Antibody interference in thyroid assays: a potential for clinical misinformation.
Measurements of thyrotropin and of total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. However, some serum samples will demonstrate a nonspecific binding with assay reagents that can interfere with the measurement of these hormones. Several recent case reports have described the presence of such interferences resulting in reported ab...
متن کاملEffects of Biotin Deficiency on Biotinylated Proteins and Biotin-Related Genes in the Rat Brain.
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that functions as a cofactor for biotin-dependent carboxylases. The biochemical and physiological roles of biotin in brain regions have not yet been investigated sufficiently in vivo. Thus, in order to clarify the function of biotin in the brain, we herein examined biotin contents, biotinylated protein expression (e.g. holocarboxylases), and biotin-related gene...
متن کاملProbing the interaction of the biotin-avidin complex with the relaxivity of biotinylated Gd-DTPA.
A biotinylated Gd-DTPA complex is designed to study the biotin-avidin complexation using the longitudinal relaxivity of this new MRI label, which illustrates the use of MRI contrast agents to probe the formation of supramolecular assemblies in water.
متن کاملEffect of streptavidins with varying biotin binding affinities on the properties of biotinylated gramicidin channels.
The pentadecapeptide gramicidin A, which is known to form highly conductive ion channels in a bilayer lipid membrane by assembling as transmembrane head-to-head dimers, can be modified by attaching a biotin group to its C-terminus through an aminocaproyl spacer. Such biotinylated gramicidin A analogues also form ion channels in a hydrophobic lipid bilayer, exposing the biotin group to the aqueo...
متن کاملUltrastructural and biochemical detection of biotin and biotinylated polypeptides in Schistosoma mansoni.
Biotinylation is proposed for the identification of surface proteins in Schistosoma mansoni using the streptavidin-HRP conjugate for the detection of labeled polypeptides. However, control samples also showed several endogenous biotinylated polypeptides. In an attempt to determine the possibility of nonspecific binding between the streptavidin-HRP conjugate and polypeptides from S. mansoni, the...
