Abstract:
An antigen for gel precipitation was prepared from chick embryo fibroblast cultures inoculated with the Reticuloendotheliosis virus. The specificity of the reaction was confirmed with reference Reticuloendotheliosis and Spleen necrosis sera. No precipitation reactions occurred between this antigen and Marek's disease, Newcastle disease, Infectious bronchitis, Pasteurella Multocida and Haemorrhagic enteritis antisera.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a laboratory technique commonly used to separate DNA fragments by size. However, it can also be used to isolate and purify DNA fragments using a gel extraction protocol.
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
