− | To test the technic, we used our protocol and checked that we were able to detect pure viral protein bind to EZ-link. We used the previous protocol, on the membrane, we coated 4G2, BSA was used as negative control. On the membranes, we incubate the membrane with the following solution. Negative control are membrane A to D, to validate the experiment, membrane E has to be positive </br> </br> | + | To test the technic, we used our protocol and checked that we were able to detect pure viral protein bind to EZ-link.
