Assuming there was no experimental error, and these results are repeatable, what do they suggest about
expression of each of these genes in the two samples? What experiments are needed to follow to verify
the levels of expression of these genes.
Normal cell……...Cy5……red.
Cancer cell………Cy3……green.
We saw that spot A is red, this indicates that the gene is more active
in the normal cell than in cancer cells.
In spots B and D, we saw that are green, which means that the genes
are active in cancer cells more than in the normal cell.
In spot C, we saw that the gene in normal and cancer cells is equal
(present in both cells).
Spot E, is black which means the gene is not found in both cells (no
expression gene in both cells).
The drug can be tested in vitro and in vivo to determine its effects
and MOA. In-vitro studies can be carried out to investigate the
direct effects on cell proliferation and phenotype. In-vivo studies
can be conducted to determine the qualitative and quantitative
effects. As a result, it is important to select an appropriate animal
for research.
In this experiment, first, the concentration of the drug must be
determined, (the concentration that kills diseased cells and does
not affect healthy cells), using the MTT test.
JAK inhibitors:
Competitively binds to JAK's adenosine triphosphate-binding
site and inhibits JAK enzyme activity, thereby suppressing
cytokine signal transduction and action.
The attachment of cytokines to these receptors is
prevented.
When cytokines lack a binding site, the immune system
produces less inflammation, reducing the severity of a
person's symptoms.
a. Do you think modifications on the epigenome would be seen due to the infection or the vaccine?
Explain.
b. What best method of epigenome determination would be used from the different tools discussed
in the class? Explain
