A system for detection of trace amounts of protein was developed. Two different monoclonal antibodies against human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were covalently bound to latex particles. When the latex particles were mixed with a sample containing hCG, a latex-protein-latex complex (immunocomplex) was formed. The complex was separated from the single latex particles using capillary electrophore...

The quantitative detection of oligomeric nucleic acids including short double-stranded RNA in cells and tissues becomes increasingly important. Here, we describe a method for the detection of siRNA in extracts prepared from mammalian cells, which is based on liquid hybridization with a 32P-labelled probe followed by a nuclease protection step. The limit of detection of absolute amounts of siRNA...

A new time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay system involving use of the europium chelate of 4,7-bis(chlorosulfophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid as label is reviewed. This stable chelate by itself is not very fluorescent but, used in multiple labeling strategies, improves the achievable detection limits. By using multiple labeling, streptavidin tailing, and Eu3+ activation, one...

Cyclic voltammetry shows that yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (YCC), chemisorbed on a bare gold electrode via Cys102, exhibits fast, reversible interfacial electron transfer (k(0) = 1.8 x 10(3) s(-1)) and retains its native functionality. Vectorially immobilized YCC relays electrons to yeast cytochrome c peroxidase, and to both cytochrome cd(1) nitrite reductase (NIR) and nitric oxide reductase from P...

by Prof. Larry Davis An item hot off the press is that the Department’s undergraduate programming team, coached by Amol Deshpande, went to Stockholm to compete with squads from all over the world in a programming contest known as the “Battle of the Brains.” Our team placed 20th, and only three other U.S. universities did better or as well – MIT placed 7’th, CMU 12th and Stanford tied with us fo...

The city is the base and the space for people to come together. The space in which human interaction and social affairs occur and is identified in terms of epistemic and ontological support. So that we can talk about beautiful city, industrial city, western city and Islamic city. This paper uses the method of thematic analysis to explain the Islamic city by analyzing the relevant sources ...
