Anti-DNA immunoassay.

Anti-DNA immunoassay.

Chemiluminescence platforms in immunoassay and DNA analyses.

Chemiluminescent (CL) detection techniques for DNA assays and immunoassays have become very popular in recent years. This review discusses recent advances in those CL assays that have occurred over the last few years. In the monoplex assay section, different classes of CL labels including nanoparticle, DNAzyme, acridinium ester, enzyme and luminol-based CL assays are reviewed concerning the det...

Enzyme immunoassay for anti-treponemal IgG: screening or confirmatory test?

AIMS To review the performance of the Venereal Diseases Research Laboratory (VDRL) test and the Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA) as a combined screen for syphilis to provide a baseline for assessing screening by anti-treponemal IGG EIA. METHODS Between 1980 and 1987 all serum samples were screened by both VDRL and TPHA tests. The FTA-ABS test was also used in suspected early ...

First fully automated immunoassay for anti-Müllerian hormone.

BACKGROUND The increasing importance of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) for the assessment of ovarian reserve requires accurate AMH measurements. There have been conflicting results about the reliability of currently existing manual AMH assays. METHODS Development of a high sensitive, fast and fully automated AMH assay on the Elecsys®/cobas e electrochemiluminescence immunoassay platform. RESU...

Antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory and DNA protection activities of Glaucium grandiflorum var. grandiflorum.

In this study, the antioxidant, antiacetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory, and DNA protecting activities of the aerial parts of Glaucium grandiflorum var. grandiflorum were evaluated. It was found that the lyophilized methanolic extract exhibited an inhibitory capacity against FeCl3/ascorbic acid induced posphatidylcholine liposome oxidation (EC50 = 2.62  0.08 mg/mL), quenched HOCl (5.87  0...
