Chapter 12.1, Problem 4TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The separation of cells that express sigma B-YFP from those that do notand the significance of these sub-populations.
Introduction:
Under stressful environmental conditions, all the cells do not simultaneously activate their stress response genes. When the regulation is needed, stress response genes are turned on and simultaneously turned off when the conditions become normal. YFP (yellow fluorescent protein) is a derived form of green fluorescent protein that fuses with a gene.

A donor strain of bacteria with genotype leu+ gal− pro+ is infected with phages. The phage lysate from the bacterial cells is collected and used to infect a second strain of bacteria that are leu− gal+ pro−. The second strain is selected for leu+, and the following cotransduction data are obtained: Donor Recipient Selected allele Cells with cotransduced allele (%) leu+ gal− pro+ leu− gal+ pro− leu+ 47 pro+ leu+ 26 gal− Which genes are closest, leu and gal or leu and pro?
A donor strain of bacteria with alleles a+ b+ c+ is infected with phages to map the donor chromosome using generalized transduction. The phage lysate from the bacterial cells is collected and used to infect a second strain of bacteria that are a− b− c−. Bacteria with the a+ allele are selected, and the percentage of cells with cotransduced b+ and c+ alleles are recorded. Donor Recipient Selected allele Cells with cotransduced allele (%) a+ b+ c+ a− b− c− a+ 25 b+ a+ 3 c+ Is gene b or gene c closer to gene a? Explain your reasoning.

- 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.
