Evaluation of fungal-specific fluorescent labeled echinocandin probes as diagnostic adjuncts.
The diagnosis of invasive fungal infections from radiographic imaging is non-specific and problematic. As a first step toward increasing specificity, we describe the development of a broad-spectrum fungal-specific targeting molecule, which when modified with a fluorescent label fully retains its targeting properties, and provides a basis for future imaging applications.
متن کاملGreen Fluorescent Diamidines as Diagnostic Probes for Trypanosomes
Light-emitting diode (LED) fluorescence microscopy offers potential benefits in the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis and in other aspects of diseases management, such as detection of drug-resistant strains. To advance such approaches, reliable and specific fluorescent markers to stain parasites in human fluids are needed. Here we describe a series of novel green fluorescent diamidines...
متن کاملFungal echinocandin resistance
The echinocandins are the newest class of antifungal agents in the clinical armory. These secondary metabolites are non-competitive inhibitors of the synthesis of beta-(1,3)-glucan, a major structural component of the fungal cell wall. Recent work has shown that spontaneous mutations can arise in two hot spot regions of Fks1 the target protein of echinocandins that reduce the enzyme's sensitivi...
متن کاملSingle molecule linear analysis of DNA in nano-channel labeled with sequence specific fluorescent probes
An array of nano-channels was fabricated from silicon based semiconductor materials to stretch long, native dsDNA. Here we present a labeling scheme in which it is possible to identify the location of specific sequences along the stretched DNA molecules. The scheme proceeds by first using the strand displacement activity of the Vent (exo-) polymerase to generate single strand flaps on nicked ds...
متن کاملSequencing by Ligation with Double-Labeled Fluorescent Probes
We have synthesized a set of double-labeled fluorescent probes and evaluated the performance of these fluorescent probes in sequencing by ligation (SBL). The results indicated that the ligation efficiency and specificity of double-labeled fluorescent probes was as higher as that of singe-labeled fluorescent probes. Moreover, double-labeled f luorescent p robes y ielded a r emarkable i ncrease i...
