In this experiment we used gel electrophoresis to separate goat‚ sheep‚ cow‚ horse‚ chicken serum along with cow transferrin and cow gamma globulins. In this lab we successfully prepared the gel electrophoresis bed and successfully separated the proteins. The western blot along with the nitrocellulose blot was successful but produced no visible results. Introduction: Amino acids are basic units and building blocks of proteins. They consist of an amine group‚ a carboxylic group and side chain.

Immunology laboratory. Instructor: Dr. Muna Hassuneh. Report subject: Serum protein electrophoresis. Report No.: 1. Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) Introduction: The serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) test measures specific proteins in the blood to help identify some diseases. And its uses an electrical field to separate the proteins in the blood serum into groups of similar size‚ shape‚ and charge. And here we’ll use gel electrophoresis which indicate that blood serum is placed on special

EXPERIMENT NO. 15 PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a technique used in the laboratory to separate macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. Electrophoresis can take a mixture of macromolecules of different molecular weights‚ shapes‚ and various electrical charges to determine all the various compounds in the mixture and allowing for further purification that can aid in details of individual elements of the mixture being studied. Agarose gel electrophoresis is a very important technique used in the field of

two techniques that were used to create a DNA profile in this experiment were PCR and gel electrophoresis. The PCR is used to amplify the several DNA samples and gel electrophoresis is performed to separate the DNA fragments according to their size. [6] In the first part of the experiment‚ PCR amplification of the DNA templates was performed and the products obtained were used to perform gel electrophoresis. The process of PCR allows for the amplification of the DNA samples and the components needed

Gel Electrophoresis is used to separate the haemoglobin component of blood. Because each type of haemoglobin (HbA‚ HbS‚ Hbc and more) have different electrical charges‚ they will separate after undergoing gel electrophoresis. Firstly‚ a blood sample from the patient is taken and is applied to a cellulose acetate membrane strip that has been soaked in a buffer solution along with saponin. The red blood cells are lysed by the saponin while being soaked‚ therefore they release their haemoglobin. A

agarose gel electrophoresis in an emulation of DNA fingerprinting. The task‚ which was successfully carried out was to determine whether DNA from suspects A‚ B or C matches the sample of blood found at the murder scene (X). The process of PCR acts in the same way as DNA replication but is restricted to specific DNA samples of interest. By amplifying the necessary DNA sequence‚ this procedure is able to produce a usable DNA sample for agarose gel electrophoresis. Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method

Bita Heydari Lab report 3 The Effects of Differentiation on Enzymatic Activity Introduction HL-60 cells are capable of undergoing differentiation to induce different cell types. HL-60 cells can undergo morphological changes‚ changes in gene expression‚ and changes in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe

The picture above shows a typical gel electrophoresis set up. The clear container in the center of the picture is called a gel electrophoresis chamber. It contains the agarose gel that will be loaded with genetic material‚ as well as a buffer solution. It is connected to a DC power supply via electrodes. This picture was taken at Paw Print Genetics laboratory in Spokane‚ Washington. Viney and Fenton (1998) defined the term electrophoresis as‚ “the migration of charged particles through a static medium
