The amount of fluorescence is proportional to the amount of protein present in the sample. Flow cytometry provides a relative measure of protein abundance, as the fluorescence intensity is compared to a standard curve generated from a known amount of protein. Show more…

Accurate protein quantification is necessary in bioanalytical research to determine the protein content within a sample for critical analysis and data generation. Name four (4) assays used to quantify proteins. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these various methods of protein quantification. Choose one method and explain the mechanism of the assay.

What is the major difference between Western blot and Immunohistochemistry? What is the difference between monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies? When is antigen retrieval necessary? What reagent was used for immunohistochemistry in this week's practice? How is this developing reagent different from the substrates used in ELISpots and ELISA assays?
State two methods used to quantify proteins and the difference between them. If you obtain 40kD protein, in a concentration of 200μg/mL. what is the concentration in μM?
