The antibody titers of the three patients. Introduction: Antibody titer: The concentration and diversity of antibodies present in a patient's blood can be quantified using the Antibody titer test. The patient's immunity can be analyzed by using the data from the titer test. Higher the titer value higher is the immunity and vice versa. ELISA is usually used for quantifying titer values for antibodies. The normal values of the test are dependent mainly on the antibodies under study and the technique used for the determination of titer.

You have the following reagents available Rat anti-Keratin 8 antibody specific for mouse Keratin 8, Rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse keratin 5 and antifade reagent with DAPI to stain DNA. Both primary antibodies work best at 1:500 dilution. A) What additional reagents would you need to perform immunostaining of frozen sections of mouse thymus tissue for Keratin 8 that is expressed in cortical thymic epithelial cells and Keratin 5 that is expressed in mouse medullary thymic epithelial cells? B) Create a staining protocol including all tubes and appropriate controls to stain 4 slides with frozen thymic sections. You will need 200ul of antibody staining solution for each slide.

In the table below, T cell proliferation was measured after 4 days of incubation of T cells, APCs, +/- SEB. If one isolated the T cells at the end of the incubation for the six conditions in which robust proliferation was seen (Rows 2, 3, 5–8), and stained the T cells with each antibody (separately) from a panel of antibodies that recognize each of the mouse Vb domains (i.e., an antibody to Vb1, an antibody to Vb2, etc), what result would be expected?
