چکیده

In this colorimetric immunoassay for digoxin, large, unilamellar phospholipid vesicles approximately 0.2 micron in diameter are loaded with high concentrations of Sulforhodamine B. Digoxigenin coupled to phosphatidylethanolamine, incorporated into the lipid formulation, confers immunological specificity. The liposomes are then used as tracers in simple competitive-binding immunoassays with antibody-coated tubes. Results are amplified by 10(3) to 10(4) of what could be achieved with one label group attached to each hapten, so that the results can be read spectrophotometrically. The stability of the liposomes is excellent. The method should be applicable to measuring a wide variety of analytes.

High sensitivity detection of bisphenol A using liposome chromatography.

An antibody column in tandem with a fluorescent dye entrapped liposome column was developed for highly sensitive detection of an endocrine disruptor, bisphenol A (BPA). Anti-BPA antibody was immobilized in a protein G column with orientation control. A derivative of BPA was conjugated to phospholipase A2 (PLA2). BPA sample solutions mixed with the BPA-PLA2 conjugates were injected on to the ant...

Immunization with oligomannose-coated liposome-entrapped dense granule protein 7 protects dams and offspring from Neospora caninum infection in mice.

The present study demonstrates that the subcutaneous administration of Neospora caninum dense granule protein 7 (NcGRA7) entrapped in liposomes coated with mannotriose strongly induces the parasite-specific T-helper type 1 immune response and humoral antibody in mice. Although anti-NcGRA7 immunoglobulin G1 antibody production was induced in mice injected with NcGRA7 alone, the dams and offsprin...

Highly sensitive immunoassays based on use of liposomes without complement.

We describe a novel liposome-based immunoassay in which covalently linked hapten-cytolysin conjugates are used instead of complement and surface-immobilized immunoreagents. Stable, unilamellar liposomes containing entrapped alkaline phosphatase as a marker enzyme were prepared by dialysis of octyl glucoside from suspensions of cholesterol and egg yolk lecithin. The resulting vesicles could be i...

Highly Sensitive FRET-Based Fluorescence Immunoassay for Detecting of Aflatoxin B1 Using Magnetic/Silica Core-Shell as a Signal Intensifier

Background: Recently, some new nanobiosensors using different nanoparticles or microarray systems for detection of mycotoxins have been designed . However, rapid, sensitive and early detection of aflatoxicosis would be very helpful to distinguish high-risk persons. Objectives: We report a highly sensitive competitive immunoassay using magnetic/silica core shell as a signal intensifier for the d...
