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 DNA helicase and its function?|How does helicase separate DNA?

                                                                    DNA helicase assay Ø Helicase is the enzyme that harness chemical energy of ATP to separate the two parental DNA strand at replicating fork is called a helicase. Ø Many DNA helicase have been identified in E . coli cells Ø The problem is in finding which of these is involved in DNA replication. 1.     Rep helicase 2.     DNA helicase II 3.     DNA helicase III Ø Without a functional helicase, the fork cannot more as DNA synthesis must had immediately. Ø The DnaB product was known to be an ATPase and the DnaB   protein was found associated with the primers which makes primers for DNA replicatio...

RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymerization)

                                 RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymerization)     Principle: - Restriction fragment length polymerization (RFLP) technique in which organism may be differentiated by analysis of pattern derived from cleavages of this DNA -         If two organism differ in this distance between sites of cleavage of particular restriction endonucleases, the length of the fragment produced wise differ when the DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme. -         The similarity of the pattern generated can be used to differentiated species (and even strain) from one other.   Introduction: - Alc Jeffery in 1985 discovered the technique called restriction fragment length polymerization (RFLP) -         RFLP is t...
