We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Y. pestis by targeting the 3a sequence on chromosome. All 11 species of the genus Yersinia were used to evaluate the specificity of LAMP and PCR, demonstrating that the primers had a high level of specificity. The sensitivity of LAMP or PCR was 2.3 or 23CFU for pure culture, whereas 2.3×104 or 2.3×106CFU for...

The limbic system-associated membrane protein (LAMP) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by cortical and subcortical regions of the mammalian CNS that comprise or receive direct projections from limbic system structures. The early and restricted expression of LAMP has led to its postulated role in neural development. Purification and biochemical characterization of LAMP was performed in or...

background and aims: considering difficulties in usual laboratory methods in detection of viral infections, improved dna-based diagnostic techniques are more reliable. loop mediated isothermal amplification method (lamp) is a nucleic acid amplification method that amplifies dna using six primers which has been developed to diagnose viruses as a rapid and high efficiency test. in this study, the...

conclusions results of the current study confirmed that molecular methods such as pcr and lamp were much more sensitive, rapid, and specific than culturing to identify non-culturable coccoid forms of h. pylori in water. results ten copies of targeted dna were required for pcr detection whereas only five copies gave a positive reaction by lamp assay, with 100% specificity. of the 10 isolates ino...

Taraxacum formosanum (TF) is a medicinal plant used as an important component of health drinks in Taiwan. In this study, a rapid, sensitive and specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for authenticating TF was established. A set of four specific LAMP primers was designed based on the nucleotide sequence of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDN...

We introduce LAMP: the Linear Additive Markov Process. Transitions in LAMP may be influenced by states visited in the distant history of the process, but unlike higher-order Markov processes, LAMP retains an efficient parameterization. LAMP also allows the specific dependence on history to be learned efficiently from data. We characterize some theoretical properties of LAMP, including its stead...

∗ Corresponding author Abstract -This exploratory study examined the possibility of driving a fluorescent lamp at high frequency with no serially connected passive elements. The proposed driver is a full bridge stage controlled by the phase shifted PWM scheme. Current feedback was used to stabilize the average of the rectified lamp current to a set value. The experimental results of this resear...
