wereoptimized for cell growth. In the second stage, conditions werechanged to halt cell growth. Please answer the following questions in 1-2 sentences. (a) Why did they choose this two-stage approach? (b) How did they cause the cells to shift from a growth phase to a quiescent (non-growth) phase?

When a mixture of different IgG antibody proteins are treated with the enzyme papain, each antibody is cleaved into three roughly equal size fragments. From each original antibody, two of the three fragments are identical to each other, and represent the ‘arms’ of the antibody ‘Y’. These fragments are known as Fab fragments. The third fragment is known as the Fc region, because this fragment will crystallize when purified. The reason a mixture of Fc fragments will crystallize is because: It is the only part of the antibody protein that can easily be purified at the high concentrations needed for crystallization. It has no disulfide bonds holding the domains together, as disulfide bonds will inhibit crystallization. It is the only fragment of the antibody that still has disulfide bonds, so it remains intact during the crystallization process. The Fc fragments of IgG are much more water soluble than the Fab fragments. All Fc fragments generated from a mixture of IgG molecules have the…
For most cases, a p value of 0.05 is used to determine whether results fit expected values. Is this a magic number, or could p values be set more stringently, say 0.01, or more lax, say 0.10? What effect would these values have on the reliability of the chi-square test?
