I need to make an antibody for the extracellular portion of the Notch receptor. I have made S35 labelled Delta and my boss has given me an antibody that recognizes Delta and is conjugated to a chromophore that gives off light. Place the following statements in order beginning with labeling. HINT: Labeling, protein enrichment, immune response, making monoclonal cell lines, antigen screening of monoclonal cell lines.
A) Hybridoma cells are selected by plating them in HAT buffer.
B) Using direct ELISA you coat individual tissue culture wells/dishes with a single monoclonal antibody.
C) I detect my protein fraction using a geiger counter.
D) You add a solution containing radiolabeled Notch extracellular domain to the wells.
E) You only keep monoclonal hybridoma cell lines that give light. The other cell lines you throw away. You have your antibody!
F) I centrifuge my homogenate in a sugar or salt gradient.
G) I inject a mouse with my protein, giving booster shoots every week.
H) Heterokaryon cells are generated by the fusion of plasma cells and a myeloma cell line.
I) You wash away excess Delta antibody.
J) You add medium containing the Delta antibody that is covalently bound to a chromophore to the individual wells of the ELIZA.
K) To determine if the monoclonal antibody from any given monoclonal cell line recognizes the Notch extracellular domain, you look for light.
L) I use dialysis to remove excess salt and or sugar and to place the protein into a solution that mimics that of the cytoplasm.
M) The mouse is euthanized to harvest the plasma cells in the spleen.
N) Vast quantities of the exported form of the triggered antibody from plasma cells are released.
O) On some B cells, individual antibody receptor forms are bound by the Notch antigen for and activate B cells.
P) I fractionate the proteins.
Q) Individual hybridoma cells are cultured in separate tissue culture wells/dishes to create monoclonal cell lines. These lines export the unique antibody they make into the culture medium.
R) I take culture cells with the Notch receptor expressed on the cell surface and mix them with radio-labelled Delta.
S) B cells divide to give rise to plasma cells and memory cells.
T) You wash away excess Notch extracellular domain from the coated ELISA wells

- In immunofluorescence experiments, what is the role of the primary and secondary antibodies? (select all that applies) Group of answer choices The primary antibody binds the protein of interest whereas the secondary antibody binds the primary The primary and secondary antibodies can be interchangeable The secondary antibody is labeled with a fluorophore and is therefore responsible for generating the signal The secondary antibody is less important and therefore the experiment can be performed without itarrow_forwardInfants and young children with deficiencies in specific complement components present with recurrent respiratory infections caused by extracellular bacteria. The peak age of susceptibility is between 6 and 12 months after birth. At this time, as shown in figure below, maternal antibodies acquired by the child during fetal gestation are nearly gone, but the child is not yet generating robust antibody responses to new infections, as indicated by the low circulating levels of IgG and IgA. As children with this immunodeficiency get older, they outgrow this disease and show no further evidence of these recurrent infections. Based on this information, name one likely gene deficiency (in the complement system) that could cause this primary immunodeficiency, and the specific complement pathway likely to be affected. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardPoliovirus is highly cytopathic both in cultured cells and in animals. Inoculation of mice with poliovirus leads to a robust antibody and cellular response. Explain why mice infected with a poliovirus mutant that cannot cause cell death have poor antibody and cellular responses. What would be one strategy to restore robust antibody and cellular responses in mice infected with this mutant virus?arrow_forward

- The diagram in the first figure shows simplified versions of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus, the T-cell receptor b chain locus, and the locus encoding the RAG-1 and RAG-2 recombinases. For the sake of this question, imagine that these diagrams represent all of the gene segments present in the immunoglobulin heavy chain and T-cell receptor b chain locus. You now analyze five individuals, each of which has a single inactivating mutation in a region of one of these three loci. These mutations are each indicated by a red ‘X’ in the second figure, and are numbered 1–5. For each of these inactivating mutations, indicate the alterations and/or defects that would be seen in the repertoire of antigen receptors found in mature B and T cells in that individual. Also, for each mutation, indicate whether the individual would likely show any immunodeficiency, such as a history of recurrent infections.arrow_forwardAddition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) specific for hemoglobin to a solution of hemoglobin results in the formation of a red precipitate. In contrast, addition of the Fab fragments from this antibody to hemoglobin results in no such precipitate. What could explain this difference in results? Treatment with papain produces Fab fragments with different antigen specificity than the original IgG molecule. IgG can simultaneously bind two different antigens, whereas an Fab fragment can only bind one antigen at a time. The Fab fragments preferentially bind to other Fab fragments rather than to hemoglobin. The hemoglobin molecule antibody-binding sites can bind IgG molecules, but cannot bind Fab fragments.arrow_forwardchoose correct option and do explain.arrow_forward
