Question
Chapter 37.2, Problem 2MI
Summary Introduction
To determine: The type of immunofluorescence which would be most likely to be used to test a clinical sample for the presence of an intracellular pathogen such as hepatitis C virus.
Introduction: ELISA which is also called Enzyme-Linked immune-sorbent Assay is the technique in which an enzyme-linked indicator antibody is used to visualize antigen-antibody reactions. Indirect and direct immune-sorbent assay are the two types of ELISA. The indirect immune-sorbent assay detects antibodies while direct immune-sorbent assay detects antigens.

Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario.
Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote?
You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab.
What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism?
What is indirect immunofluorescence microscopy?
Why are traditional tests such as metabolic test not always used to ID clinically important microbes?
