A Sensitive Neutralization Assay for Influenza C Viruses Based on the Acetylesterase Activity HEF Glycoprotein
Influenza C virus possesses specific neuraminate-O-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. This enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein HEF (Hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. Hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized HEF protein is detectable. We further developed the estera...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...
متن کاملA highly sensitive assay for proteases using staphylococcal protein A fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein.
Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was fused with staphylococcal protein A (SpA) and used as a substrate for proteases. An SpA-EGFP assay was done in three steps: (i) digestion of SpA-EGFP by proteases, (ii) addition of rabbit IgG immobilized on Sepharose beads, and (iii) measurement of the fluorescence intensity of supernatant. The assay was sensitive enough to measure picogram levels o...
متن کاملRatiometric electrochemical proximity assay for sensitive one-step protein detection
This work proposes the concept of ratiometric electrochemical proximity assay (REPA), which can be used for one-step, highly sensitive and selective detection of protein. The assay strategy was achieved on a sensing interface that was formed by hybridization of methylene blue (MB)-labeled antibody-DNA probe (MB-DNA1-Ab1) with ferrocene (Fc)-labeled DNA capture probe (Fc-P) modified gold electro...
متن کاملProduction of cartilage link protein by human granulosa-lutein cells.
Link protein (LP), an extracellular matrix protein in cartilage, stabilizes aggregates of hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycans, including aggrecan and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI). We have shown previously that cartilage LP is present in the maturing rat and mouse ovary. In the present study, we have employed immunohistochemistry to examine the anatomical distribution of cartilage LP i...
