Cat. #260 Immune Clues: Diagnosing Allergic Reactions
For 10 Lab Groups. Take on the role of an allergist to learn how aller- gies are diagnosed and treated!
In this experiment, students will review a patient’s symptoms and meal history, perform a simulated skin prick allergy test to identify possible triggers, and then use a component-resolved diagnostic simulated blood test to distinguish between a true food allergy and cross-reactivity such as oral allergy syndrome. By analyzing their results, students gain insight into how medical professionals use evidence to guide diagnosis and treatment of allergic reactions. • Act as an allergist to investigate a patient’s allergic reaction. • Review the patient’s symptoms, test results, and meal history. • Perform a simulated skin prick test to check for possible allergens. • Use a simulated blood allergen testing to confirm if the reaction is a true food allergy or cross-reactivity with pollen.

Cat. #266 What’s In My Lunch? Quantitative Food Allergy ELISA
Cat. #140 Blood Typing
For 10 Groups. MMilk proteins are the most common food allergens in children. Accurate detection and labeling is vital to inform consum- ers about potentially dangerous foods. In this inquiry-based experi- ment, students will master the concepts behind the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Students will perform an ELISA to detect the presence and measure the concentration of whey protein in various food products. • Explore enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and the immune system • Perform an ELISA on food samples of your choice • Detect the milk protein whey and determine its concentration • Learn how the food industry uses biotechnologies to detect aller- gens • A strong STEM lab! Make serial dilutions, use computer imaging technologies, and create a standard curve
For 10 Groups. In human blood, there are two major antigens and antibodies designated as A or B and anti-A or anti-B. Blood type (A, B, AB, or O) can be determined using an agglutination assay where roughly equal concentrations of sample antigen and previously iso- lated antibodies are mixed and then monitored for precipitation. This test is often used to ensure safe blood transfusions. However, it can also be used in the field of forensics. Agglutination assays can confirm that collected evidence is human blood before more time intensive tests are performed. In addition, blood typing can screen potential suspects by blood group.
