Question 6

Confirm the identity of the protein and activity of the antibody

Answer 6

positive control

Question 7

Null cell line used to confirm that the staining is not nonspecific

Answer 7

negative control

Question 8

Slightly acidic with lower acrylamide concentration to make a porous gel to separate proteins poorly but allows them to form thin, sharply defined bands

Answer 8

Stacking gel

Question 9

Basic with high polyacrylamide making the gels pores narrower

Answer 9

Separating gel

Question 10

USes electric field oriented perpendicular to the surface of the gel causing proteins to move out of the gel and onto the membrane

Answer 10

Transfer

Question 11

High affinity for protein and its retention abilities. Brittle and doesn’t allow the membrane to be used for reprobing

Answer 11

Nitrocellulose membrane

Question 12

Important for minimizing background and removing unbound antibodies

Answer 12

Washing

Question 13

Detects the protein of interest, Monoclonal or polyclonal

Answer 13

Primary antibody

Question 14

Binds to conserved regions on the primary antibody and acts to amplify the signal, increasing detection sensitivity. Labeled with either an enzyme for colorimetric or chemiluminescent detection

Answer 14

Secondary antibody

Question 15

A chemical reaction in which an enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of a chemical substrate, and the reaction produces light as a byproduct.

Answer 15

Chemiluminescent

Question 16

Primary or secondary antibody labeled with fluorescent molecule excitable by light

Answer 16

Fluorescence detection

Question 17

RNA is transcribed into complementary DNA by reverse transcriptase from total or messenger RNA. cDNA is used as a template for qPCR reaction

Answer 17

RT-qPCR

Question 18

RT and PCR are performed separately with optimized buffers, reaction conditions, and priming strategies

Answer 18

Two step RT-qPCR

Question 19

OFten used due to disadvantages for template of RT such as fewer purification steps to ensure more quantitative recovery, better normalization, and it avoids enrichment steps

Answer 19

Total RNA

Question 20

Answer 23

ChIP-seq basis

Question 24

Better mechanical support and allows the blot to be reprobed and stored. Background is higher and requires careful washing
