Avian Flu Lab Report
Using an Eliza to test for Avian Flu
Methods
This experiment was performed in a plastic microtiter plate. Wells 1-12 of rows A and B were filled with 40 μL of stimulated antigen by using a micropipette. A clean pipette tip was used every time a new sample or reagent was added to the wells. Each sample was tested in triplicate and the amount of sample or reagent used was always 40 μL. The positive control were added to the first three wells of row A (A1, A2, A3), then the same amount of negative control was added to the next three wells (A4, A5,A6). Similarly, samples for Patient A, B, C, D, E, and F were added to wells A7-B12 as seen in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Sample microtiter plate used for this experiment. Legend: +C=> positive control, -C=>negative control, A-F =>patient samples A through F.
The stimulated secondary antibody was added to all the wells in rows A and B. Lastly, 40 μL of stimulated chromogen was added to all 24 wells (A1-12, B1-12). The plate was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Observations were recorded.
Results

You do not show any sign of infection from the H1N5 virus. One of the chickens from the flock Patient B works with tested positive, however. Therefore, I would like to bring to you attention that transmission from ill poultry to humans is possible. I would recommend you limit and avoid contact with chickens that seem to be infected and wear a protective mask while working, since the virus often spreads through inhalation. The virus is not known to be transmitted from human to human unless they are in very close contact. Lastly, some other suggestion that might help in preventing future infections from

    The purpose of this experiment is to see the anti-cow antibody bind to cow serum only, and we expect to see the anti-cow antibody bind to the spot that had the cow serum. The system we use in this experiment is the serum from Cow, Horse, Goat, Sheep, and Donkey, Chicken. In order to able to detect and analyze proteins based on their ability to bind to a specific antibody, the SDS-PAGE and Western Blot was performed.…

    Avogadro Lab Report

    • 173 Words
    • 1 Page

    In this lab, we will attempt to derive Avogadro’s number by forming a monolayer of Stearic Acid on the surface of a dish of water. The value of Avogadro’s number, which is known as the mole, equals 6.022*〖10〗^23. As the result of the high energy found on the surface of water and the hydrogen bonds in water, surface tension plays a key role in this experiment. The monolayer we anticipate making is possible because the tiny hydrophilic poles of Stearic Acid latch onto the molecules, but the larger hydrophobic portion of Stearic Acid prevents complete immersion. Thus, producing a monolayer.…
