24
Q

ELISA

A

capture antibody: hormone-specific antibody
detecton antibody: antibody to the capture antibody
- linked to a “reporter enzyme”
hormone samples:
- standard curve samples: known concentration
- experimental samples: unknown concentration
biochemical reaction
microtiter plate
E+S > ES > EP > E+P
- the more enzymes, the faster the reaction and product
- spectrophotometer

25
ELISA advantages
specific and sensitive quantification is possible
26
ELISA disadvantages
can't tell if biologically active
27
chemical assays
based on chemical and physical properties - size, change, polarity, solubility - chromatography
28
bioassays
measures specific biological response following exposure to a substance- hormone - obtain measurements to determine a biological response - body weight, liver weight, bone growth
29
in-vivo
inside body
30
in-vitro
outside body
31
bioassay advantages
can tell biological activity
32
bioassay disadvantages
not very sensitive difficult to perform time consuming and sacrifices animals
33
intracellular signaling pathway
aka cell signaling pathway - involves signal transduction pathway
34
cellular response
change in gene expression change in intracellular ion concentration hormone secretion cell growth and division - increased blood glucose - less urine - muscle contraction
35
receptors + intracellular signaling pathways
ligand aka extracellular signaling molecule - ex. hormone - def. molecule that binds to a receptor
36
steps of cell signaling for cell surface receptors
signal reception, signal transduction, (relay molecules in a signal transduction pathway), cellular response
37
signal transduction
types: - intracellular signaling proteins - G proteins - second messengers (non-protein)
38
G protein coupled receptors (GPCR)
- snakes through the cytoplasm - 7 transmembrane receptors - two functional domains - ligand binding domain: extracellular domain - signal transduction domain: intracellular domain
39
G proteins structure
heterotrimeric protein anchored to the plasma membrane - alpha, beta, gamma
40
G proteins: activation and inactivation
like "on/off" switches, alternating between active and inactive GTP: guanosine triphosphate (guanosine -P-P-P) MORE ENERGY - GDP: guanosine -P-P - inactive G-protein: bound by GDP - active G-protein: bound by GTP
41
process for activating G protein
ase means enzyme two major types of G alpha subunits: - G alpha s: activates adenylyl cyclase (stimulates cAMP production) - G alpha q: activates phospholipase C (PLC) (stimulates Ca 2+ release)
42
protein kinases
enzymes that phosphorylate (adds phosphates to) other proteins - can activate the protein
43
calmodulin
Ca2+ effector protein
44
intracellular receptors
intracellular signaling- nuclear receptors - signal reception, transduction, (NO relay molecules or signal transduction pathway), response
45
nuclear receptors: structure
three functional domains - ligand binding domain - DNA binding domain - transcription activation (activating) domain
46
hormone responsiveness
magnitude of a target cell's response - magnitude can depend on 1. concentration of the signaling molecule present 2. number of receptors present on a target cell 3. affinity of the receptor for its signaling molecule 4.
47
purpose of ELISA
look for color change
48
purpose of RIA
antigen concentrations, ex hormone levels in blood
49
amine
1 amino acid (modified) - serotonin, melatonin, T3+T4 (thyroid hormone) thyroid hormone hydrophobic serotonin, melatonin hydrophilic
50
peptide/protein
3-50 amino acids: insulin, FSH, LH
51
lipid
steroids (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione) and eicosaniods (prostaglandins) steroids (cholesterol) eicosanoids (fatty acids)
52
neurosecretory cells
neurons that release into the blood (ant. pituitary and hypothalamus)
53
GH pathway
tropic: stimulates another gland to secrete (target the liver to make IGF-1) - GRH (hypothalamus) > GH (anterior pituitary) > liver > IGF 1
54
GH nontropic
lengthening of bones - muscle, bone, fat from IGF 1 - stimulates growth through IGF-1
55
gluconeogenesis
non-carbohydrate sources: burning through fat to make carbs
