Detection of Acetylcholine Receptor Blocking Antibodies by Flow Cytometry.
OBJECTIVES Detection of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) blocking antibodies through the use of a radiolabel has become standard procedure in most laboratories. Known drawbacks associated with radioassay, including cost of radioisotopes, hazards to laboratory professionals, and manufacture and disposal of radioactive materials, have prompted investigation into replacement assays. We describe here ...
متن کاملDetection of acetylcholine receptor modulating antibodies by flow cytometry.
OBJECTIVES To determine the clinical utility and performance characteristics of a laboratory-adapted flow cytometric method for the detection of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) modulating antibodies in myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS Serum samples from 120 healthy donors and 100 patients with suspected MG were assessed for the ability to reduce surface AChR concentrations (antigenic modulation)...
متن کاملDetection of borreliacidal antibodies in hamsters by using flow cytometry.
Flow cytometry can be used to detect antibody that kills Borrelia burgdorferi. Borreliacidal activity was detected within 3 h of incubating B. burgdorferi with immune serum and complement. Right-angle light scatter and propidium iodide fluorescence were the cytometric parameters which correlated best with in vitro killing of B. burgdorferi. Flow cytometry is a rapid method for determining the p...
متن کاملDetection of bacterial aggregation by flow cytometry
Since the advent of recombinant DNA technology, bacteria have been used often to express foreign proteins [1]. Soluble proteins expressed by bacteria can be expressed either in the cytoplasm or they are secreted to the periplasm or outside the cell. In general proteins expressed in the cytoplasm are expressed to higher levels than if they are secreted[1]. Many hydrophobic and highly expressed p...
متن کاملDetection of intracytoplasmic cytokines by flow cytometry.
Flow cytometry has been used as a powerful technique for studying cell surface antigen expression as well as intracellular molecules. Its capability of analyzing multiple parameters simultaneously on a single cell has allowed identification and studies of functional cell subsets within heterogeneous populations. In this respect, several techniques have been developed during the past few years t...
