A purified monoclonal antibody will be used to detect an endogenous MMP generated neoepitope in mouse knee joints. 24 tissue section slides will be analysed, 12 tissue sections from control mice (Group A) and 12 tissue sections from anterior cruciate ligament rupture mice (Group B). 200 μL of working antibody solution is needed per slide at a final concentration of 14 µg/mL. The stock concentration of the antibody is 9.5 mg/mL. What is the total volume (mL) of working antibody solution required (to 1 decimal place)? Number What volume (L) of the stock antibody solution do you need (to 1 decimal place)? Number In which group of mice would you expect to see stronger staining with the neoepitope antibody (Group A or Group B)? Click for List Name ONE region of the joint where you would expect to see strong positive staining with the neoepitope antibody.
Molecular Techniques
Molecular techniques are methods employed in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics to manipulate and analyze nucleic acids (deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)), protein, and lipids. Techniques in molecular biology are employed to investigate the molecular basis for biological activity. These techniques are used to analyze cellular properties, structures, and chemical reactions, with a focus on how certain molecules regulate cellular reactions and growth.
DNA Fingerprinting and Gel Electrophoresis
The genetic makeup of living organisms is shown by a technique known as DNA fingerprinting. The difference is the satellite region of DNA is shown by this process. Alex Jeffreys has invented the process of DNA fingerprinting in 1985. Any biological samples such as blood, hair, saliva, semen can be used for DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting is also known as DNA profiling or molecular fingerprinting.
Molecular Markers
A known DNA sequence or gene sequence is present on a chromosome, and it is associated with a specific trait or character. It is mainly used as a genetic marker of the molecular marker. The first genetic map was done in a fruit fly, using genes as the first marker. In two categories, molecular markers are classified, classical marker and a DNA marker. A molecular marker is also known as a genetic marker.
DNA Sequencing
The most important feature of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules are nucleotide sequences and the identification of genes and their activities. This the reason why scientists have been working to determine the sequences of pieces of DNA covered under the genomic field. The primary objective of the Human Genome Project was to determine the nucleotide sequence of the entire human nuclear genome. DNA sequencing selectively eliminates the introns leading to only exome sequencing that allows proteins coding.
