Irreversible enzyme-shuttle immunoassay.

چکیده
The concept of a competitive enzyme immunoassay that utilizes simultaneously the bound and the free analyte-enzyme conjugate (heterobifunctional conjugate) for signal generation in response to varying analyte concentrations in samples has been investigated. Two antigenic sites of the heterobifunctional conjugate are used in the assay for binding to immunoglobulins: the analyte derivative binds to an immobilized antibody, Ab(1), and the enzyme component binds to a spatially separated immobilized antibody, Ab(2). The analytical system is set up such that in the absence of analyte, the conjugate is predominantly bound in the compartment that contains Ab(1). With increasing concentration of native analyte in samples, an increasing concentration of native analyte in samples, an increasing amount of conjugate migrates to the second compartment that contains Ab(2). The enzyme bound in each compartment is used for signal generation. Mathematical models have been developed to determine the optimal conditions and to predict the performance of such dual-antibody systems. The theoretical predictions are supported by experimental results. The dual-antibody system has been compared with a conventional competitive enzyme immunoassay using the same reagents.

Continuous monitoring of analyte concentrations.
We have investigated the application of a modified, heterogeneous, competitive enzyme immunoassay for the continuous measurement of small analytes in a medium stream. The analytical system contains two antibodies that are immobilized on spatially separated areas, one binding the analyte (Ab1) and the other binding the enzyme (Ab2). An analyte-enzyme conjugate serves as signal generator. The ana...
متن کاملAcid-labile traceless click linker for protein transduction.
Intracellular delivery of active proteins presents an interesting approach in research and therapy. We created a protein transduction shuttle based on a new traceless click linker that combines the advantages of click reactions with implementation of reversible pH-sensitive bonds. The azidomethyl-methylmaleic anhydride (AzMMMan) linker was found compatible with different click chemistries, dem...

Introduction: Cryptosporidiosis is prevalent world wide, causing a variety of problems ranging from acute, self-limiting diarrhea to fatal cases in immunocompromised persons, particulary those with acquired immunodeficiency (AIDS). Diagnosis of Cryptosporidium is made by identification of oocysts in stool specimens. The detection is most commonly made by the acid-fast staining method followed b...
متن کاملComparison of Enzyme Immunoassay, Immunochromatography, and RNA-Polyacrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis for Diagnosis of Rotavirus Infection in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis
Human rotavirus is a major etiologic agent for infantile diarrhea worldwide. It is responsible for up to 3.3 million deaths per year in children in developing countries. Various rapid and sensitive techniques have been developed to readily diagnose rotavirus gastroenteritis. In the present study, we compared the sensitivity and specificity of immunochromatography and RNA-polyacrylamide-gel elec...
