the antigen blotted on the membrane‚ a primary antibody (serum) is added at an appropriate dilution and incubated with the membrane. Antibodies present in the serum bind to the protein(s). In order to detect the bound antibodies‚ anti-immunoglobulin antibodies coupled to an enzyme alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase are added. This anti-IgG enzyme is commonly called a "second antibody" or "conjugate". Finally‚ after excess second antibody is washed free of the blot‚ a substrate is added

1. What are immunoglobins Immunoglobulin’s or antibodies are substances produced by the body’s immune system in response to bacteria‚ viruses‚ or other foreign substances‚ such as fungus‚ allergens or cancer cells. Antibodies attach to the foreign substances‚ causing them to be destroyed by other immune system cells. Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is a subclass of Immunoglobulin A (IgA)‚ an antibody that plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. SIgA is the main immunoglobulin found in mucous

Question 11 Blood group O Blood group O (or blood group zero in some countries) individuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their RBCs‚ but their blood serum contains IgM anti-A and anti-B antibodies against the A and B blood group antigens. Therefore‚ a group O individual can receive blood only from a group O individual‚ but can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (i.e.‚ A‚ B‚ O or AB). If anyone needs a blood transfusion in an emergency‚ and if the time taken

which results from antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents nerve impulses from triggering muscle contractions. The most commonly affected muscles are those of the eyes‚ face‚ and swallowing. It can result in double vision‚ dropping eye leads‚ trouble talking‚ and trouble walking. Diagnosis can be supported by blood tests for specific antibodies‚ the edrophonium test‚ or nerve conduction studies. The anti–acetylcholine receptor antibody test is reliable
