Summary Introduction
Transplantation is defined as the process of moving organs, tissues, or cells from one place to another place for the purpose of replacing or repairing diseased or damaged tissues and organs. Heart transplant, lung transplant, pancreas transplant, liver transplant, and cornea transplant are some types of organ transplants. To treat and prevent transplant rejection, immunosuppressive drugs are used.

a) What is “washing” in immunology? What types of interactions doeswashing interfere with? What molecules are used for effective“washing” in the immunology lab?b) Blocking is also a common feature of immunological assays. Why isblocking required?i. A student forgot to block their Western blot membrane beforeadding the secondary antibody. They continue and block themembrane after the secondary antibody step, assuming itdoesn’t matter which order the steps are completed in. Howwould this affect the results seen?ii. A student blocked their ELISA plate with 50 microlitres ofblocking buffer, although their coating, binding and detectionsteps were at 100 microlitres. How would this affect the resultsseen?
