chapter 1 molecular biology Flashcards
hybridoma cell lines
produce monoclonal antibodies
antibodies
can be used to detect specific molecules
colormetric
can be used to support flourescnece in an argument basis
hemotoxolin and eosin
stains tissue but it is a dye
immunoflourescance
stains tissue with antibodies
colormetric
probe to stain, tissue is also an antibody
primary antibody
can bind to anything
western blotting or immunoblotting
proteins transferred gel electrophoresis and probed with a specific antibody
CDNA library
complementary DNA library
-it represent DNA with only genes that are expressed, no introns
GDNA library
genomic DNA library
-represent entire genome (exons and introns included)
DNA library
petri dish with DNA that represents genome of specific organism (cut long DNA into smaller fragments)
PCR
isolate a couple of cells, isolate DNA and amplify it to make more, one cell pcr can make as much as you want
-in theory you can just keep replicating it
In Situ Hybridixation
can reveal the location of specific mrna
-the probe is the mrna not the antibody
-binds to the RNA and DNA and creates a color reaction
