Short communication: Towards saliva-based screening for sleeping sickness?
A pilot study was carried out on the detection of trypanosome-specific antibodies in saliva for diagnosis of sleeping sickness. All twenty-three saliva samples of parasitologically confirmed Trypanosoma brucei gambiense patients tested positive in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas all 14 saliva samples of a negative control group remained negative. Trypanosome-specific anti...
متن کاملCell-based assays and instrumentation for screening ion-channel targets.
Ion channels are an important class of drug targets. They comprise the molecular basis for essential physiological functions including fluid secretion, electrolyte balance, bioenergetics and membrane excitability. High-throughput screening for ion-channel function requires sensitive, simple assays and instrumentation that will report ion channel activity in living cells. This article will revie...
متن کاملSaliva in diagnostics- a useful screening tool
Salivary flow testing is also known as sialometry, which measures the flow rate of saliva. Saliva is mainly produced by the major salivary glands, viz. parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. Salivary flow testing is usually included in the topodiagnostic methods of testing for facial nerve paresis or paralysis, and is a very sensitive early indicator of nerve damage because the flow is d...
متن کاملTranslational challenges and analgesic screening assays.
Progress in the development of novel treatments for chronic pain syndromes relies, in part, on both clinically-relevant animal model simulations and analgesic screening procedures [5]. Simulations purport to mimic the features of a clinical syndrome and screenings are geared towards drug discovery. The validity of any animal model simulation is based on how well that model fits the human clinic...
متن کاملPharmacological screening and enzymatic assays for apoptosis.
Mitochondria play a central role in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. In response to many pro-apoptotic stimuli, mitochondria undergo an irreversible process called mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP). The detection of MMP in isolated mitochondria is most often based on assays that monitor either the loss of the inner transmembrane potential (DYm; classically with Rhodamine 123), pe...
