IN ADDITION TO HAVING YOUR COMPLETE LIST IN THE LAST PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT, ALSO INCLUDE THOSE RESOURCES LISTED IN THE RESPONSE AREA FOR THAT QUESTION.
Example (made up),
Question 1: Explain how ELISA test detects either pathogens or antibodies to pathogens in the blood.
Response: ELISA can be used as a direct test, or indirect test. A direct test uses bound antibodies made in the lab to the pathogen being tested for, and if the person is infected, the pathogen pieces (antigen) in their blood (serum) , when mixed with the antibodies, will stick there and form the reaction. The indirect test works in the opposite way–it uses bound antigen to test for antibodies in the person’s blood sample (serum) to form a reaction.
