Question

Base your answer to this question on the following information: You have isolated a primary signal factor from the blood of a space alien, which you name XFF (for X-files factor). You also have Isolated various types of alien cells which appear to Interact with XFF. Based on preliminar data, you think that XFF could be similar to one of three compounds normally found in human blood: epidermal growth factor (EGF), epinephrine, or estrogen. Which of the following would best be used to demorstrate XFF is most like EGF? exposure of cells to tyrosine kinase inhibitors microinjection into cells of nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues exposure of cells to ryanodine exposure of cells to radioactive XFF receptor binding assays

Explanation / Answer

Receptor bimding asay will be the most appropriate for testing the XFF.

Because receptors for EGF are already known and so as to compare the XFF along with EGF, the binding assay will cimfirm the similarity and differences between EGF and XFF, and it can also be done through sequencing
