Either aptamers or these proteins are the heat-sensitive components of hot-start PCR mastermix. These proteins are conjugated to nanoparticles and are dried onto the test line in most lateral flow assays. To indicate where they were raised, these proteins’ names may start “alpha-goat” or “alpha-sheep.” A primary one of these proteins, used for capture, is sandwiched with a secondary one, used for detection, in an (*) ELISA (“eliza”) or a Western blot. Serology testing detects these proteins. Clonal variants of these proteins are synthesized by hybridoma cultures of B cells. Cocktails of these proteins are used therapeutically to harness adaptive immunity to neutralize pathogens. For 10 points, name these proteins that tightly bind to antigens. ■END■
