Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Replica plating is a technique which, is used to select mutants from a given population of wild type of colonies. It involves plating a culture on a master plate and then, transferring it to a plate containing a selection agent using a velvet sheet. This technique was developed by Esther and Joshua Lederberg.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
