Our journey started off with a college student named Sue Smith. She was having symptoms such as headaches, fatigued and a fever. Sue overlooked it thinking it was just a simple cold as did many other students at her college. We linked all of them together to see how thier illnesses could be related. We ran a few test and tested sue for different possiblitys for the illness. Sue, Marco, Jill and Anthony all test positive for Meningititus by test thier spinal fluid. They needed to be treated with antibotics. Because they all had the same thing we ran an ELISA test to see who was infected first. First we recieved samples from each patient. Then specfic proteins stuck to each sample because of certain detergents we used in the samples. Once the degtergents were cleaned out each test tube had a blue color to it. The darker the color showed us who had been infected the longest. After the ELISA test we ran blast test on all the other patients DNA strands. This test showed us that Anthony and Arnie had influenza B, Maggie had strep throat, and Alvin and Wanda had Herpes.
Not finished.
