Hybridoma
Hybridomas are cells that have been engineered to produce a desired antibody in large amounts, to produce monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies can be produced in specialized cells through a technique now popularly known as hybridoma technology.
Hybridoma technology was discovered in 1975 by two scientists, G. Kohler and C. Milstein, were awarded Noble prize for physiology and medicine in 1984.
Hybridoma technology is a method for producing large number of identical antibodies called monoclonal antibodies.
It was discovered by G.kohler and C.milstein in 1975. they were awarded nobel prize for physiology and medicine in 1975.
The hybrid cells are produced by fusing B- lumphocyte with myeloma cells or tumour cells.
The B-lymphocyte have the ability to produce large number of antibodies and tumour cells have indefinite growth.
This is why two cells are used for the production of hybrid cell
In this slide contains principle, types, methods and application of Western Blotting Technique.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

2. Western blotting
• The Western blot is an analytical technique used to detect
specific proteins in a given sample of tissue homogenate or
extract.
&
• Immunoblotting: because an antibody is used to specifically
detect its antigen
• Western blot for Proteins was Developed by George Stark
using antibodies to locate Proteins
3. Western blotting
• Western blotting is based on building antibody-protein complex
through specific binding of antibodies to proteins immobilized on a
membrane.
• Then detecting the bound antibody through several detection
methods
4. The Western blotting workflow
• Sample preparation
• Gel electrophoresis
• Transfer
• Blocking & Antibody probing
• Detection
• Analysis
5. Sample preparation
• Protein from all sources can be used for western blotting such as from
single cell, whole tissues, extracellular matrices, biological fluids.
• Protein can be extracted from the sample in three distinct steps:
• Cell lysis: Physical method (ultra sonication, homogenization etc.)
Chemical method (use of detergents)
Biological method (enzymatic digestion)
• Protein isolation from the rest of cellular components:
Centrifugation, DNase and other lysis buffer is used for the
removal of cell organelles, nucleic acids, polysaccharides etc.
• Protein purification:
6. Gel Electrophoresis
• PAGE (Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is mainly used for the
separation of protein particles.
• SDS is added to the gel and running buffer to denature the protein
molecules which will ensure that your proteins are separated solely
on the basis of size and not on three-dimensional structure.
• Molecular weight markers are used to define the size of proteins run
in a gel. Markers are composed of different proteins of known size.
• As proteins are not directly visible in the gel, the gel must be stained.
Proteins are usually stained with dyes such as Blue, Silver stain, or
Deep Purple.
7. Protein Transfer
• Protein are transferred from the gel to a solid support membrane
such as nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF).
• The proteins transferred from the gels are immobilized which makes it
possible to detect the proteins on the membrane using specific
antibodies.
• Electro-blotting is mainly used which uses electric field to pull
proteins from the gel onto the PVDF or nitrocellulose membrane.
• The proteins move from within the gel onto the membrane while
maintaining the organization they had within the gel
8.
9. Blocking &Antibody Probing
• Western blotting involves the immobilization of biomolecules on a
membrane and blocking the spaces not already occupied by proteins.
• As non-specific binding of antibodies to the membrane reduces the
specificity and sensitivity of the assay.
• Two main classes of blocking agents (proteins and non-ionic
detergents) are commonly used for western blotting.
10. Antibody Probing
• Western blotting protocols usually uses a non-labeled primary
antibody directed against the target protein and labeled secondary
antibody directed against the constant region of the primary
antibody.
• The secondary antibody serves not only as a carrier of the label but is
also a mechanism to amplify the emitted signals because secondary
antibodies are most often polyclonal and can bind primary antibody
at different epitopes simultaneously.
11. Antibody Probing
• Alkaline phosphatase (AP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are the
two most commonly used enzymes for protein detection using
chromogenic substrates.
• Other antibody probes used for protein detection are:
• Fluorophores
• Biotinylated secondary antibodies
• Radioisotopes.
12. Detection
• Different detection system are used in western blotting based on
fluorescence, chromogenic or radio-isotopic detection.
• Enzymatic detection methods require the addition of a substrate that
emits light when it reacts with an enzyme conjugated to a secondary
antibody.
• Fluorescence-based detection requires the excitation of fluorophore
using a light source of a specific wavelength causing light emission.
14. Analysis
• Detection of signals, using either X-
ray film, scanners or a charge-
coupled device (CCD) camera-based
imager, results in image containing
visible protein bands.
• the presence and the amount of a
protein of interest is estimated by
visual analysis, and the size can be
determined by comparison to a
known molecular weight marker

15. Applications of Western Blotting
• Diagnosis of HIV by ELISA involves the western blotting technique.
• Western blotting technique is also used to detect some forms of Lyme
Diseases.
• Western blotting technique is used in definitive test for BSE.
• Confirmatory test for Hepatitis-B involves western blotting technique.
• Western blotting test is used in the analysis of Biomarkers such as
hormones, growth factors and cytokines.
• This technique is also employed in The Gene expression studies.
16. Limitations of Western Blotting
• Very delicate and time consuming process. A minute imbalance at any
level of the procedure can skew the results of entire process.
• Cause erroneous in bands or no bands due to insufficient transfer.
• Well trained techniques are required for this technique.
• Primary antibody availability is crucial.
• It is just a Semi-Quantitative test. Only estimation and not a precise
• measurement of molecular weight of the protein is possible.
18. Introduction
• The enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) is an assay technique
designed for detecting and quantifying peptides, proteins, antibodies and
hormones.
• The ELISA has been used as a diagnostic tool in medicine and plant
pathology, as well as a quality-control check in various industries.
• The process of the ELISA result in a colored end product which correlates
to the amount of analyte present in the original sample.
20. Principle
• Principle of Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) is based on
the specific interaction between antibody and antigen.
• The ELISA can be used to detect antigens that are recognized by an
antibody or it can be used to detect antibodies that are recognized by an
antigen.
22. Antibodies for ELISA
• All ELISA formats rely on the specific
interaction between an antigen and
a matching antibody.
• The antibodies used in an ELISA can
be either:
• monoclonal (capable of specific
binding to a single unique epitope)
• OR
• polyclonal (capable of binding to
multiple epitopes).
23. Probes for ELISA
• Radioactive isotopes, enzymes and fluorescent dyes
are different types of chemical tags that have been
conjugated to secondary or primary
antibodies(probes) to make probes detectable.
• Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is most commonly used
for blotting, immunoassays and it converts its
substrate ABTS (2,2'-Azinobis [3-ethylbenzothiazoline-
6-sulfonic acid]-diammonium salt) in green end
product.
24. Blocking & Washing Buffers
• A blocking buffer is a solution of irrelevant protein, with a small
percentage of detergent. Blocking buffer block the places where
target proteins have not been attached.
• Washing buffer are used to remove nonspecifically bound and
unbound reagents.
• Washing is performed by buffers such as Tris-buffered saline (TBS) or
phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with detergent such as 0.05% Tween-
20.
25. Types of ELISA
• INDIRECT ELISA
• DIRECT ELISA
• SANDWICH ELISA
• COMPETETIVE ELISA
NON -COMPETETIVE
ELISA
26. Indirect ELISA
• Antigen is added to plate.
• Added Blocking buffer.
• Suitable primary antibody is added.
• Secondary antibody- HRPO is then added
which recognizes and binds to primary
antibody.
• TMB substrate is added, is converted to
detectable form.
27. Advantages of Indirect Detection
• Wide variety of labeled secondary antibodies are available commercially.
• Sensitivity is increased because each primary antibody contains several
epitopes that can be bound by the labeled secondary antibody, allowing
for signal amplification.
Disadvantages of Indirect Detection
• Cross-reactivity may occur with the secondary antibody, resulting in
nonspecific signal.
• An extra incubation step is required in the procedure.
28. Direct ELISA
• Apply a sample of known antigen to a surface.
• Enzyme linked primary antibody is applied to the
plate.
• Wash the plate. After this wash, only the
antibody-antigen complexes remain attached.
• Apply a substrate which is converted by the
enzyme to elicit a chromogenic signal.
29. Advantages of Direct Detection
• Quick methodology since only one antibody is used.
• Cross-reactivity of secondary antibody is eliminated.
Disadvantages of Direct Detection
• Labeling of every primary antibody is time-consuming and
expensive.
• Little signal amplification.
30. Sandwich ELISA
• Plate is coated with suitable antibody.
• Blocking buffer is added.
• Sample is added to plate so antigen is bounded by capture antibody.
• A suitable biotin labeled detection antibody is added to plate.
• Enzyme HRPO is added and binds the biotin labeled detection antibody.
• TMB substrate is added and converted by HRPO to colored product.
31. Competitive ELISA
• Solid phase coated
with antibody
• Add unknown amount of
unlabeled antigen and known
amount of labeled antigen
• Free and labeled antigen are
captured
• Color formation by oxidation of
substrate into a colored
compound
32. Advantages
• Suitable for complex samples, since the antigen does
not require purification prior to measurement.
Disadvantages
• Each antigen may require a different method to couple
it to the enzyme.
33. • Presence of antigen or the presence of antibody in a sample can
be detected by ELISA.
• ELISA can be used to determination of serum antibody
concentrations in a virus test (such as HIV test).
• ELISA can also be used in home pregnancy test.
• It is used in food industry to detect potential food allergens such
as milk, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, and eggs.
• ELISA can also be used in toxicology as a rapid presumptive
screen for certain classes of drugs.
Applications of ELISA
34. • A positive result correctly confirming the presence of an antibody
does not necessarily mean the patient is sick. The body can continue
to produce antibodies even though the person may have had the
disease earlier and recovered.
• People may be poor producers of an antibody or may have some
interfering substance in their blood. The amount of antibody,
consequently, may be too low to measure accurately or may go
undetected. This result is termed a false negative.
Limitations of ELISA
35. • Western blotting and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
are both based on the specific interaction between antigen and
antibody.
• They are widely used as diagnostic tools in medicine and as quality
control measures in various industries.
• They also used as analytical tools in biomedical research for the
detection and quantification of specific antigens or antibodies in a
given sample.
