Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a protein that has been shown to play a role in the development and maintenance of peripheral sympathetic neurons. One approach to study NGF is to deprive the animal of NGF and study the effect of this deprivation on various cell types. In this study, the effect on the today protein content in the dorsal root ganglia of rats is considered. Two groups of rats are compared: Those born to NGF deficient females (in utero) and those born to normal females but nursed by NGF deficient females (in milk). The data is shown below

In Milk (M): 0.19 , 0.21, 0.21, 0.23, 0.20, 0.22

In Utero( U): 0.12, 0.19, 0.17, 0.20, 0.09, 0.13, 0.21

Researchers are interested in whether the total protein content tends to be higher among rats deprived of NGF in milk.

Let Y be total protein content of a randomly selected rat from the in utero population and X be that of a randomly selected rat from the milk population. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
Find the value of the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test statistic

Expert Solution

if we are taking confidence interval 0.05 . Then see at 0.05 the Wilcoxon rank sum table. The test statistic would not lie between the range from the table. So we bound to reject the null hypothesis. And we conclude yes. The researcher can accept the alternative hypothesized statement. Check the sum of those rank.

Consider a hypothetical Intracellular protein Z. This protein has been shown to be 1) overexpressed in cancer samples compared to normal tissues (western blot), (2) it is not secreted by cells, and (3) it is expressed by endothelial cells in a tumor-associated vasculature. as shown by immunohistochemistry Propose 5 experiments that you could use to test that your protein Z plays a role in angiogenesis. Experiments should be done within 6 months.

In neurons, treatment with nerve growth factor (NGF) increases cell survival, which is mediated by activation of the Ras/Raf/Erk pathway. To further determine the role of the Ras/Raf/Erk pathway, you decided to over-express a Grb mutant that does not have SH2 domain. Answer the following questions. A. What is Grb? Describe its role in activation of the Ras/Raf/Erk pathway. B. What is SH2 domain? C. What effect would over-expression of the Grb mutant have on NGF-induced cell survival? Explain your...
