Network theory and it`s experimental evidence|clona?l selection theory?

     
          Network theory and it`s experimental evidence

-        Any discussion regarding of immune response not come to the end without mentioning Jern`s idiotype network theory.
-        In 1973, Neil Jerne proposed this theory so to give possible solution for regulation of immune system in 1985 he was honored with Nobel prize for this work.
-        This theory suggest that antigen enter the inside the body and activate very specific done of B cell secreting antibody against it.
-        The antigen binding site of an antibody composed of overlap between light and heavy chain domain called as idiotype.
      
 -        This recognizing are said to be complementary to antigen.
-        Antibody molecule itself being a protein so can behave as an antigen.
-        Antibody molecule against idiotype which exhibit internal image of an external antigen.
-        Likewise, anti-ant idiotype antibody as external images of primary antibody.
-        Theoretically this sequence can go further consisting network od idiotype antibodies, however experientially it has been observed that is extend to just their steps.
-        As a consequence of such antibody network antigen is readily remove from circulation.
-          At the same time each antibody feedback regulates formation of antibody once step ahead. Thus, controlling the overproduction of antibody

Experimental evidence: -
            Hemolytic plaque assay (jern`s hemolytic assay)
1.    This assay is used to quality number of antibodies producing plasma cell.
2.    Assay was introduced by jern`s and modified by qunning in 1968.

Protocol: -
Ø First mouse is immobilized with sheep RBCs
Ø After a fixed incubation period the spleen from mouse isolated.
Ø Then the solenocytes from the spleen are separated which contain plasma cell and this plasma cell produce antibody against sheep`s RBC`s.
Ø A microchamber of slides is prepared using two slides.
Ø The solenocytes are introduced in the microchamber along with sheep RBC`s and complement protein.
Ø The microchamber is incubated at 370c for 2-3 hours.
Ø During this incubation period, plasma cell secretes the antibody against RBS`s (of IgM type).
Ø The secreted antibodies then bind to sheep RBC`s present in surrounding.
Ø Once antibody binds to sheep RBC`s present in surrounding.
Ø Once antibody binds to sheep RBC`s complement lysis the RBC`s.
Ø Due to this lysis of RBC`s a clear zone is produced around the antibody producing cell.
Ø Number of plaques are directly proportion to number of antibodies producing plasma cell.

Yeast two hybrid assay ?

Yeast two hybrid assay: -                                          Study interaction, detecting protein-protein interaction.   Principle of the two-hybrid: - A] Standard model of transcription activator: -     - The DNA binding domain of an activator binds to an enhancer.     - The activating domain interacted with the based complex. Recruiting it the promoter       B] Two hybrid assay for protein-protein interaction using gene clone technique linked the gene one protein to the part of a gene encoding a DNA binding domain, to encode 1 hybrid protein, linked the gene for another protein to the part of the gene encoding a transcription activating domain to encode a two hybrid proteins are introduce into yeast...

What is random priming?|What is non radioactive Labelling?|What are random primers used for?

                          Random primer labelling (primer extension) Ø Gene probes, clone or TCR amplified and oligonucleotide probes can be random prime labelled with radioactive isotopes and non-radioactive labelled DIG Ø Random prime labelling of DNA fragment (double or single stranded DNA was developed by Fein Berg and Bolgesteinds an alternative to nicker translation to produce uniformly labelled probes. Ø Double stranded DNA is degenerated and aneled with random oligonucleotide primer. Ø The oligonucleotide primer too 5`―› 3` polymerase which synthesis labelled probe in presence of labelled nucleotide pressure. PCR DIG labelling: -         DIG DUTP is incorporated during PCR cycle into the DNA strands amplified from the DNA target. Photo biotin labelling: - Photo biotin labelling is a chemical reaction not an enzymatic one. ...

Epitope Tagging

                                              Epitope Tagging 1.       Epitope tagging is used for localization and purification of protein. 2.       Using standard engineering techniques, a short peptide tag can be added to protein interest. 3.       It is used to study protein-protein or DNA-protein interaction. 4.       If a tag itself is an antigen determinant or epitope it can be targeted by an appropriate commercially available antibody. 5.       The antibody, suitably labelled can be used to determine the location of protein in cell to purify it by immunoprecipitation of affinity chromatography. 6.       In an immunoprecipitation antibody directed against the epitope tag re added to a solution as antibo...
