L19 Flashcards
agglutination test
test used to identify cell specimens by sticking antibodies together
non identity test
binding different things on either side so the things are different (X)
partial identity test
something is the same but one side has something unique (spur created)
identity test
same on right side as left (curve)
structure of igA
tail to tail
ouchterlony test / diffusion assay
the one with all the holes to insert stuff into and watch them diffuse
3 types of fluorescent microscope
standard (wide field)
confocal
Two photon
pro and con of standard wide field fluorescent microscope
cheap
fuzziness and photo damage
pro and con of confocal fluorescent microscope
very good resolution
photodamage
pro and con of two photon fluorescent microscope (infrared light)
lower photodamage, better tissue penetration
costly, and not that must better than confocal
GC pairs have how may bonds
3
purines
AG
conjugative plasmids
transmitted during conjugation that carry a variety of information
resistance plasmids
protect against environmental factors or antibiotic
colicinogenic plasmas
codes for proteins that kill other microbes
degradative plasmid
contain genes for novel catabolic enzymes (can breakdown useful food source)
virulence plasmid
increases the pathogenicity of a bacteria
why is a conjugative plasmid different than the others
it doesn’t help the host cell - infectious plasmid
plasmids in B anthracis (2)
pXO1
pXO2
can cells have a ton of plasmid
yes hundreds
are plasmids used to amplify DNA
yes
is insulin a target for antibodies
no
