Chapter 11.9, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
The cells containing the nonintegrated F plasmid are known as F+ and cells containing the F plasmid integrated into chromosomal DNA are known as Hfr cells (high frequency of recombination). The high frequency of recombination indicates that the high rates of recombination between genes on the Hfr donor and F‑ recipient chromosomes.

- We need to prepare a stock solution of medium for your culture cells, which usually includes liquid salt solution and bovine serum. Our liquid salt solution is supplied in a 50X concentration, and we need to dilute it to 1X for use. We also need to add 75% fetal bovine serum for a final concentration of 15%.

Looking at the results of this experiment, it is apparent that the three lines do not all show the same response to the virus. To investigate these differences, mixing experiments are performed, where cells from two different cell lines are mixed together at a 1:1 ratio before the Influenza infection. Based on the results shown in the figure below, propose an explanation for these data.arrow_forward
- Regarding the production of monoclonal antibodies, it is CORRECT to state that: * A) Hybridomas are cells generated from the fusion of myeloma cells and cells from animals challenged with the antigen of interest that have the ability to produce antibodies and limited cell proliferation. B) All hybrid cells generated from the fusion of cells from the challenged animal and cells of the myeloma lineage will have the ability to produce antibodies reactive against the antigen of interest. C) The HAT selection medium contains aminopterin, which is an efficient inhibitor of the thymidine kinase metabolic pathway, thus eliminating myeloma cells that are not fused or fused with other cells of the same kind. D) The HAT selection medium contains hypoxanthine, which is an efficient inhibitor of the nucleotide synthesis salvage pathway, thus eliminating cells from the challenged animal that are not fused or fused with other identical cells.
