The collected samples were examined by Sheather's sugar floatation and Modified Ziehl- Neelsen stain as well as ELISA methods. The test results were statistica...

A diagnosis platform based entirely on DVD technology was developed for on-site quantitation of molecular analytes of interest, e.g., human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine samples ("quantitative pregnancy test on a disc"). An hCG-specific monoclonal antibody-binding assay prepared on a regular DVD-R was labeled with nanogold-streptavidin conjugates for signal enhancement with a customized...

Based on algorithms of hidrophilicity and flexibility, obtained by the use of the ProtScale software, disposable at the site http:// au.expasy.org/cgi-bin/protscale.pl, seven potentially antigenic peptides were selected from different Schistosoma mansoni proteins: cathepsin B (Sm31), heat shock protein (SmHSP-70), cathodic circulating antigen (CCA) and the polypeptidic sequence of the open read...
