Wash-free, antibody-assisted magnetoreduction assays of orchid viruses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study demonstrates the feasibility of wash-free magnetoreduction assays (MRA) of orchid viruses. A magnetic reagent, consisting of magnetic beads coated with antibodies and dispersed in water, was synthesized. By using a mixed-frequency alternative-current (ac) magnetosusceptometer, differences in the magnetic susceptibilities of the magnetic reagent before and after the addition of orchid solutions were measured. The results show significant advantages for MRA of orchid viruses.

Production of virus-free orchid Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw. by various tissue culture techniques
Orchids are affected by many viruses resulting in poor growth, yield and quality, and an overall decline in population. Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is one of the common orchid viruses found in Cymbidium species but it infects different orchid genera. In this study Cymbidium aloifolium was propagated in vitro using MS medium at different strength (1.0, ½, and ¼) with or without 0.5 mg/l BAP (...
متن کاملDigilog Orchid: Interactive Ink-and-Wash Painting Project
This paper describes a digital project in which ink-and-wash painting, an East Asian art form with a 1,300-year history, is drawn in interaction with an audience. This project was intended to analyze the traditional thoughts and techniques associated with the ink-andwash painting of an orchid, a design that expresses Eastern philosophy. The project relies on an interactive technique to demonstr...
متن کاملDetermination of antibody response to influenza virus surface glycoproteins by kinetic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
We modified an existing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to be able to use new spectrophotometers which can measure the rate of color development in microtiter wells. This new kinetic-based ELISA (KELISA) required only a single dilution of specimen rather than the multiple dilutions required with endpoint ELISA. In addition, 10- to 100-fold-less specimen was required to perform the KEL...
متن کاملAssessment of a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the detection of avian influenza viruses
Rapid spreading of the low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) caused by the H9N2 subtype and the highly pathogenic AIV caused by H5N1 have caused serious economic losses in the poultry industries of Asia. Therefore, the early detection of AIVs is crucial for the control of the disease. In the present study, the applicability of a rapid immunochromatographic (RIC) assay, which specifically d...
متن کاملThe Effects of Hydro-alcoholic Extracts of Allium sativum L. and Orchismaculata L. on Spermatogenesis Index and Testosterone Level in Cyclophosphamide-treated Rats
Background:One of the most common side effects of cyclophosphamide (CP) is oligo-spermatozoa, azoospermia and elimination of spermatogenic cycles. This study was done to find the efficacy of simultaneous consumption of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and orchid (Orchismaculata L.) hydroalcoholic extracts on spermatogenesis and sex hormones in rats treated with CP. ...
