This would call for a wide range of assays to show Ig affinity to antigen, the ability of the c omelet to elicit a response, etc. The first assay conducted would involve isolated Ig from fetal serum, regardless of isotype, but the Ig must be specific for toxoplasmosis. This should be easy to come by in an infection situation, since antibodies to toxoplasmosis are produced in an infection situation to that specific antigen. These isolated Ig molecules would then be subject...

Global Warming A Deadly Threat For Human Life
1,510 wordsGlobal warming is one of the major environmental issues facing the world today. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. An increase in the temperature of the Earths surface may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. One cause for Global Warming is called the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect results from a four step process. First, sunl...

Moral And Ethical Year Of Life
1,331 wordsSince the first vaccine in 1796 for smallpox, made by Edward Jenner, modern science has managed to create vaccines to give us immunity to many deadly diseases. Vaccines have reduced many diseases and have even eradicated others. However, currently there is evidence that not all vaccines are beneficial and that some may actually be harmful. In this essay, I will discuss about what a vaccine is and how they work. I will also discuss the pros and cons of vaccinations, and show some of the advantage...

Nucleic Acid Disease Causing
1,453 wordsThe smallest livingMononucleus Bacteria The smallest living things on earth are the prokaryotic cells. Bacteria fall into the Monera Kingdom. They have a single DNA molecule in the cytoplasm. Almost all minerals have a cell wall that protects the cell and gives it its shape. Some minerals have a layer outside the cell wall called the capsule. This helps the cell cling to surfaces. A typical bacterium is about 2 micrometers long. Inside the cell, there are nucleic acids, enzymes, and other substa...
