Evaluation of fungal-specific fluorescent labeled echinocandin probes as diagnostic adjuncts.

چکیده
The diagnosis of invasive fungal infections from radiographic imaging is non-specific and problematic. As a first step toward increasing specificity, we describe the development of a broad-spectrum fungal-specific targeting molecule, which when modified with a fluorescent label fully retains its targeting properties, and provides a basis for future imaging applications.

Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. The angiogenic programme requires the degradation of the basement membrane, endothelial cell migration and invasion of the extracellular matrix, with endothelial cell proliferation and capillary lumen formation before maturation and stabilization of the new vasculature. Angiogenesis is dependent on a delicate equ...
متن کاملDouble-labeled fluorescent probes for 5' nuclease assays: purification and performance evaluation.
An inexpensive method for the purification and evaluation of user-synthesized or crude commercially prepared double-labeled fluorescent probes is presented. These probes exhibit the characteristics required for use in 5'-nuclease assays, including efficient reporter dye quenching, target specificity and susceptibility to cleavage by Taq DNA polymerase during PCR amplification. The method is sui...

We evaluated the performance of the Candida albicans/Candida glabrata peptide nucleic acid fluorescent in situ hybridization (PNA FISH) method, a rapid two-color assay for detection of C. albicans and C. glabrata, in a multicenter study. The assay is designed for use directly from positive blood culture bottles in a FISH format. Intact, fixed cells are labeled fluorescent green (C. albicans) or...

Objective(s): Despite recent advances in treatment modalities, cancer remains a major source of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Currently, the development of sensitive and specific molecular imaging probes for early diagnosis of cancer is still a problematic challenge. Previous studies have been shown that some of the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit...
