Objectives
Theory :
The students get insight in immunological and enzymatical analyses techniques; special techniques for the determination of micro-organisms in foods; in the techniques for research of proteins and nucleic acids.
Practical :
The students can preform analyses based on immunology and enzymology; they can isolate and characterize fermentationproducts; they learn to preform as much different techniques as possible.


Topics
Theory :
In vitro tests on interaction between antigens and antibodies; enzymatic analyses of food with testkits; special detectiontechniques for microbiological control of foods; DNA sequence analyses; PCR ; antisense technology.
Practical :
Immunodiffusion and immuno-electoroforese; control on pre-germination of grains; germ-assay with tetrazolium; ELISA for syphilis; foodanalysis with an enzymatic testkit; bloudgroup determination;.
