How might monoclonal antibodies be useful in criminology wildlife management or archaeology?
In criminology, monoclonal antibiodies are useful in distinguishing adult serum stains from those of a fetus's or newborn's serum in cases of illegal abortion or infanticide. (A new method uses sensitive detection of α-fetoprotein AFP in the stains.) In wildlife magaement it can be used to determine and map animals with diseases. An example is rabies. Monoclonal antibiodies can be used in archeology to identify archeological disoveries.
What is paul-bunnell reaction?
The Paul-Bunnell reaction is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of infectious mononucleosis, commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It involves mixing the patient's serum with sheep red blood cells, which can agglutinate if antibodies against the virus are present, indicating a positive test result.
How much milk the cow continue to produce after the calf is born?
It's often called "first milk" or, more technically, colostrum. It contains important antibiodies and immunoglobins that are critical for the calf's health. If the calf does not get colostrum within 3 days after birth there is a very high chance that he will not survive.
Why do so many people catch the Swine Flu?
Antibodies give you resistance to disease. You build up antibodies when your body meets pathogens such as viruses or bacteria. Your body has techniques for fighting viruses and bacteria. Then as it fights it finds copies of the viruses and bacteria and creates antibodies. It makes antibodies. They join the fight. Later, when that same disease attacks, the antibodies either keep the disease totally at bay or make it far less severe. Having the proper antibodies is called resistance to disease. People who have never had a variety of the flu are more likely to catch it and have a worse time than those who had it. People who had a similar version will have some resistance because their antibodies will do a partial job a protecting them. Their case will be less severe. The problem comes because the last pandemic of a flu similar to swine flu occurred about 50 years ago. People younger than that lack resistance to the disease. They have resistance to other versions but not to swine flu. Older people can call on their antibodies from the days when they had the earlier version. The disease is expected to spread through schools and places where adults congregate. This time they are not concerned about the old people. If the old people's immune system is no longer able to use the antibiodies from the last time they had swine flu, why make them suffer with a vaccination that won't give them immunity this time?
