Introduction
The agglutination principle is commonly used by serological quantitative assay to quantify unknown antigen or antibodies in a biological fluid. As all the Antibody isotypes are divalent or polyvalent, one antibody can bind to several antigens which will form chain linkage and clumping of antigen, giving rise to a lattice formation (antigen and antibodies complex). The lattice structure form by clumping of antigens and antibodies is process call agglutination. There are two types of agglutination reaction which are direct and indirect reaction. (jacquelin, 2002) The direct reaction is the binding of antibodies with the antigen intrinsically found on the particle’s surface and the indirect reaction is the binding of antigens with antibodies which are coated on particles (latex beads). (parija, 2009) Haem agglutination test is a specific form of agglutination test that involves red blood cells. This haem agglutination test is divided into active and passive groups, which

The SRBC (sheep’s red blood cells) were used as an antigen to interact with rabbit’s serum to form antibody-antigen lattice complex in the micro titre plate v-shaped wells. Row A is as a standard to compare with rest of the well. PBS (Phosphate buffered saline) was used as a medium for the antibody and antigen to interact. Three different samples of rabbit’s serum (sera 1, 2 and 3) were prepared. Sera 1 was from rabbit that was not exposed to sheep’s red blood cells (pre-immunised), sera 2 was a 6 days old serum from rabbit that was given one SRBC immunisation and sera 3 was a 7 days old serum which was given a separated 3 immunisation with SRBC. The purpose of the test is to understand the effectiveness of immunisation of SRBC by analysing antigen and antibody interaction in serum (sera 1, sera 2 and sera
Haemolytic colonies were classified by a white ring around the patched colony, indicating that haemolysis of the blood agar occurred. Conversely, non-haemolytic colonies were classified by a lack of a white ring, which indicated that no haemolysis took place.
In this experiment, we determined the isotonic and hemolytic molar concentrations of non-penetrating moles for sheep red blood cells and measured the absorbance levels from each concentration. The results concluded that as the concentration increased the absorbance reading increased as well. A higher absorbance signifies higher amounts of intact RBCs. The isotonic molar concentration for NaCl and glucose is 0.3 M. The hemolysis molar concentration for NaCl and glucose is 0.05 M. Adding red blood cells to an isotonic solution, there will be no isotonic pressure and no net movement. The isotonic solution leaves the red blood cells intact. RBC contain hemoglobin which absorbs light, hemoglobin falls to the bottom of the tube and no light is absorbed. Determining the isotonic concentration of NaCl and glucose by finding the lowest molar concentration. In contrast to isotonic molar concentration, hemolysis can be determined by finding the
The fifth claim is Australia should seek permission to use the UK Government’s Phonics Screening Check structure and item generation database (Buckingham, 2016). Evidence to support this claim is the report of The UK Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. The author provided so various kinds of details about the implementation of UK Phonics Screening Check, why it should be implemented, what the method of the application is, how the validity and the reliability of the test is. Also who should be included and excluded from the analysis, and how the method can improve student’s literacy level in the country. She assumes that this approach can be implemented in Australia, and Australia does not need to create its assessment independently. She assumes that even though Australia and United Kingdom has different policy context, the rationale is the same and by conducting a pilot study before implementing the Phonics Screening Check nationally, it will allow any technical

The use of short sentences in paragraph 7 creates an intense effect that are simple but strong enough to show Alexie’s determination.The consistent and straightforward arrangement of these short sentences can easily make the audiences feel Alexie’s efforts of studying hard as an intelligent Indian. Also, these short sentences created an confident and steadfast tone, emphasizing Alexie’s determination in reading and surviving.

English 101 is one of the most common college courses in the world. When I enrolled in the class, I was bothered that I would have spend forty hours in a freshman writing class; along with at least another forty hours throughout the semester writing for the class. What surprised me, was that when I began writing my essays I was not annoyed or bothered; I actually enjoyed the assignments. Most importantly, throughout the course of the semester, I have become a better writer and have ultimately met the course goals of English 101.
My biggest improvement in this English 111 class was my writing. Writing tasks that were assigned greatly strengthened my overall performance throughout the course, preparing me for the future classes. The environment made me feel at ease, helping me evolve as a student, and as a person. The environment made me feel at ease, preparing me for future classes. Another large achievement of mine that I displayed in the class, was my ability to talk comfortably with the other students. The variety of group activities we did allowed me to openly speak my opinion, leading to a better overall performance with my work and papers. The English 111 class enabled me to have better participation in and out of class and allowed
Most people appreciate their hair as the most valuable assets especially for women. However, there are so many problems related to this precious thing nowadays such as hair loss (alopecia), dandruffs and premature greying and balding. The researcher’s team headed by Professor Markus Nothen from University of Bonn and Dr. Roland Kruse from Dusseldorf University in 2005 discovered that the main cause of alocepia is hereditary factors which either because of high androgen receptor formed or variant receptor which develops as a result of genetic change. In addition according to Hoffman (2002), “The most common form of alopecia in men is believed to be due excessive activity of androgens on the scalp where the hairs become miniaturized and pigment production is stopped.” Hamilton (1951); Hoffman (2002); Price (2003); Severi et al., (2003) claimed that conversion towards more potent testosterone is due to elevation level of 5-alpha reductase lead to common baldness. For the genetically derived phenomenon, it supposed to be totally about the hereditary cause and the other exogenous factors will be excluded. However, there are also views from proponents saying that some natural food involves in solving these hair—related problems for example emblica officinalis or amla.
The interest in studying Rhesus disease stems from an aspiration to understand blood and its’ components at a cellular level. In order to recognize what factors lead to this disease and what components of the cell can be used as indicators/markers to diagnose it, one must have a general idea of the concepts involved in cellular processes. This paper will focus on the causes of hemolytic disease, including natural and/or surgical & medicinal occurrences that cause isoimmunization; how antigens and antibodies are involved, and the effectiveness of Rh immunoglobulin will also be considered.
Agnosia is a sickness that could happen when the patient have damage in certain area of the brain. Agnosia is the conscious inability to identify sensory stimuli not due to deficits in sensory, verbal, or cognitive abilities. (Pinel, 2007). There are many different form of Agnosia even though popular cases base on to memory and visual perception. There are many cases of Agnosia cause by different cortial area impacted.

For the production of the monoclonal antibodies, B-cells are removed from the spleen of an animal that has been challenged with the relevant antigen. These B-cell are then fused with myeloma tumor cells that can grow indefinitely in cultures (myeloma is B-cell cancer). This fusion is performed by making the cell membranes more permeable. The fused hybrid cells, being ous cancer oils cells, will multiply rapidly, as a result, large amounts of the desired antibodies will be
When a B cell comes in contact with an antigen that matches its antibody, it will bind to it and ingest it. Before that B cell produces antibodies, it’s important that it does not produce antibodies against the host’s body. The B-cell must become activated by a a matching helper T Cell that can bind to the B Cell and release cytokines which fully activate the B- Cell. If this does not happen, the B Cell does not produce antibodies, and no immune response
