Highly sensitive reporter gene assay for dioxins in human plasma by using cycloheximide as an enhancer substance.
A reporter gene assay (RGA) that uses a mouse liver recombinant Hepa1c1c7 containing the firefly luciferase gene was developed to screen for dioxins in human plasma. For a high-sensitivity method, the addition of cycloheximide to the culture medium brought about a fivefold increase in the sensitivity. The detection limit was 0.1 pg/microL/well. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) binding affinity f...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...

متن کاملHighly sensitive immunoenzymometric assay for human thyrotropin.
A sensitive assay procedure for immunoenzymometric assay of serum thyrotropin (TSH) was developed by making several modifications of the Enzymun-Test TSH kit (Boehringer, Mannheim GmbH). Serum samples were first incubated in plastic tubes precoated with monoclonal antibodies specific to the beta subunit of human TSH. After the tubes were washed, the TSH bound to the tubes was detected with pero...
متن کاملDesigning an Engineered Construct Gene Sensitive to Carbohydrate In-vitro and Candidate for Human Insulin Gene Therapy In-vivo
Background and Aim: Diabetes is a common disorder worldwide, and exhaustive efforts have been made to cure this disease. Gene therapy has considered as a potential curative method that has more stability in comparison with the other pharmaceutical methods. However, the application of gene therapy as a definitive treatment demands further investigation. This study aim is to prepare a suitable hi...
