Comparison of tissue preparation methods for assay of nicotinamide coenzymes.

چکیده
To prepare tissues for analysis of NAD(+), NADH, NADP(+), and NADPH, common practice is to freeze samples in liquid nitrogen, often followed by freeze-drying, before extraction in HCl or NaOH. With cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons, prefreezing in liquid nitrogen or slower freezing to -20 degrees C yielded substantially lower values for NADH and NADPH than obtained from samples homogenized immediately in acid or base. Freeze-drying after freezing in liquid nitrogen generally caused even lower values of those coenzymes. We suggest that direct extraction is more likely to yield accurate results with cotyledons and other plant parts.

متن کاملPreparation of prostate specific antigen standards for immunoradiometric assay
Background: Immunoradiometric assay is one of the most common and precise methods for determination of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in clinical laboratories. Usual use of human serum in routine assays has many disadvantages such as easy contamination and precipitation, instability and unavailability. Thus in order to avoid these problems the artificial matrix was used which acts sim...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Insulin Producing Cells Using Minimal Differentiation Factors
Background & Aims: Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes, is an autoimmune disease in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by the immune system. Hitherto, no definite treatment has been found for this condition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells that have the ability to differentiate into mesodermal tissues. This ability has attracted the attention...
متن کاملDose-Dependent Response of Personal Glucose Meters to Nicotinamide Coenzymes: Applications to Point-of-Care Diagnostics of Many Non-Glucose Targets in a Single Step.
We report a discovery that personal glucose meters (PGMs) can give a dose-dependent response to nicotinamide coenzymes, such as the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). We have developed methods that take advantage of this discovery to perform one-step homogeneous assays of many non-glucose targets that are difficult to recognize by DNAzymes, aptamers, or antibodies, and wi...
