Nonlinear immunofluorescent assay for androgenic hormones based on resonant structures.

چکیده
We report for the first time the use of two photon fluorescence as detection method of affinity binding reactions. We use a resonant grating waveguide structure as platform enhancement for detecting the interaction between fluorescent labeled Boldenone, a non-natural androgenic hormone, and a specific anti-anabolic antibody. We were able to detect a surface coverage of approximately 0.7 ng/mm(2).

Considerably Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in Resonant U-Shaped Nano-Structures
In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...
متن کاملRelationship between Melasma, ovarian cysts and androgenic hormones: A case-control study
Background: Melasma is the acquired, gradual and symmetric hyper pigmentation of the face. Melasma has been related to many factors such as pregnancy, genetic, endocrine and sun exposure but the exact relationship to endocrine factors isn’t still clear. Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between melasma and polycystic ovarian disease and androgenic hormones. Patients and Methods: Th...
متن کاملSeismic Design of Steel Structures Based on Ductility and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
In this paper a simple tool for seismic design of steel structures for a selected ductility level is presented. For this purpose, a consistent set of earthquakes is selected and sorted based on the maximum acceleration of ground surface. The selected records are applied as the base motion to a single-degree-of-freedom system with strain hardening and the maximum response acceleration is determi...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Under a Stability Constraint
This paper suggests an optimization-based methodology for the design of minimum weight structures with kinematic nonlinear behavior. Attention is focused on three-dimensional reticulated structures idealized with beam elements under proportional static loadings. The algorithm used for optimization is based on a classical optimality criterion approach using an active-set strategy for extreme lim...
متن کاملEnhanced rat Hershberger assay appears reliable for detection of not only (anti-)androgenic chemicals but also thyroid hormone modulators.
Development of an internationally recognized standard for the Hershberger assay as a screening tool to detect potential (anti-)androgenic chemicals is in progress. In the present preliminary study, we evaluated the reliability of the enhanced Hershberger assay to detect thyroid hormone modulating activity, while concentrating attention on possible confounding influence on evaluation of (anti-)a...
