HANDS – ON REPORT

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE – DEPARTMENT OF


BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Department of Biotechnology organized hands-on activity for the


students of BSc. BT 3rd Sem via Zoom. Widal test was performed by professor
Dr. Rashmi Sharma during this activity which allowed the students to gain
deep insights in understanding human immunity.

The WIDAL test is a serological method to diagnose enteric or typhoid fever


that is caused by the infection with pathogenic microorganisms like
Salmonella typhi. The students learnt about the modes of transmission and
consequences of the typhoid fever hence motivating them to maintain proper
sanitation and hygiene.
The students were keen to learn and see the practical uses of the knowledge
gained till now and found it easier to understand the complex ideas of
agglutination, the human defence mechanism, the antigen- antibody
interaction. They also got to dive deeper into concepts and learn about the
second and third line of defence mechanisms.

Overall, it was an informative session helping students expand their practical


approach towards the subject.
