Abstract
We describe an efficient method for their rapid purification that relies on the capture of these receptors with streptavidin immobilized on agarose beads, and their subsequent release by enzymatic digestion with TEV protease. This method has been applied to several GPCRs belonging to the class A rho...

Abstract
The immobilization procedure to a biosensor surface has a major influence on the measurement results. To characterize the immobilization onto various biolayers, the interaction of DNA anti-thrombin aptamer with the protein thrombin was used as a model system. The aptamer was immobilized to a two-dim...

Abstract
Out of 535 cases, there were 481 (89.9%) cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma with mean age of 48 years and mean tumour size of 4.4 cm. Tumour grade II was seen in 68% cases and lymph node metastases were present in 65% cases. HER-2/neu expression was seen in 31% cases, while ER and PR expression...

Abstract
We describe a simple method for enrichment and separation of plasma membrane proteins, prior to their identification by tandem mass spectrometry. Cell surface proteins are labeled with biotin using a reagent which does not enter the cell, purified by differential centrifugation and then affinity cap...

Abstract
I (cTnI) were analyzed using the EOC. A chemiluminescent signal proportional to the analyte concentration was produced by adding a luminogenic substrate to the tracer enzyme complexed with the analyte on the chip. The luminescent signal was detected in a dark chamber mounted with a cooled charge-cou...

Abstract
We report on porphyrin-based PCL for patterning poly(propylene sulfide) block copolymer films on gold substrates on the micrometer and submicrometer scales. We confirm chemical patterning with imaging ToF-SIMS and low-voltage SEM. Biomolecular patterning on micrometer and submicrometer scales is dem...

Abstract
We have developed an immuno-polymerase chain reaction protocol which includes a highly purified streptavidin-DNA conjugate. The protocol comprises standard ELISA methodology and washing buffers together with a real-time PCR read-out system. The conjugate was employed in both indirect and capture ass...

Abstract
The conjugate of the residue of vitamin H (biotin, Bt) with the hormone of thyroid gland thyroxin (T4) was prepared by N-acylation of N-(3-aminopropyl) biotin amide with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of N-acetyl thyroxin. The interactions of the Bt-T4 conjugate with one or simultaneously with two bindi...

Abstract
Zeptomole detector: A highly sensitive giant-magnetoresistive chip and FeCo nanoparticles can be used to linearly detect 600-4500 copies of streptavidin. Under unoptimized conditions, this system also detects human IL-6 with a sensitivity 13-times higher than that of standard ELISA techniques.

Abstract
We describe OXavidin, a product containing aldehyde groups, obtained by ligand-assisted sugar oxidation of avidin by sodium periodate. OXavidin chemically reacts with cellular and tissue proteins through Schiff's base formation thus residing in tissues for weeks while preserving the biotin binding c...

Abstract
The effect of precipitation of complexes of streptavidin with biotinylated proteins under conditions of simple (according to Mancini) and double (according to Ouchterlony) radial diffusion in agar gel was studied. The position and form of precipitation lines depended primarily on the initial concent...

Abstract
We utilize a combined approach of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) quenched antibody with an "avidin chase" to increase TBR. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2), was biotinylated and conjugated with the near-infrare...

Abstract
Oxidative posttranslational protein modifications occur as a normal process of cell biology and to a greater extent during pathogenic conditions. The detection and quantitation of protein oxidation has posed a continuing challenge to bioanalytical chemists because the products of oxidative protein d...

Abstract
We have demonstrated that using capillary electrophoresis (CE) as an enrichment step greatly improves the efficiency of the process. CE-SELEX is capable of isolating high-affinity aptamers in as little as 2-4 rounds of selection, shortening the process time from several weeks to as little as a few d...

Abstract
Attached bacteria inhabit the surfaces of many marine animals--a process that may play important roles in the survival and transport through aquatic systems. However, efficient detection of these bacteria has been problematic, especially small aquatic animals such as benthic harpacticoid copepod. Qu...
