Chapter 8, Problem 3DAA
Hershey–Chase Experiments The graph shown in FIGURE 8.5 is reproduced from an original 1952 publication by Hershey and Chase. Bacteriophage were labeled with radioactive tracers and allowed 10 infect bacteria. The virus–bacteria mixtures were then whirled in a blender to dislodge any viral components attached to the exterior of the bacteria. Afterward, radioactivity from the tracers was measured.
FIGURE 8.5 Detail of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase’s 1952 publication describing their experiments with bacteriophage.
“Infected bacteria” refers to the percentage of bacteria that survived the blender.
How did the researchers know that the radioisotopes in the fluid came from outside of the bacterial cells and not from bacteria that had been broken apart by whirling in the blender?

Remove the supernatant completely with a Pasteur pipet or a plastic pipettor tip. The spins can be performed at 4C or at room temperature. Longer spins make it difficult to resuspend cells. 2. Resuspend pellet in 100µl GTE solution and let sit 5 min at room temperature. Be sure cells are completely resuspended. 3. Add 200µl NaOH/SDS solution, mix by tapping tube with finger, and place on ice for 5 min. 4. Add 150µl potassium acetate solution and vortex at maximum speed for 2s to mix. Place on ice for 5-15 min.

- biotechnology lab class :1. The bacterial streaking on antibiotic containing agar plates has been completed and the plates will be available for you to inspect in the lab class.2. You will complete a restriction enzyme digest on the four available plasmid stocks and then examine the products by agarose gel electrophoresis. Photographs of the gel are attached to identify the plasmid present in each analysed sample.Now consider the following questions :- For each of the four plasmids used in the practical, identify the size (in kb) of the linear DNA fragment(s) that you would expect to obtain if the EcoRI digest is complete.- Using the provided negative image of the gel, which shows the bands present in the ND and D samples for each plasmid, identify the plasmid that was present in each of the four plasmid stock.- Explain how you were able to identify plasmid in each sample using the gel, considering how linear DNA fragments of different length are separated by agarose gel…arrow_forwardUse the plasmid to answer the following questions a) Digest the plasmid with EcoRI only and then both EcoRI and BamHi together.

- True or False: In this trial (Hershey And Chase), since labeled viral proteins were found outside the living cell, they concluded that proteins must carry at least part of the genetic information in the virus.arrow_forwardHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Principle: The assay starts with a sample applied to the sample well. A recombinant HIV antigen conjugated to colloidal gold embedded in the sample pad reacts with the HIV antibody present in serum or plasma forming conjugate / HIV antibody complex. As the mixture is allowed to migrate along the test strip, the conjugate / HIV antibody complex is captured by recombinant HIV antigen immobilized on a membrane forming a colored test band in the test region. A negative sample does not produce a test band due to the absence of colloidal gold conjugate / HIV antibody complex. The antigens used in the conjugate test are recombinant proteins that correspond to highly immunoreactive regions of HIV 1 and HIV 2. A colored control band in the control region appears at the end of test procedure regardless of test result. This control band is the result of colloidal gold conjugate binding to the anti-HIV antibody immobilized on the membrane.
