Complex conjugates are pairs of two-component numbers used in mathematics to describe physical realities. They have a real number component and an imaginary component, with opposite signs. Multiplying two complex conjugates produces a real result, which is important in quantum mechanics. Wave equations often have an imaginary component, but by multiplying them by their complex […]
Antibody conjugates are used in histological and enzymatic antigen detection assays to locate bound antibodies. They are physically attached to antibodies to label antigens of interest, allowing for identification and analysis. Primary antibodies are raised against specific antigens, while secondary antibodies are conjugated to label molecules and raised against the primary antibody for cost-effectiveness. In […]
Conjugate vaccines are created by joining an antigen to a protein molecule and are used to immunize infants and children against certain bacterial infections. They are more effective than ordinary vaccines for certain diseases and consist of a polysaccharide antigen combined with a carrier protein. Two important vaccines in childhood healthcare are the pneumococcal conjugate […]
