- 10.On an early morning run near his home, a runner startled a group of dogs being exercised and was bitten on the leg. The runner was later unable to locate the dog and its owner to verify that the dog had an up-to-date rabies vaccination. Given that rabies is always fatal, and despite the very low incidence in domesticated dogs, prudence dictated undergoing treatment. The runner was given human immunoglobulin G-containing antibodies to rabies virus (anti-rabies immunoglobulin) injected around the site of the wound and at several other intramuscular sites. This antibody preparation confers instant protection from the virus without requiring the body to develop a response. This is an example of:
- A.
Active immunity
- B.
Passive immunity
- 11.
- A.
Immunize a mouse with antigen of choice then remove the spleen when the mouse is making an antibody response
- B.
Fuse the immune spleen cells with a myeloma tumor cell
- C.
The cells are cultured in a selective medium allowing fused and non-fused cells to survive
- D.
Cells are grown in individual culture plate wells, and culture supernatants from wells contains growing hybrid cells are screened for presence of desired antibody by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- E.
This clone (hybridoma) is an immortal producer of the desired monoclonal antibody
