Real-time and label-free detection of biomolecular interactions by oblique-incidence reflectivity difference method

We successfully conduct the label-free and real-time detection of the interactions between epoxy groups and rabbit IgG and 5' CTT CAG GTC ATG AGC CTG AT 3' oligonucleotide, and between the hybridization of 5' CTT CAG GTC ATG AGC CTG AT 3' and its complementary 3' GAA GTC CAG TAC TCG GAC TA 5' oligonucleotide, by the oblique-incidence reflectivity difference (OI-RD) method. The dynamic curves of OI-RD signals, corresponding to the kinetic processes of biomolecular combination or hybridization, are acquired. In our case, the combination of epoxy groups with rabbit IgG and 5' CTT CAG GTC ATG AGC CTG AT 3' oligonucleotide need almost one and a half hours and about two hundred seconds, respectively; and the hybridization of the two oligonucleotides needs about five hundred seconds. The experimental results show that the OI-RD is a promising method for the real-time and label-free detection of biomolecular interactions.

组蛋白翻译后修饰无标定量方法可靠性的比较

组蛋白翻译后修饰是一种表观遗传学修饰,参与调控细胞的新陈代谢等重要生理过程。蛋白质组学发展迅速,使监控组蛋白翻译后修饰的动态变化成为可能。目前主要有3种无标定量方法（谱图计数法、峰面积积分法和信号强度法）,但何种定量方法更可靠尚未见系统性的详细报道。在稳定同位素标记细胞培养技术（SILAC）基础上,对去乙酰化酶抑制剂（SAHA）调控细胞乙酰化修饰水平的定量数据进行对比,比较3种无标定量方法对组蛋白翻译后修饰进行的定量分析,利用定量结果的标准差（SD）评估定量的可靠性,最终发现基于峰面积积分法定量的结果可靠性最高。该研究对难以进行同位素标记实验的样本分析,尤其对临床样本、大样本的组蛋白修饰谱分析具有重要参考意义。     

Label-free high-throughput and real-time detections of protein interactions by oblique-incidence reflectivity difference method

Selected Mouse IgG of 1 mg/mL as target was fabricated on microarray for 500 sample dots.Label-free and real-time reaction dynamic processes were detected between the microarrays with Goat Anti-mouse IgG of 0.02 mg/mL using the obliqueincidence reflectivity difference(OIRD)method.We obtained the reaction results and the reaction dynamic curves of 500 protein dots.In addition,we also used label-free detection of protein microarrays of 10080 sample dots,including BSA and different concentrations of Mouse IgG and Rabbit IgG,by OIRD.The obtained reaction results between the protein microarray with 1 mg/mL Goat Anti-mouse IgG and 1 mg/mL Goat Anti-rabbit IgG are reported herein.Experimental results show that OIRD can be not only label-free high-throughput detection method for biological microarrays but also label-free real-time detection in the interaction processes of biomolecules.     

The Chemical Characterization of Potential Organic Interferences in Two Commercially Available Polymeric Adsorbents

Abstract

Current use of synthetic adsorbents for the collection of trace organics in environmental samples is quite extensive. It has been suggested that high levels of organic contaminants in these resins may interfere with subsequent analyses, however, the identity of these suspected contaminants has not been reported.

This paper reports a qualitative and quantitative characterization of the residual organics in two polymeric adsorbents.

Both resins are commercially available polymers of styrene divinyl-benzene. The structures of the contaminants were verified by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). High artifact levels are typical for both of the Amberite® resins studied. The majority of these materials, as verified by capillary GC/MS, were alkyl derivatives of benzene, styrene, naphthalene and biphenyl.

纳米孔技术对PD-1抗原抗体结合检测的实验研究

肿瘤的免疫疗法是利用人体自身的免疫系统去治疗肿瘤的一种方法，程序性死亡受体1（PD-1）是肿瘤免疫疗法中的一种免疫检查点，利用PD-1或PD-L1的单克隆抗体，可以阻断PD-1/PD-L1信号通路，恢复T细胞的免疫杀伤功能，实现肿瘤的免疫治疗.为了研究PD-1抗体药物与人体PD-1抗原的结合有效性，以PD-1蛋白质分子为实验对象，用纳米孔传感器件开展了PD-1、PD-1抗体及其结合物的辨识.分别对纯PD-1蛋白质分子和其抗体分子进行了纳米孔过孔实验研究，发现PD-1及其抗体的相对堵塞电流幅值比分别为0.00404和0.01297，实现了抗原抗体分子的区分.并对Si₃N₄纳米孔内壁进行了PD-1抗体修饰，再将PD-1蛋白质分子通过经抗体修饰后的纳米孔，以期实现结合物的检测，实验结果显示部分抗原抗体实现了特异性结合，剩下部分呈游离状，所以纳米孔技术可实现抗原抗体结合物的区分.未来，纳米孔有望成为无标志检测药物有效性的一种新手段.

Use of DSC and TG for identification and quantification of the dosage form

Thermal analysis techniques, DSC and TG can advantageously be used in quality control of drug products.The methods are commonly used in preformulation for the study of polymorphism and for the study of the interactions drug substance-excipients, since these physical interactions can be the basis of the dosage form performance.For routine control of the drug products, DSC and TG methods which are quick, which require only few mg of the samples and which are automated, are very attractive for routine analysis of drug products. A single scan can give several qualitative and quantitative informations.DSC offer analytical possibilities only if the drug substance and the excipients do not have physical interactions or limited interactions (e.g. eutectic behaviour). About twenty marketed products have been analyzed by DSC and TG. In most of them identification of drug substance is easy. Several excipients could be identified in a tablet. Quantitations are demonstrated for some drug substances and excipients. DSC purity calculations have been applied to acetyl salicylic acid, paracetamol, cimetidine, pindolol, ibuprofen.     

Analysis of individual natural pyrethrins in indoor matrices by HRGC/ECD

An HRGC/ECD method is presented which permits the identification and quantitation of individual components of pyrethrins (cinerin I, jasmolin I, pyrethrin I, cinerin II, jasmolin II, pyrethrin II) in indoor matrices (airborne particles, house dust) after application of an agent containing pyrethrum. In order to prepare calibration standards for the individual components of the pyrethrum extract, the pyrethrins were isolated hy semi-preparative HPLC and their content and purity were determined by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy.
