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 کاملFluorimetric coupled enzyme assay for lysoplasmalogenase activity in liver.
We developed a continuous spectrofluorimetric assay of lysoplasmalogenase activity with the use of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase as a coupling enzyme. In this method the disappearance of NADH is measured spectrofluorimetrically. The excitation and emission monochromators were set at 340 and 460 nm respectively. The assay is 10 times as sensitive as the previous u.v. spectrophotometric metho...
متن کاملLactate-to-pyruvate or pyruvate-to-lactate assay for lactate dehydrogenase: a re-examination.
The pyruvate-to-lactate assay for determining lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) can now yield linearity equal to or better than that obtained by the lactate-to-pyruvate assay. In addition, there are significant advantages to the pyruvate-to-lactate reaction: (a) a greater change in absorbance per unit time, which allows more accurate spectrophotometric readout; (b) lower reactant concentratio...
متن کاملA rapid sensitive assay for phosphatidate phosphohydrolase.
For a purified preparation of the soluble form of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.4) from guinea pig cerebral cortex, I-O-alkyl-racglycerol 3-phosphate was found to be accepted as a substrate. This substrate analog was tritium-labeled in order to serve in a rapid sensitive assay for the enzyme, in which labeled I-alkyl glycerol is released. Heat denaturation and enzyme activity depende...
