Recycled additive manufacturing sensing platforms are fabricated with carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNT) exhibit enhanced electrochemical biosensor performance allowing for the direct coupling of biorecognition element to COOH-MWCNT preparation an genosensor detection yellow fever virus cDNA. Bespoke filaments was produced using recycled poly(lactic acid) (rPLA, 65 wt%), po...

One challenge in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is the lack of room-temperature methods for RNA detection based on enzymatic amplification and visualization steps. Here we perform reverse transcription lesion-induced DNA (RT-LIDA), an isothermal method that only requires T4 ligase. RT-LIDA involves RNA-templated ligation primers to form complementary (cDNA) followed by toehold-mediated strand ...

  Objective(s): Hypoxia is a serious challenge for treatment of solid tumors. This condition has been manifested to exert significant therapeutic effects on glioblastoma multiform or (WHO) astrocytoma grade IV. Hypoxia contributes numerous changes in cellular mechanisms such as angiogenesis, metastasis and apoptosis evasion. Furthermore, in molecular level, hypoxia can cause induction of DNA br...

Background: IFN-g is mostly secreted by activated CD4+ , CD8+ T cells and NK cells. This cytokine has immunomodulatory, anti-cancer and anti-microbial effects and is important for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of chronic infections and cancers. Objective: The purpose of this study was to clone the full cDNA of human IFN-g and express it in CHO cell line. Methods: Lymphocytes from a healt...

Most cDNA library screening procedures do not distinguish between full-length and incomplete clones and therefore may yield incomplete cDNA fragments. Thus, there is a widespread need for a method allowing the efficient selection of full-length clones. I present a rapid, PCR-based method that allows the simultaneous screening of > 10(6) cDNAs. The longest cDNA is identified in the first step so...

Resurrection plants are a unique group of flora showing an extraordinary ability to survive extreme water shortages. Among them, the Bulgarian endemic plant Haberlea rhodopensis Friv. has been used as model study mechanisms underlying desiccation tolerance induced by and low temperature stress. Although extensive transcriptome data, including two RNAseq experiments, available for drought recove...

aspartic proteases are a relatively small group of enzymes which express in various nematodes including onchocerca volvulus. an estimation of the gene copy number corresponding to the ov7a clone, which contains a cdna insert encoding approximately two-thirds of the entire coding sequence of aspartic protease of o. volvulus, was made by slot blot analysis in a closely related species o. gibsonig...
