Clinical diagnostics kits employ the principles of the immunoblot (dot blot), a technique used to determine the presence of an antigen.
- In this experiment, students will prepare a dot blot membrane to determine the presence of an antigen
- Antigens are absorbed into a membrane that is then treated sequentially with an antigen-specific antibody solution and a secondary antibody conjugated to an enzyme
- The enzyme-substrate reaction generates a color product that precipitates on the membrane, indicating a positive reaction
