Background Peanut allergy is considered one of the most prominent food allergies, which often results in severe reactions and can be fatal. It can be attributed to one or more of the 12 recognised peanut allergens, the main peanut allergens being Ara h 1, Ara h 2/6 and Ara h 3. Ara h 2/6 are 2S albumins, sensitisation to which is associated with the most severe allergic reactions. They are used...

Three different, water soluble, aldehyde-appended distyrylbenzene (DSB) derivatives were prepared. Their interaction with different albumin variants (human, porcine, bovine, lactalbumin, ovalbumin) was investigated (pH 11). All three fluorophores exhibit graded, protein-dependent fluorescence turn-on at slightly differing wavelengths. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) differentiated all of the...

In this research, the Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe304) were prepared by coprecipitation of Fe3+ andFE solution in alkaline medium. Two kinds of surfactants, cetyl tri methyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) and cetyl pyridinum chloride (CPC) were used in the synthesis. Fe304 Nanoparticles werecoated with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Characteristics ofcoated magnetic nanopartic...
