Question

MATCHING

-The antibody response to a primary pathogenic infection

-Pathogen proteins separated by electrophoresis and transferred to a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane and used to detect antibodies in patient serum:

• Rapid amplification of DNA using primers of complementary to a known genetic sequence of a suspected pathogen:
• Used of immobilized pathogen antigen to bind antibodies from patient to blood serum and detect this binding using a second enzyme-conjugated antibody:  
• A serological assay which quantifies antibodies strength:

ELISA

WESTERON BLOT

TITER

PCR

SEROCONVERSION

Explanation / Answer

-Pathogen proteins separated by electrophoresis and transferred to a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane and used to detect antibodies in patient serum - Western blot

Rapid amplification of DNA using primers of complementary to a known genetic sequence of a suspected pathogen: PCR

Used of immobilized pathogen antigen to bind antibodies from patient to blood serum and detect this binding using a second enzyme-conjugated antibody:ELISA  

A serological assay which quantifies antibodies strength : TITER

The antibody response to a primary pathogenic infection : Seroconversion
