Ward’s AIDS: The Discovery<br />

and Clinical Diagnosis of HIV<br />

by ELISA Lab Activity<br />

Safe Application of Immunological<br />

Deficiency Diagnostic Technique<br />

Students use the ELISA method and simulated blood serum to<br />

determine the HIV status of four individuals, applying the actual<br />

testing procedure used to detect AIDS antibodies in blood with<br />

materials that are completely safe. The simulated blood serum<br />

uses no human substances, eliminating any health risks. The lab<br />

activity can be completed in two 1-hour lab sessions. For a safe<br />

but realistic experience, the activities utilize real antigens and<br />

antibodies isolated from non-human sources; students don’t<br />

handle any human body fluids. Each lab activity comes with<br />

enough materials for six setups, a teacher’s guide, and student<br />

copymaster. Note: Includes perishable materials. Please specify<br />

delivery date.<br />

One-Step Antibody ELISA for<br />

Diagnostics Lab Activity<br />

Complete This Lab In Half the Time<br />

of Traditional ELISAs<br />

With this time-saving kit, an antigen, such as a viral bacterial or<br />

a human cancer marker is recognized by an antibody to which<br />

an enzyme is covalently linked. In the presence of the substrate,<br />

a color product is produced. This one-step process eliminates<br />

time-consuming steps of traditional ELISA labs where a two-step<br />

molecular binding event is necessary. This innovative activity<br />

allows you to recognize a link faster and easier. The whole<br />

lab can be completed in 30 minutes. Includes materials for<br />

10 setups and a teacher’s guide with complete instructions,<br />

background information, and study questions. Note: Includes<br />

perishable materials. Please specify delivery date.<br />

Simulation of HIV Detection by<br />

Western Blot Lab Activity<br />

Perform the Same Procedure Used in Labs to<br />

Detect HIV Antibodies, in Complete Safety<br />

The Western blot test, an analysis of polypeptides and<br />

proteins, is used as a “second generation” immunoassay on<br />

samples that have tested positive for HIV antibodies. Now<br />

students can analyze polypeptides and proteins, utilizing<br />

the Western blot test in a lab activity that’s suitable for<br />

advanced high school and college classes. Best of all, the<br />

lab activity does not require the use of real blood. The lab<br />

activity, which can be performed using agarose gel electrophoresis,<br />

can be completed in two 90 minute lab sessions,<br />

and it comes with enough materials for up to five blots, a<br />

teacher’s guide, and student copymaster. An agarose electrophoresis<br />

chamber, power supply, and 20 mL micropipets, all required, are available<br />

separately. Note: Includes perishable materials. Please specify<br />

delivery date.<br />

How Does a Doctor<br />

Test for Lyme Disease<br />

Lab Activity<br />

Perform an ELISA Test<br />

Introduce students to an immunology-based<br />

diagnostic test used to detect various infectious<br />

diseases, including Lyme disease. After completing<br />

an ELISA test on control and simulated<br />

samples, the infected patients are identified.<br />

Includes materials for six experiments.<br />

Clinical Diagnostic Immunoblot<br />

Lab Activity<br />

Simulation of Clinical Diagnostic Techniques<br />

Immunoblot, otherwise known as dot blot, is a technique used to<br />

determine the presence of an antigen. In this experiment, antigens<br />

are absorbed to a membrane that is then treated sequentially with<br />

an antigen-specific antibody solution and a secondary antibody<br />

conjugated to an enzyme. The enzyme-substrate reaction generates<br />

a color product that precipitates on the membrane, indicating a<br />

positive reaction. This process highlights how clinical diagnostic kits<br />

employ the principles of the immuno-blot. No human serum is used in this experiment. Includes<br />

materials for six setups. Note: Contents are shipped ambient, some components require storage<br />

at 4°C. Note: Includes perishable materials. Please specify delivery date.<br />

Antibody-Antigen Interaction<br />

Lab Activity<br />

Immunodiffusion Procedure Makes<br />

Results Easy to Visualize<br />

The interaction between antigens and antibodies is vital to all<br />

aspects of immunology, and this handy activity clearly demonstrates<br />

that relationship. Students employ the Ouchterlony<br />

Procedure to demonstrate the formation of an antigen-antibody<br />

complex through passive diffusion, resulting in an easily observed precipitate in the diffusion<br />

medium. For a realistic yet safe experience, the activity utilizes antigens and antibodies from<br />

animals; no human components are used. It includes materials for ten setups and instructions.<br />

Note: Includes perishable materials. Please specify delivery date.<br />
