The way by which the antibodies (that bind specifically to DNA fragments containing 5-methylcytosine, but not to DNA lacking modified nucleotide ) can be used in conjunction with the ChIP-Seq technique in the given figure to look for imprinted genes in the human genome. Introduction: The antibody or immunoglobin is a protein which is used by the immune system to neutralize or destroy the pathogen. It is produced by plasma cells of the body. A ChIp seq (ChIP-sequencing) is a technique used to analyze the interaction of proteins.

Bacteriophage P22 was used in generalised transduction experiments to infect the Salmonella typhimurium donor strains described in the table below. The resulting phage lysates were then used to infect the recipient strains of S. typhimurium recipient strains listed in the table. In each cross, a phenotype was selected for one of the selected for one of the three genetic markers studied (str, aceA, thrA), and were made to select the recombinants corresponding to the other two markers. markers. The results are given in the following table: Strain I donor str thrA aceA thrA str aceA+ Strain recipient strs thrA+ aceA thrA str aceA Phenotype selected Str Ace+ Str recombinants selected ThrA ThrA ThrA ThrA Ace Ace Number 60 40 95 5 10 90 str: gene involved in streptomycin resistance, aceA: gene involved in the use of acetate as a carbon source, thrA: gene involved in threonine biosynthesis. 1) What are the selective media used in these three transduction experiments? to obtain the selected…

With respect to recombinant vaccines, it is CORRECT to state that: * (Only one statement is correct) (a) Protein subunit vaccines are formulated with the expression vector encoding the immunogenic protein or protein fragment (b) Recombinant carrier organisms are genetically modified to contain the pathogenic protein of the organism that will be the target of the vaccine (c) Nucleic acid vaccines are formulated with DNA or RNA molecules that, once internalized by cells, will generate recombinant proteins that will trigger the immune response against the desired pathogen (d) Unlike DNA vaccines, mRNA vaccines do not need to be internalized by cells, being recognized as foreign molecules to the organism that received them. (e) Laboratory-produced phages can be used as delivery tools in DNA vaccines, which will allow the expression of immunogenic proteins to the organism that received them (f) Pseudoviral particles (VLPs) are produced in cells that receive expression vectors…

A research group is studying a bacterium X that binds to mucosal cells in the lung and invades. Wildtype X has an LD50 value of 10 bacteria when administered to mice by inhalation. Using transposon mutagenesis, the researchers have isolated two mutants of X that they call Xmut1 and Xmut2, both of which have LD50 values of 105 when inhaled by mice. However, in tissue culture cells, Xmut1 can invade the cells just as well as wild-type X, while Xmut2 cannot. Provide a possible explanation for these results.
