Answer:

Indirect ELISA will be the best approach to test the gonadotropin according to example.

Explanation:

Now, the scenario is that we are working on ribonuclease A (RNase A) which is an antigen and against this we produced mouse monoclonal antibodies to RNase A (anti-RNase A).

Note: No other laboratories have these monoclonal antibodies.

So, it means we don't have commercially available antibodies against RNase A and we are producing antibodies.

According to this scenario we will use indirect ELISA because firstly, we use antigen (RNase A) and then monoclonal antibodies against RNase A and after that we will use anti-monoclonal RNase A antibodies (secondary antibodies) with substrate to produce color according to concentration of antibodies.

Note: Secondary antibodies (anti-monoclonal RNase A antibodies) can be produced against RNase A antibodies.

We can't use sandwich ELISA because there is not any lab who has monoclonal antibodies against RNase A. So, first we use antigen then its antibodies and then against these antibodies we use secondary antibodies to determine the effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies against RNase A.

Which diuretic remains effective when creatinine clearance drops below 25 ml/min?

OLga [1]

Loop Diuretics

These are diuretics that exerts effect on the loop of Henle. They are primarily used in heart failure, hypertension and edema. In contrast with Thiazides, loop diuretics are more effective in patients with abnormal kidney function. Loop diuretics inhibit the magnesium and calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle. Loop diuretics is highly protein bound. It has volume of distribution that is limited. This causes the diuretics to be secreted in the convuluted tubules to exert its function.

If you were a scientist studying traits which are selected by humans instead of the environment, you would be studying the follo

Dvinal [7]

The correct answer is: Artificial selection (selective breeding).

Artificial Selection is a form of selection, totally influenced by human, in which traits that should be passed onto offspring are chosen by human. Selective breeding was used long before the genetics was discoverd. Farmers used individuals with beneficial traits, larger in size, with bigger fruit etc.

Hunting is also one type of selective breeding, since the hunters choose the animal and remove it from the population (gene pool), leaving the “weaker” to pass on to the next generation.
