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 />
