- 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
No category found.
- 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
- the virus is too small to be seen
- the viral antigens change, so antibodies from a previous vaccine may no longer be effective
- the virus cannot be grown in a lab
- the virus does not have any antigens
- diabetes
- dissolving blood clots in heart attack or stroke patients
- fighting viral infections
- dwarfism
- a cancer cell and a virus
- two different types of cancer cells
- a B-lymphocyte (plasma cell) and a myeloma (cancer) cell
- a T-cell and a B-cell
- introduce a different type of antigen
- re-stimulate the immune system to maintain long-term memory and a high level of antibodies
- test if the first vaccine worked
- cure the disease if it has been contracted
- gene therapy
- monoclonal antibody production
- DNA fingerprinting
- recombinant DNA technology
- make the probe bind more tightly
- allow for the visualization of the probe after it has bound to its target sequence
- make the probe harmless to the patient
- increase the probe's molecular weight
- using more dangerous, live viruses
- using only the specific antigens of a pathogen, rather than the whole organism
- using animal-derived antibodies
- using non-scientific methods
- providing the missing protein product
- introducing a correct copy of a defective gene into the patient's cells
- creating a vaccine against the disorder
- diagnosing the disorder using DNA probes
- two antigens binding to one antibody
- an enzyme and a substrate
- a primary antibody, the antigen, and a secondary enzyme-linked antibody
- a DNA probe and a target gene
- they provide a stronger immune response
- they contain no pathogenic genetic material and have no risk of reverting to a virulent form
- they are easier to administer
- they are made from human cells
- antiviral and anticancer drugs
- pain relievers
- growth hormones
- vaccines
