HPLC was used in combination with immuno-bead separation technique for identification of an individual protein from a pool of proteins. This was carried out using an in-house monoclonal antibody (ATC2) specific for placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) as a primary antibody for conjugation to CNBr beads. The phosphatase activity (ALP) of PLAP was measured by colorimetric assay (MEDC). The data from this study has so far indicated that: 1. HPLC analysis of molecules following isolation with ATC2-conjugated beads showed high degree of purity. This could be achieved using protein mixtures prepared from lysates of tumour cell lines or tumour fragments. 2. HPLC-isolated PLAP maintained phosphatase activity. 3. Out of the four dissociation reagents used, diethyl amine (DEA) was found to be the best reagent for dissociation of antigen, ie PLAP, but not mAb from CNBr beads. 4. The profile of ALP activity was different for samples prepared from testis and kidney fragments, both in terms of the HPLC peak profile as well as the sensitivity. These data confirmed that the immuno-bead separation technique in conjunction with HPLC were powerful tools for identifying an individual protein from a pool of proteins. These approaches are being used for the identification of PLAP molecules, as a tumour marker in patients suspected of testicular malignancies with equivocal ultrasound. 相似文献
Semiquantitative analysis mode in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been popularly used for fast screening purposes. Although the benefit of it has been studied by many researchers, its performance of application in real-world routine analyses has not been reported.
In this study, we evaluated the reliability of semiquantitative analysis mode through inter-laboratory comparison using two different ICP-MS systems with one multi-element calibration standard. The suitability of semiquantitative analysis mode in routine analysis laboratory was demonstrated by evaluating its application in different laboratories and in real production laboratory practices. Twenty one elements were measured, namely, Be, B, Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, Tl, and Pb in various fresh water reference samples. Good results concerning accuracy (relative percentage error within 10%) and reproducibility (relative standard deviation lower than 5%) were obtained in more than 90% analyzed samples at concentrations equal to or greater than 10 times the detection limit (DL). Semiquantitative analysis mode also enabled the determination of elements that are not present in the calibration standard. The results demonstrated the potential of semiquantitative analysis mode as a reliable approach in routine laboratory determination of simple matrices, where high throughput and cost-effectiveness are desired, as well as in emergency situations where speed of analysis is critical and quite often limited sample information is available. 相似文献
W. S. Johnson's total synthesis of the sesquiterpenoid longifolene is a classic example of the power of cationic polycyclizations for constructing complex molecular architectures. Herein we revisit the key polycyclization step of this synthesis using hybrid Hartree-Fock/density functional theory calculations and validate the feasibility of Johnson's proposed mechanism. We also explore perturbations to the 3-center 2-electron bonding array in a key intermediate that result from changing the polycyclic framework in which it is embedded. 相似文献
A method was developed to determine traces of trifluoroacetic acid as impurity in synthetic or semi-synthetic drugs as antibiotics, macropeptides, etc. Capillary electrophoresis in combination with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) was used due to lack of UV absorbance property of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The optimized method took less than 1 min with good linearity (R2 = 0.9995) for trifluoroacetic acid concentration from 2 to 100 ppm. It also has a good repeatability expressed by the relative standard deviation (% RSD) which is 1.2 and 2.1% for intraday and interday precision, respectively, at 50 ppm TFA, and good sensitivity with 0.34 ppm, 1.2 ppm LOD and LOQ, respectively. In addition, the content of TFA in synthetic drug, was determined using the validated method which gave good linearity (R2 = 0.9996) for trifluoroacetic acid spiked into drug in a concentration range of 2-80 ppm, with good intraday repeatability of 2.0%.The analysis is performed in a background electrolyte composed of 20 mM morpholinoethane-sulfonic acid (Mes) and 20 mM l-histidine (l-His) pH 6.1. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was added as flow modifier in a concentration (0.2 mM) lower than the critical micellar concentration. Ammonium formate 6 ppm was used as internal standard. The applied voltage was 30 kV in reverse polarity. A fused silica capillary with 75 μm internal diameter and total length 47 cm (31 cm to C4D detector and 37 cm to DAD detector) was used. 相似文献
StrongL1-convergence towards a stationary solution when time tends to infinity is established for the solutions of the time-dependent nonlinear Boltzmann equation in a bounded domain 3 with constant temperature on the boundary. The collisionless case is first investigated in the varying temperature case. 相似文献
This paper studies the stationary nonlinear Boltzmann equation for hard forces, in a Taylor-Couette setting between two coaxial, rotating cylinders with given indata of Maxwellian type on the cylinders. A priori Lq-estimates are obtained, and used to prove a Taylor type bifurcation with isolated solutions and a hydrodynamic limit control, based on asymptotic expansions together with a rest term correction. The positivity of such solutions is also considered. 相似文献
An adaptive multi-stage optimization method utilizing a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) is proposed here to identify the multiple damage cases of structural systems. First the structural damage problem is defined as a standard optimization problem. An efficient objective function considering the first few natural frequencies of a structure, before and after damage, is utilized for optimization. A modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) dealing with real values of damage variables is introduced to solve the optimization problem. In order to assess the performance of the proposed method, some illustrative examples with and without considering the measurement noise are tested. Numerical results demonstrate the high accuracy of the method proposed for determining the site and severity of multiple damage cases in the structural systems. 相似文献
An efficient and easy procedure to synthesize the pyridinyl analogues of dibenzylideneacetone (pyr-dba) was developed by the condensation of substituted nicotinaldehyde and acetone in the presence of K(2)CO(3) in toluene-EtOH-H(2)O solvent system. Structurally diverse pyr-dba, including quinolinyl dba, can be prepared conveniently in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions with this method. The resulting pyr-dba functioned as the enone analogs of curcumin and efficiently inhibited the activation of NF-κB and the growth of colorectal carcinoma HCT116 p53+/+ cells as well as the HIV-1 IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction. 相似文献
This paper deals with mathematical questions for Bose gases below the temperature TBEC where Bose-Einstein condensation sets in. The model considered is of two-component type, consisting of a kinetic equation
for the distribution function of a gas of (quasi-)particles interacting with a Bose condensate, which is described by a Gross-Pitaevskii
equation. Existence results and moment estimates are proved in the space-homogeneous, isotropic case. 相似文献
This paper describes a simple method for the preparation and characterization of protein density gradients on solid supports. The method employs colloidal metal nanoparticles as protein carriers and optical tags and is capable of forming linear, exponential, 1D, 2D, and multiprotein gradients of varying slope without expensive or sophisticated surface patterning techniques. Surfaces patterned with proteins using the procedures described within are shown to support cell growth and are thus suitable for studies of protein-cell interactions. 相似文献
