Step by step
Solved in 2 steps with 2 images
- If you were using the ELISA to look for the presence of antibodies and the sample gave a negative result, does this mean that there were no antibodies present? Explain.You performed an Elisa test in the lab to detect antibody against HIV in the patient's serum. The test was found to be 96% sensitive. What does that mean? A western blot was used on the same sample to confirm, and the test was found to be 99% specific. What does that mean?What antibody-based tests can you buy at your local pharmacy?
- What component must have been present in the positive control solution (antigen, anti-HIV IgG antibodies, or secondary antibody)? Explain how you know this is true.If our immune system can recognize any foreign antigen, why is it necessary to vaccinate a person?Is rapid antibody testing a form of ELISA? Explain your answer. How is an ELISA different from rapid antibody testing? Describe how antibodies are used to detect the presence of a specific disease.
- why can't we use western blotting test as diagnostic test for hiv alone without using ELISA?The immune system of a person is supressed. He was found positive for a pathogen in the diagnostic test ELISA.(a) Name the disease, the patient is suffering from.(b) Which pathogen is identified by ELISA test?(c) Which cells of the body are attacked by the pathogen?(d) Suggest preventive measure of the infection.Why is it better to use an unlabeled primary antibody and a labeled secondary over just labeling the primary antibody?
- How can your body make so many different antibodies (proteins) from just a select set of genes?This virtual lab was testing for lupus. How is this same test used to test for the presence of HIV? If the results for an HIV test were the same as in this exercise, what would they indicate about the three patients?How would a baby benefit from a nursing mother receiving a vaccine? Make sure you include at least two mechanisms of immunity.
