Q

What happens if an antibody has bound to an antigen?

A

An enzyme is bought in and can detect the present of an antigen antibody

22
Q

What is the enzyme?

A

HRP or AP

23
Q

What do many methods of antibodies also use?

A

Secondary antibodies to detect the primary antibody binding to its antigen

24
Q

What does using the same antibody that is not labelled with a secondary antibody that is labelled = ?

A

More sensitivity

25
Q

What is an example of a labelled primary antibody?

A

Mouse IgG monoclonal

26
Q

How long does it take to collect rat anti-mouse antiserum?

A

2-6 weeks

27
Q

What would happen if you were to put one antibody into another animals antibody?

A

It would make another antibody

28
Q

What two ways can antibodies be used in?

A

Research and diagnostics

29
Q

What ways can antibodies be used in research? 3 ways

A

Affinity chromatography, immune precipitation and immunofluorescence microscopy

30
Q

What is affinity chromatography?

A

Can purify molecules from complex mixtures and use antibodies to pull out proteins from a mixture

31
Q

What are magnetic bead isolations?

A

Little beads with antibodies that bind to a Magnet which form a column

32
Q

What happens when the magnet turns off?

A

Antibodies will fall off the magnet pulling the proteins with them

33
Q

What happens in immunofluorescence microscopy?

A

Identifying the location of a protein within the cell

34
Q

What happens to the antibodies in fluorescent microscopy?

A

Antibodies light up different parts of the cell depending on where the protein is being expressed

35
Q

What does western blotting allow?

A

Allows you to look at different proteins inside cells

36
Q

What is a very common technique used in both research and diagnostic?

A

ELISA

37
Q

What does ELISA stand for?

A

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

38
Q

What does ELISA detect?

A

Non linear and linear epitopes

39
Q

What can ELISA be used for in respect to antibodies?

A

Can be used to quantitate amount of antigen present

40
Q

What happens in direct ELISA?

A

Blood is put on a plate and a positive signal is received in the well where the antibody is attached to the antigen

41
Q

What is sandwich ELISA?

A

Even more sensitive and uses less of limited sample

42
Q

What is different to sandwich ELISA compared to direct ELISA?

A

Only dented the well being positive if the antigen has been captured

43
Q

What is flow cytometry (FACS)?

A

A technique used for the characterisation of cells based not their light scattering properties

44
Q

What can the properties be?

A

Either natural or induced by pre-incubation of cells with antibodies labelled with dyes

45
Q

How many cells are able to pass through the lazor at a time?

A

2000 per second

46
Q

What are the two ways cells can move through the lazor?

A

Side scatter and forward scatter

47
Q

At does forward scatter result from?

A

A cells size

48
Q

What does side scatter result from?

A

A cells granularity

49
Q

What can be obtained if you add antibodies to the cell before they go through the lazor?

A

Expression of various molecules

50
Q

What happened in 1975?

A

Never ending supply of monoclonal antibodies
