- the patient has the mutation
- the test is inconclusive
- the patient's DNA does not have the sequence complementary to the probe
- the probe was too long
No category found.
- the actual viral protein (antigen)
- a live, weakened virus
- a plasmid containing the gene for a viral antigen
- pre-made antibodies against the virus
- be a one-time, permanent cure rather than a lifelong treatment
- be completely free of any side effects
- work for all types of diseases, including infections
- be administered without a doctor's help
- derived from a mixture of different B-cells
- produced by a clone of a single, specific hybridoma cell
- naturally found in the blood of all healthy individuals
- made from plant extracts
- using the live, infectious bacteria
- using a dead version of the bacteria
- using only the toxin produced by the bacteria, but treating it with chemicals to make it harmless (inactivated)
- using the genetic code for the toxin
- regulate blood sugar
- promote growth
- inhibit the secretion of other hormones, including growth hormone
- stimulate the immune system
- use a DNA probe directly on the sample
- convert the viral RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) using reverse transcriptase
- use monoclonal antibodies against the patient's DNA
- culture the virus for several weeks
- making every individual 100% immune to a disease
- protecting unvaccinated, vulnerable individuals by having a high percentage of the population vaccinated
- a type of vaccine made from animal herds
- immunity that only lasts for a very short time
- Sheep and goats
- Chickens and ducks
- Mice and rats
- Cows and pigs
- using antibodies to detect a pathogen
- amplifying a small, specific segment of DNA to detectable levels
- using a DNA probe without any amplification
- sequencing the entire genome of the patient
- live-attenuated vaccine
- toxoid vaccine
- whole-cell vaccine
- subunit vaccine
- deliver nutrients specifically to cancer cells
- target and bind specifically to antigens present on cancer cells, flagging them for destruction
- increase the rate of cell division in tumors
- make cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy
- the hCG directly reacts with a dye in the test strip
- the monoclonal antibody simply changes color when it detects hCG
- the patient's own antibodies against hCG are detected by the test
- the hCG antigen binds to both a mobile color-tagged antibody and an immobile capture antibody, concentrating the color
- being absorbed through the skin
- being inhaled
- stimulating the immune system in the gut when the plant is eaten
- being cooked at high temperatures
- anemia
- hemophilia
- leukemia
- cystic fibrosis
- they can only detect proteins
- they are not specific
- the exact sequence of the target gene must be known to design the probe
- they can only be used on bacterial infections
- injecting a needle
- an allergic reaction to the antigen
- handling large quantities of live, dangerous pathogens
- the cost of the vaccine
- providing a stronger, non-specific antibiotic
- using DNA sequencing to identify the bacterial strain and its resistance genes
- creating a vaccine for the patient on the spot
- using monoclonal antibodies to directly kill the bacteria
- normal allele
- mutated allele
- regulatory protein
- entire chromosome
