Frame the skill of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) around systems in the real world contexts of determining optimal panda fertility, disease outbreak, antigen detection, or antibody detection.
 Giant Panda Problem Kit for AP Biology |
 ELISA Immuno Explorer Kit |
|
| Overview |
In this inquiry based kit, students use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in combination of endocrinology and immunology that scientists use to determine the right time frame for optimal fertility for the Giant Panda. |
Take a skills-based approach to teaching ELISA. You pick how you want to teach — in the context of disease outbreak, antigen detection, or antibody detection. |
| Ideal For | Teachers who want to model antigen-antibody relationships (or ELISA) in the context of conservation biology including hormonal control of fertility and pregnancy | Teachers who want the flexibility to incorporate different story lines focusing on disease detection, epidemiology, and disease tracking |
