Cat. #163 Vax to the Future: Developing a Vaccine for a Novel Pathogen

For 30 Students. Vaccines are a powerful tool for disease preven- tion. These medical miracles are designed to train the human body to fight pathogens without getting sick. In this experiment, students will follow the process of vaccine development, from the identification of a novel disease through the creation and clinical testing of a vaccine.

Storage: Room temperature. CLICK HERE For Experiment #163 Components and Requirements.

Cat. #122 Detection of the Influenza Virus

QuickStrips ™

For 8 Gels. The influenza virus, or “the flu,” is a common contagious disease that affects the respiratory system. In this simulation, students will perform two common tests (RIDT, RT-PCR) used to diagnose the flu in a clinical setting.

Complete in 90 min. Storage: Room temperature stable. Storage of Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ samples in the refrigerator is recommended. CLICK HERE For Experiment #122 Components and Requirements.

Cat. #274 Identifying the Epstein Barr Virus Using ELISA

For 10 Groups. Although bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, are present in many natural environments, they cannot survive autonomously. They require a host cell to Cat. #209 Going Un-Viral: Quantification Using Plaque Assays

For 10 Groups. In this experiment, students will perform an enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in order to screen simulated serum samples for antibodies to the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) - a virus that causes most mononucleosis infections and that is associated with pediatric lymphomas.

reproduce and survive. In this experiment, students will learn about the different life cycles of bacterial viruses. They will then perform a viral plaque assay to indirectly visualize the viruses and to determine viral titer and multiplicity of infection (MOI).
