Applications of BBa_K3795000

Considering the wet lab, we performed two Immunoassays: one anti-dengue and one anti-Zika western blot with DME-C. The anti-dengue was to confirm that our protein was really capable of detecting dengue virus, and the result was positive so we are really capable of detecting dengue. But to verify if cross reaction was occurring, we performed a anti-zika western blot, and a band appeared, although it can possibly indicate cross reaction, considering that the experiment was performed on a membrane used first to other western blot assay, there may have been an error related to washing, at the time the stripping was performed, the antibodies were not completely removed, and therefore when Zika's membrane was revealed, the result was not the expected. So, for a better precision, the experiment must be done again, with a new membrane, avoiding interference.
