Sensitivity of SERI’s AP Spot Test in the Detection of Acid Phosphatase
نویسنده
چکیده
Acid phosphatase is an enzyme secreted by the prostate gland that is present in large amounts in seminal fluid. It, like psa (prostatic specific antigen), is not unique to the prostate and can be found in other biological fluids including vaginal secretions. It is therefore considered a presumptive chemical test for the presence of semen and semen must be confirmed by other means (sperm detection or psa detection using membrane test systems).

Spinally mediated analgesic interaction between γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor agonist and glutamate receptor antagonists in rats
Background. Many mechanisms are involved in pain transmission in the spinal cord. Therefore, combination of drugs acting on different kinds of mechanisms might be useful for analgesia. We investigated the interaction betweenγ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）B receptor agonist, baclofen, and N-methyl-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor antagonist, AP-5, orα-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid ...
متن کاملInexpensive chemifluorescent detection of antibody-alkaline phosphatase conjugates on Western blots using 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate.
Nonradioactive methods for the detection of immobilized protein on Western blots are standard laboratory practice. This is in contrast to nucleic acid blotting, which still commonly involves the use of radioactive probes. Although the nonradioactive detection of antibody (Ab)1 complexes in Western blotting can employ direct detection of Xuorochrome–Ab conjugates, the majority of systems detect ...
متن کاملComparison of ertapenem non-susceptibility with 2-mercaptopropionic acid phenotypic tests in predicting NDM-1 and IMP-1 production in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli
Background: A routine phenotypic test has not been recommended for detection of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae species such as Escherichia coli. The current study was conducted to compare the 2-Mercaptopropionic acid (2-MPA) phenotypic method and ertapenem non-susceptibility test with polymerase chain reaction in predicting the production of MBLs in clinical isolates o...

Cervical cancer is one of the major causes of women death worldwide. The aim of this study was to test the sensitivity and specificity of visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and visual inspection with lugol iodine (VILI) as a diagnostic test for cervical cancer in comparison with Pap smear in the North Cameroon region. 309 women aged between 20 to 62 years were recruited in this study. 307...
متن کاملThe use of Polilight in the detection of seminal fluid, saliva, and bloodstains and comparison with conventional chemical-based screening tests. J Forensic Sci 2006;51(2):361-70.
Biological stains can be difficult to detect at crime scenes or on items recovered from crime scenes. The use of a versatile light source may assist in their detection. The ability of Polilight to locate potential semen, saliva, and blood stains on a range of substrates and at different dilutions was tested. We also tested the use of Polilight in comparison with conventional chemical-based pres...
