The program can also help prepare you for the Ph.D. and a career as an applied anthropologist in the academy. In this website, you can learn more about our program, download the forms you need to apply, and consider how CSULB opens doors to local, regional, and international, cross-cultural, anthropological practice.
Antibody Avidity and HIV Testing. The reason that avidity tests can be used to determine the length of an HIV infection is that over time, the avidity of the anti-HIV antibodies made by the immune system will improve. This method, however, is limited by prompt, effective treatment.
Avidin is a biotin-binding protein that is believed to function as an antibiotic in the eggs of birds, reptiles and amphibians. Chicken avidin has a mass of 67,000-68,000 Daltons and is formed from four 128 amino acid-subunits, each binding one molecule of biotin.lthough the avidin-biotin system is simple to set up and use, it does have certain limitations. Because any biotinylated molecule will bind to any biotin-binding protein, these reagents must be used in combination with other detection-probe systems (i.e., primary-secondary antibodies) for multiplex experiments.
