A technologist is performing a colorimetric assay using 96?well
ELISA microtiter plates. The ELISA plate reader
measures the absorbance of the solution in each well (cuvet) by
recording the light passing through the solution from the top to
the bottom of each well. The assay’s color, when tested
in a standard spectrophotometer, is linear to an absorbance of 4.0
however the ELISA reader has a range of linearity which only
extends to an absorbance of 1.2. When a microtiter plate
is placed...
Explain the difference between nonspecific binding and
specific binding using an indirect ELISA as an example. For this
assay, assume that you are determining the titer of antibody
against BSA.
You bind BSA to wells of a microtiter plate, add a
dilution series of the antibody in question across the wells of the
plate, then detect that antibody with an enzyme-conjugated
antibody/chromogenic substrate pair.
1)ELISA is widely used as the initial screening test for
diseases such as HIV, lupus, and Lyme disease. How would western
blot be used in the diagnostic workflow?
2) Why are Precision Plus Protein Kaleidoscope standards run
alongside the protein samples in the gel?
3) In a complex organism, is it possible for a single
gene to encode for multiple proteins? If yes, explain.
