Abstract A sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay for human inter-leukin-2 (hIL-2) using monoclonal antibody IS described. A monoclonai anti-hIL-2 IgG-coated poiystyrene ball was incubated with hIL-2 and subsequently with affinity-purified rabbit anti-hIL-2 Fab'-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. Peroxidase activity bound to the polystyrene ball was assayed by fluorimetry using 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid as a substrate. There was no cross-reaction with interleukins 1α and 1bT, epidermal growth factor, insulin and other protein hormones. The detection limit of hIL-2 was 3 pg/tube or 30 ng/1 using 0.1 ml of cuiture supernatant. When peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy subjects aged 22-62 yr were cultured in the absence and presence of phytohemagglutinin P for 48 h, hIL-2 levels in the culture supernatants were <0.03-0.10 μg/1 and 0.18-3.7 μg/1, respectively. 相似文献

As a ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter the OppA receptor plays key roles in protecting the host organism and transporting nutrients across the intestine by the oligopeptide transporter from symbiotic bacteria and directs maturation of the host immune system. Among lactic acid bacteria, Bifidobacterium longum KACC91563, isolated from fecal samples of healthy Korean neonates, has the capability to alleviate food allergy effects. Operating as a peptide importer, the extracellular OppA receptor from gram-positive B. longum KACC91563 translocates nutrients, specifically peptides, from the outside environment of the intestinal tract to the inside of symbiotic cells. In the present study we attempt to explicate the relationship between the substrate’s specificity from the OppA importer and the probiotic effects of B. longum KACC91563 in the host intestine. It was first identified in this study the specialized structure–function relationship from the OppA importer of B. longum KACC91563 with its structural and functional determinants. This could provide insights into substrate specificity of unique immunological properties and a key switch for the substrate’s metabolism to reprogramming immune responses in the host intestine by structure-based molecular modeling. The probiotic effects of oligopeptide substrate (such as a proline-rich peptide containing at least one branched residue of leucine, isoleucine, and valine) and its metabolism for the OppA from B. longum KACC91563 are attributed to enhancement of the epithelial barrier by several different strain specific pathways to prevent the strong adhesion of pathogens. 相似文献

Among various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from human skin, trans-2-nonenal, benzothiazole, hexyl salicylate, α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde, and isopropyl palmitate are key indicators associated with the degrees of aging. In our study, extraction and determination methods of human body odor are newly developed using headspace-in needle microextraction (HS-INME). The adsorbent was synthesized with graphene oxide:polyaniline/zinc nanorods/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (GO:PANI/ZNRs/ZIF−8). Then, a wire coated with the adsorbent was placed into the adsorption kit to be directly exposed to human skin as in vivo sampling and inserted into the needle so that it was able to be desorbed at the GC injector. The adsorption kit was made in-house with a 3D printer. For the in vitro method, the wire coated with the adsorbent was inserted into the needle and exposed to the headspace of the vial. When a cotton T-shirt containing body odor was transferred to a vial, the headspace of the vial was saturated with body odor VOCs. After volatile organic compounds were adsorbed in the dynamic mode, the needle was transferred to the injector for analysis of the volatile organic compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The conditions of adsorbent fabrication and extraction for body odor compounds were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). In conclusion, it was able to synthesize GO:PANI/ZNRs/ZIF−8 at the optimal condition and applicable to both in vivo and in vitro methods for body odor VOCs analysis. 相似文献

Polyvalent carbohydrate–protein interactions occur frequently in biology, particularly in recognition events on cellular membranes. Collectively, they can be much stronger than corresponding monovalent interactions, rendering it difficult to control them with individual small molecules. Artificial macromolecules have been used as polyvalent ligands to inhibit polyvalent processes; however, both reproducible synthesis and appropriate characterization of such complex entities is demanding. Herein, we present an alternative concept avoiding conventional macromolecules. Small glycodendrimers which fulfill single molecule entity criteria self‐assemble to form non‐covalent nanoparticles. These particles—not the individual molecules—function as polyvalent ligands, efficiently inhibiting polyvalent processes both in vitro and in vivo. The synthesis and characterization of these glycodendrimers is described in detail. Furthermore, we report on the characterization of the non‐covalent nanoparticles formed and on their biological evaluation. 相似文献

Methanolic leaf extracts of four Lauraceae species endemic to Laurisilva forest (Apollonias barbujana, Laurus novocanariensis, Ocotea foetens and Persea indica) were investigated for the first time for their potential to inhibit key enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, aldose reductase) and obesity (pancreatic lipase), and protein glycation. Lauraceae extracts revealed significant inhibitory activities in all assays, altough with different ability between species. In general, P. indica showed the most promissing results. In the protein glycation assay, all analysed extracts displayed a stronger effect than a reference compound: aminoguanidine (AMG). The in vitro anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and anti-glycation activities of analysed extracts showed correlation with their flavonols and flavan-3-ols (in particular, proanthocyanins) contents. These Lauraceae species have the capacity to assist in adjuvant therapy of type-2 diabetes and associated complications, through modulation of the activity of key metabolic enzymes and prevention of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation. 相似文献
