- You are presented with the following clinical scenario: "A 12 month old male child presents with recurrent bacterial infections. Flow cytometry shows a complete lack of B- lymphocytes." Using your knowledge of immunology and flow cytometry, identify which dot plots represent the healthy control and patient samples in each scenario and come up with a clinical diagnosis. Note that you may need to use additional background sources to fully understand what is going on at the cellular level for each diagnosis.

- Hello, please read the attached Microbiology question and answer the question and its parts correctly. Please have your answer fit within the one line given for each part (Do not give me long answers, just tell me what it detects). *If you correctly answer the question, I will provide a Thumbs Up to you. Thank you.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE about immunofluorescence microscopy where we localize proteins using fluorescently tagged antibodies? Pick the best answer: We can use it to resolve 2 points that are 10 nanometers apart. The emission wavelength of the fluorophore is typically shorter than the excitation wavelength. The resolution can be further improved with increased magnification. All else being equal, a fluorophore that emits red light will give better resolution than a fluorophore that emits green light. Based on what we discussed in class, we can use the technique on live samples therefore enabling us to see the dynamic movement of cytosolic proteins in living cells.

What reasons could there be for a negative result when you actually do have the disease?arrow_forwardEnzyme immunoassay tests are used to screen blood specimens for the presence of antibodies to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Antibodies indicate the presence of the virus. The test is quite accurate but is not always correct. Approximate probabilities of positive and negative test results when the blood tested does and does not actually contain antibodies to HIV are given in the table. Test Result Positive Negative Antibodies present 0.9985 0.0015 Antibodies absent 0.0060 0.9940 Suppose that 1%1% of a large population carries antibodies to HIV in their blood. Probabilities from trials with 2897 people known to be free of HIV antibodies and 673 people known to be infected, reported in J.
