Abstract A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (S-ELISA) was developed to improve diagnosis of white tail disease of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, caused by the nodavirus, Mr NV. Polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunization of Balb/C mice using a purified suspension of the virus and IgG anti- MrNV were purified from ascitic fluid. A sandwich method was successfully developed, coating first with unlabelled antibody and detecting trapped antigens with a second biotinylated antibody. Reaction was demonstrated using an avidin,peroxidase conjugate. Tissue extracts from M. rosenbergii infected with MrNV or purified viral extracts (control) were successfully identified in an individual ELISA, thus confirming the validity of the method. This S-ELISA should be the technique of choice for epidemiological studies of this disease and is a rapid and inexpensive assay with high specificity and sensitivity. [source]


Automating proteome analysis: improvements in throughput, quality and accuracy of protein identification by peptide mass fingerprinting,

The use of robots has major effects on maximizing the proteomic workflow required in an increasing number of high-throughput projects and on increasing the quality of the data. In peptide mass finger printing (PMF), automation of steps downstream of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is essential. To achieve this goal, the workflow must be fluid. We have developed tools using macros written in Microsoft Excel and Word to complete the automation of our platform. Additionally, because sample preparation is crucial for identification of proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry, we optimized a sandwich method usable by any robot for spotting digests on a MALDI target. This procedure enables further efficient automated washing steps directly on the MALDI target. The success rate of PMF identification was evaluated for the automated sandwich method, and for the dried-droplet method implemented on the robot as recommended by the manufacturer. Of the two methods, the sandwich method achieved the highest identification success rate and sequence coverage of proteins. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


A New 4.0-Generation Dendrimer Phosphorescence Labeling Reagent and Its Application to Determination of Trace Alkaline Phosphatase by Affinity Adsorption Solid Substrate-room Temperature Phosphorimetry

CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2007

Abstract A Triton X-100-4.0G-D (4.0G-D refers to a 4.0-generation dendrimer) was brought forward as a new phosphorescence labeling reagent. Two types of specific affinity adsorption (AA) reactions (direct method and sandwich method) were carried out between the labeling product of Triton X-100-4.0G-D-Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the product of AA reaction preserved the good characteristics of room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of 4.0G-D and ,IP of the product was proportional to the content of ALP. According to the fact stated above, a new method for the determination of trace ALP by affinity adsorption solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (AA-SS-RTP) was established on the basis of WGA labeled with the Triton X-100-4.0G-D. The detection limits were 0.20 ag·spot,1 (corresponding concentration: 5.0×10,16 g·mL,1, namely 5.0×10,18 mol·L,1) for a direct method and 0.14 ag·spot,1 (corresponding concentration: 3.5×10,16 g·mL,1, namely 3.5×10,18 mol·L,1) for a sandwich method, respectively. For their high sensitivity, good repeatability and high accuracy, the direct method and sandwich method have been successfully applied to determine the content of ALP in human serum, and the results were coincided with the clinical detection results of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method by the Zhangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Meanwhile, the mechanism for the determination of trace ALP by AA-SS-RTP was discussed. [source]
