4-Iodophenol was applied to an enhancer in the direct detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated in liposomes by using luminol chemiluminescence (CL). Luminol, 4-iodophenol and hydrogen peroxide permeate into the inner phase of liposomes containing HRP, resulting in the progress of 4-iodophenol-enhanced luminol CL catalyzed by HRP in liposomes. The CL intensity observed in liposomes...

The predicted hrp boxes include all expected hrp boxes upstream of well-characterized hrp genes, which gives confidence in the existing models to represent members of the hrp box family. Some candidate genes downstream of the putative hrp boxes are found to be downregulated in a HrpL mutant . Future work will investigate the combination of biological features into the models and generalize the ...

Paramecium caudatum cells were pulse-chased in horseradish peroxidase (HRP) using pulses of 30 s to follow endosome (endocytotic vesicle) formation from defaecating digestive vacuoles and 3-min pulses to follow the movement and fate of these vesicles in the cell. Endosomes formed during the 30 s in HRP are heavily labelled with HRP reaction product and are mostly flattened. Some align along mic...

We have previously proposed the plant enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as an enzyme/prodrug combination for cancer gene therapy. In the current study, we evaluated the potential of HRP/IAA for gene-directed enzyme/prodrug therapy in three human tumor cell lines (T24 bladder carcinoma, MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma, and FaDu nasopharyngeal squamo...

Discs of network polyvinyl alcohol-glutaraldehyde (PVAG) were synthesized and coated with polyaniline (PANI) using glutaraldehyde as a chemical arm (PVAG-PANIG-HRP disc). The best conditions for the immobilization were established as about 1.0 mg mL(-1) of protein, for 60 min and pH 5.5. The soluble enzyme lost all of its activity after incubation at 70°C for 15 min, whereas the PVAG-PANIG-HRP ...

A highly stable immunoassay format was constructed using signal-generating enzyme immobilized in nanoporous carbon. A mesocellular carbon foam, called MSU-F-C, was loaded with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), followed by cross-linking of the enzyme using glutaraldehyde (GA) and modification of the surface with anti-human IgG through EDC/sulfo-NHS chemistry. The resulting MSU-F-C/HRP/anti-human IgG...

shoulder movements are a complex motor act, controlled by many muscles attached to thescapula and the vertebral column. these muscles are innervating by motoneurons (mns) located in theventral horn of the spinal cord. motoneurons of the ventral horn are arranged such that several groups ofmns can be distinguished in a transverse section through the spinal cord. the anatomical or functionalimpli...

Pseudomonas syringae is a member of an important group of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens of plants and animals that depend on a type III secretion system to inject virulence effector proteins into host cells. In P. syringae, hrp/hrc genes encode the Hrp (type III secretion) system, and avirulence (avr) and Hrp-dependent outer protein (hop) genes encode effector proteins. The hrp/hrc genes of...

A luminol-H2O2-HRP chemiluminescence system with high relative luminescent intensity (RLU) and long stabilization time was investigated. First, the comparative study on the enhancement effect of ten compounds as enhancers to the luminol-H2O2-HRP chemiluminescence system was carried out, and the results showed that 4-(imidazol-1-yl)phenol (4-IMP), 4-iodophenol (4-IOP), 4-bromophenol (4-BOP) and ...

BACKGROUND Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is an important source of ischemic stroke. However, the prevalence of high-risk plaque (HRP) defined as plaques with luminal surface disruption, a lipid-rich necrotic core occupying >40% of the wall, or intraplaque hemorrhage in Chinese population remains unclear. This study uses carotid magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) to investigate HRP preva...
