ANTIBODY DIVERSITY
60
4 theories of antibody diversity
Erlich Side-Chain Theory
Clonal Selection Theory
Template Theory
Selective Theory
61
___ postulated that certain cells had specific surface receptors for antigen that were present before contact with antigen occurred.
Ehrlich
62
the most simplest form of all the antibody diversity
Ehrlich's side chain
63
antibody diversity that is based on the lock and key method
ehrlich's side chain method
64
antibody diversity
Antibody and antigen should match (retrofitted) so
they could build in the capacity to respond from
each other
ehrlich's side chain
65
the best theory for antibody diversity
clonal selection theory
66
an antibody diversity that has pre-programmed reaction
clonal selection theory
67
The key premise is that individual lymphocytes are
genetically preprogrammed to produce one type of
immunoglobulin and that a specific antigen finds or
selects those particular cells capable of responding to
it, causing them to proliferate.
clonal selection theory
68
This theory is the most accepted theory for the
antibody diversity
clonal selection theory
69
the template theory is made by
Felix Haurowitz
70
Second major theory of antibody diversity in 1930’s
template theory
71
an antibody diversity theory
Antibody-producing cells are capable of synthesizing
a generalized type of antibody, and when contact
with an antigen occurs, the antigen serves as a MOLD
or template and alters protein synthesis so the
antibody with a specific fit is made.
template theory
72
antibody diversity
This specific antibody produced enters the
circulation, while antigen remains behind to direct
further synthesis
template theory
73
In template theory, The antibodies are released generally, meaning
there is still no encountered antigen
true or false
true
74
In conjunction with the labeled immunoassay,
which are used in serological testing (test kits,
POCT, and highly labeled immunoassay.
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY
75
a high specific type of antibody
monoclonal antibody
76
associated with the reagents used in the laboratory
monoclonal antibody
77
___ discovered a
technique to produce antibody arising from a single
B cell.
George Kohler and Cesar Milstein
78
Kohler and Milstein’s technique fuses an activated B
cell with a ___ cell that can be grown
indefinitely in the laboratory.
myeloma cell
79
why is myeloma cell used in monoclonal antibody?
it lacks an enzyme HGPRT
80
HGPRT means
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
81
An important enzyme to synthesize
nucleotides
from hypoxanthine and thymidine
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
82
which animal is used to produced hybridoma or monoclonal antibodies?
lab mouse
83
explain the process of making hybridoma
1. immuning the lab mouse with antigen
2. harvest the spleen cells of the mouse
3. fuse it with PEG (polyethylene glycol)
4. culture in a culture media HAT- (hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine)
5. identify which cell line which cell line will survive
Hybridoma - will grow
spleen and myeloma will die
84
the first fusing medium used for hybridoma production
polyethylene glycol
85
what is the culture media usedfor the hybridoma production
HAT- hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine
86
why spleen cells will die upon the process of hybridoma production
spleen cells came from b cells which cab't live in HAT
87
why myeloma cells will die upon the process of hybridoma production
Myeloma cells will die because it can not utilize hypoxanthine
and thymidine because it does not have HGPRT
88
