Summary A recently described immunoperoxidase method for the detection of nuclear human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early antigen (IEA) directly on periphiral blood leucocytes suffers from the drawback that the antigen is vulnerable to endogenous peroxidase inactivation procedures. To solve this problem a procedure is developed in which endogenous peroxidase is inactivated after binding and immobilization of the primary antibody with 4% formaldehyde. In combination with this procedure, three types of inactivation were investigated: glucose/glucose oxidase, hydrochloric acid and methanol/H2O2. Of these three, the first gives optimal results, especially in combination with methanol/acetic acid (20/1 v/v) as the primary fixative. This produre results in preparations which allow for a more objective evaluation and enable automated examination using bright field microscopy.As a second improvement we developed a simple adherence method in order to diminish the risk of infection for the laboratory staff during processing of unknown blood samples. The protocol described shows great clinical potentual for the diagnosis of HCMV infections.Supported in part by the Nier Stichting Nederland (grants No's: C-83404 and C-86606) and Het Praeventiefonds, The Netherlands (grant No: 28-1346) 相似文献

A highly efficient and reproducible two-step liquid—liquid ion-pair extraction technique for the isolation of morphine from biological samples is described. A rapid normal phase high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure coupled with amperometric electrochemical detection has also been developed for subsequent quantification of morphine. Extraction involves the disruption of brain tissue or plasma in methanol, centrifugation, evaporation and reconstitution in ethyl acetate containing 10 mM di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, a liquid cation-exchanger, and back-extraction into 170 mM orthophosphoric acid. An acidic eluent consisting of acetonitrile—76 mM orthophosphoric acid—ammonia buffer (pH 3.0) (15:85, v/v) in combination with a strong cation-exchange column allows complete separation of morphine and the internal standard, nalbuphine. The limit of detection for morphine is 1.3 ng on-column. 相似文献

A sensitive staining procedure for glucose oxidase (GOD) as marker in immunohistology is described. The cytochemical procedure involves a two-step enzyme method in which GOD and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are coimmobilized onto the same cellular sites by immunological bridging or by the principle of avidin-biotin interaction. In this coupled enzyme technique, H2O2 generated during GOD reaction is the substrate for HRP and is utilized for the oxidation of chromogens such as 3,3'-diaminobenzidine or 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole. Due to the immobilization of the capture enzyme HRP in close proximity to the marker enzyme (GOD), more intense and specific staining is produced than can be obtained with soluble HRP as coupling enzyme in the substrate medium. Indirect antibody labelled and antibody bridge techniques including the avidin (streptavidin)-biotin principle have proven the usefulness of this GOD labelling procedure for antigen localization in paraffin sections. Antigens such as IgA in tonsil, alpha-fetoprotein in liver and tissue polypeptide antigen in mammary gland served as models. The immobilized two-step enzyme procedures have the same order of sensitivity and specificity as comparable immunoperoxidase methods. The coupled GOD-HRP principle can be superior to conventional immunoperoxidase labelling for the localization of biomolecules in tissue preparations rich in endogenous peroxidase activities. 相似文献

On the loss of gangliosides by dialysis 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3
The Gangliosides represent a family of sialic acidcontaining sphingoglycolipids which have ceramide (N-acyl-sphingosine) as the basic hydrophobic portion (Svennerholm , 1972). A heteropolysaccharide is glycosidically linked through the primary hydroxyl group of ceramide and the aldehyde of glucose. There are usually three or four different carbohydrates and up to a total of seven in the chain. The isolated gangliosides are soluble both in organic and aqueous solvents presumably because of their content of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. The most commonly employed extraction procedure is based upon their solubility in chloroform-methanol (2: 1, v/v) and subsequent partitioning into an aqueous methanol phase (FOLCH, LEES and SLOANE-STANLEY, 1957). This methanolic solution is then dialysed against water to remove small molecular-weight contaminants. This paper reports the loss of gangliosides upon dialysis when they are present at low concentrations. Gangliosides were prepared from fresh calf brain as previously described (Kanfer , 1969) and contained 25-25% GMl, as judged by quantitative thin-layer chromatography (Suzuki , 1964). GM2 was prepared from this material by treatment with neuraminidase as previously described (Kolodny , Brady , Quirk and Kanfer , 1970) and purified by the procedure of Winterbourne (1971). GM2 was isolated from brain tissue of a Tay-Sachs child provided by Dr. B. Volk. Thin-layer chromatography was carried out on Analtech Silica Gel G plates (Analtech Co., Wilmington, Del.) with chloroformmethanol-2.5 N NH4OH (60 : 30 : 8, by vol.) as developing solvent. Total sialic acid was quantified by the resorcinol procedure according to Suzuki (1964). Duplicate known quantities of gangliosides were dissolved in 2 ml of methanol 41 M KCI(1 : 1, v/v) and dialysed overnight in untreated Visking tubing (0.22-in. dia.; Fisher Scientific Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.; Cat. No. 1000) against a 500-fold vol. of distilled water at 4°C. The contents of the sacs were removed and the total volume was measured; a 10-1 5 per cent increase in volume was usually observed. Portions were analysed in duplicate for total sialic acid content, and the remainder was lyophilized for examination by TLC. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of arsanilic acid, roxarsone, nitarsone, and carbarsone in the feeds of swine and chicken. Feed samples were extracted with methanol/1% acetic acid (90:10, v/v) in an ultrasonic bath and the protein was precipitated with 2% Cu(2)SO(4). The samples were further purified by solid phase extraction (SPE) on SAX cartridges. Separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-Aq C18 HPLC column using an isocratic procedure with methanol and 1% acetic acid (3:97, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.7 mL min(-1), and the UV detector was set at a wavelength of 260 nm. The recoveries of organoarsenic compounds spiked at levels of 2, 20 and 200 μg g(-1) ranged from 81.2% to 91.3%; the inter-day relative standard deviation values were less than 7.0%. The limits of quantification for four organoarsenic compounds were 1.0-2.0 μg g(-1). This simple and fast method could be applied to the determination of multi-residues of organic arsenic compounds in animal feeds. 相似文献

A procedure for the purification of ferritin from human liver by heating a methanol-treated homogenate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A simple, rapid technique for purification of ferritin from human liver tissue is described. Methanol, at a final concentration of 40% (v/v) in liver homogenate, precipitates the majority of proteins but does not affect ferritin. Subsequent heating of this homogenate at 75 degrees C for 10 min results in a purified ferritin preparation as judged by immunoelectrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The resultant purified ferritin contained the same amount of iron as the original endogenous ferritin. There were no significant differences (paired t tests) in the amount of protein in the purified ferritin preparation when measured by rocket immunoelectrophoresis and by the Lowry procedure, suggesting that the antigenecity of ferritin was unaffected by the methanol and heat treatment. Both endogenous liver ferritin and radiolabeled human liver ferritin added to liver homogenates were recovered after methanol and heat treatment with similar yields (77 +/- 7% and 70 +/- 2%, respectively) when compared with the standard treatment of heating a homogenate at 75 degrees C. The overall ferritin yield with this rapid procedure was 40%. 相似文献

Separation of [1-3H]cellooligosaccharides by thin-layer chromatography: assay for cellulolytic enzymes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A thin-layer chromatographic method for the separation with high resolution of [1-3H]cellooligosaccharides on silica gel plates has been developed. Reducing end-labeled glucose through cellohexaose were separated on silica gel plates with three ascents of ethyl acetate:water: methanol (40:15:20; v:v) and each was extracted with an efficiency of 88 +/- 3%. Separations of cellooligosaccharides using other adsorbents, solvents, and impregnants are also described. This thin-layer chromatographic method facilitated analysis of the activity of cellulolytic enzymes. 相似文献

A convenient method using commercial aqueous concentrated HCl (conc. HCl; 35%, w/w) as an acid catalyst was developed for preparation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from sterol esters, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and FFAs for gas-liquid chromatography (GC). An 8% (w/v) solution of HCl in methanol/water (85:15, v/v) was prepared by diluting 9.7 ml of conc. HCl with 41.5 ml of methanol. Toluene (0.2 ml), methanol (1.5 ml), and the 8% HCl solution (0.3 ml) were added sequentially to the lipid sample. The final HCl concentration was 1.2% (w/v). This solution (2 ml) was incubated at 45°C overnight or heated at 100°C for 1–1.5 h. The amount of FFA formed in the presence of water derived from conc. HCl was estimated to be <1.4%. The yields of FAMEs were >96% for the above lipid classes and were the same as or better than those obtained by saponification/methylation or by acid-catalyzed methanolysis/methylation using commercial anhydrous HCl/methanol. The method developed here could be successfully applied to fatty acid analysis of various lipid samples, including fish oils, vegetable oils, and blood lipids by GC. 相似文献

A dual staining method for different human lymphocyte subpopulations with nonoverlapping antigen distribution patterns is described. Cytocentrifuge slide preparations of peripheral blood nonadherant mononuclear cells (NAMNC), bone marrow aspirate or buffy coat smears were fixed in acetone and incubated with a primary mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb) against a lymphocyte antigen (CD8, Ig-light-chain, CD19, CD4) followed by rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin (Ig) and the alkaline phosphatase monoclonal anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) complex. After repeating the “bridge” antibody and the APAAP, a red product was developed with fast red TR-naphthol AS-BI phosphate. Following this one-color stain the process was repeated using a different primary mouse MAb against another lymphocyte antigen (CD4, Ig-light chain, CDS, MHCU DR, CD5) and fast blue BB-naphthol AS-MX phosphate at the last step to yield a blue product. Control slides stained by the standard one-color APAAP method with die relevant primary MAb showed that there was no nonspecific labelling and the percent of positive cells in a given test was almost identical. To achieve an intense blue in the second stain for some antigens, e.g., CD4, either the MAb concentration had to be increased or two different MAbs recognizing differing epitopes of the same antigen, e.g., T1 and UCHT2 for CD5, were applied. Any change of red to purple at the site of the first stain after 15 min exposure to the blue-yielding AP substrate is due to residual AP activity of the first stain rather than to crossbinding of immunoreagents. This rechnique allows sensitive two-color staining without being limited to the few antigens against which heteroantibodies are available. High nonspecific background staining due to endogenous enzyme activity, as inherent in peroxidase staining procedures, is overcome in this dual APAAP technique. 相似文献

Biodiesel production by in situ transesterification of municipal primary and secondary sludges 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The potential of using municipal wastewater sludges as a lipid feedstock for biodiesel production was investigated. Primary and secondary sludge samples obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Tuscaloosa, AL were freeze-dried and subjected to an acid-catalyzed insitu transesterification process. Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of temperature, sulfuric acid concentration, and mass ratio of methanol to sludge on the yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Results indicated a significant interactive effect between temperature, acid concentration, and methanol to sludge mass ratio on the FAME yield for the insitu transesterification of primary sludge, while the FAME yield for secondary sludge was significantly affected by the independent effects of the three factors investigated. The maximum FAME yields were obtained at 75 degrees C, 5% (v/v) H(2)SO(4), and 12:1 methanol to sludge mass ratio and were 14.5% and 2.5% for primary and secondary sludge, respectively. Gas chromatography (GC) analysis of the FAMEs revealed a similar fatty acid composition for both primary and secondary sludge. An economic analysis estimated the cost of $3.23/gallon for a neat biodiesel obtained from this process at an assumed yield of 10% FAMEs/dry weight of sludge. 相似文献

An analytical method was developed for the anticancer agent irinotecan (CPT-11) and its main metabolite SN-38 in human whole blood and in red blood cells (RBCs). Sample pretreatment involved deproteinization of whole blood or plasma-diluted RBCs isolated by MESED instruments, with a mixture of aqueous perchloric acid and methanol (1:1, v/v). Separation was carried out using isocratic elution on a Hypersil ODS stationary phase, with detection at excitation and emission wavelengths of 355 and 515 nm, respectively. The lower limit of quantitation (LLQ) in blood was established at 5.00 ng/ml for both compounds, with values for within-run precision (WRP) and between-run precision (BRP) of less than 10%. The method is currently being applied to investigate the blood distribution of CPT-11 and SN-38 in cancer patients. 相似文献

Measurement of choline and choline metabolite concentrations using high-pressure liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have developed a reproducible and sensitive procedure for the isolation and measurement of choline, phosphocholine, glycerophosphocholine, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine in a single 100-mg sample of biological tissue. Tissues were spiked with 14C-methyl- and 2H-methyl- or 15N-choline labeled internal standards for each compound. They were extracted with chloroform/methanol/water and the aqueous and organic phases were dried. The organic phase was resuspended in chloroform/methanol (1/1, v/v) and an aliquot was applied to a silica-gel thin-layer chromatography plate. The plate was developed in chloroform/methanol/water (65/30/4, v/v). Segments which cochromatographed with external standards of phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine were stained, scraped, and hydrolyzed in 6 M methanolic-HCl at 80 degrees C for 60 min, liberating free choline. The aqueous phase was resuspended in methanol/water and injected onto a silica HPLC column. Choline and its metabolites were eluted using a binary nonlinear gradient of acetonitrile/ethanol/acetic acid/1 M ammonium acetate/water/0.1 M sodium phosphate (800/68/2/3/127/10, v/v changing to 400/68/44/88/400/10, v/v). Peaks were detected with an on-line radiometric detector, collected, and dried under vacuum. Each choline ester was digested in 6 M HCl at 80 degrees C to form choline. Choline was then converted to the propionyl ester and demethylated with sodium benzenethiolate. This volatile derivative was then isolated using gas chromatography and measured with a mass selective detector. Deuterated internal standards were used to correct for variations in recovery. Choline, glycerophosphocholine, phosphocholine, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, and acetylcholine were measured in rat liver, heart, muscle, kidney, plasma, red blood cells, and brain and in human plasma.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method utilizing ultraviolet (UV) detection was developed for the determination of inosine and hypoxanthine in human plasma. For component separation, a monolithic C(18) column at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with an aqueous mobile phase of trifluoroacetic acid (0.1% TFA in deionized water pH 2.2, v/v) and methanol gradient was used. The method employed a one-step sample preparation utilizing centrifugal filtration with high component recoveries (approximately 98%) from plasma, which eliminated the need of an internal standard. The method demonstrated excellent linearity (0.25-5 microg/mL, R>0.9990) for both inosine and hypoxanthine with detection limits of 100 ng/mL. This simple and cost effective method was utilized to evaluate potential endogenous plasma biomarker(s), which may aid hospital emergency personnel in the early detection of acute cardiac ischemia in patients presenting with non-traumatic chest pain. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and specific method for analysis of mefenamic acid (I) in serum by a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography is described. Only 70 microl of serum and a little sample work-up is required. A simple procedure of extraction by dichloromethane followed by evaporation to dryness under gentle stream of nitrogen and dissolving the dried residue in mobile phase was used. The mefenamic acid peak was separated from endogenous peaks on a C(8) column by a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (50:50, v/v, pH 3). Mefenamic acid and internal standard (IS) (diclofenac) were eluted at 7.4 and 5.4 min, respectively. The limit of quantitation of mefenamic acid in serum was 25 ng/ml at 280 nm. The method was linear over the range of 25-2000 ng/ml with r(2) of 0.998. Mean recovery for mefenamic acid was 110%. 相似文献

The peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique was evaluated as a method for detecting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K99 pilus antigen in paraffin-embedded tissues of swine. Antigenic reactivity was optimal when tissues were processed in cold methanol according to a modified method of Sainte-Marie. This method of processing adequately preserved tissue morphology. The PAP technique was applicable to tissues where endogenous peroxidase activity was minimal. 相似文献

Determination of heroin and its metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Jason G. Umans Thomas S.K. Chiu Robert A. Lipman Michael F. Schultz Seung-Uon Shin Charles E. Inturrisi 《Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences》1982,233(1):213-225
A method is described for the simultaneous determination of heroin (3, 6-diacetylmorphine, DAM) and its two active metabolites 6-acetylmorphine and morphine in blood by high-performance liquid chromatography using a normal-phase column and a UV detector at 218 nm. The compounds are stabilized in blood by rapid freezing and recovered by a multistep liquid—liquid extraction. The mobile phase is acetonitrile—methanol (75:25, v/v) buffered to apparent pH 7 with ammonium hydroxide and acetic acid. Usingl--acetylmethadol as an internal standard, UV detection and a 1-ml biofluid sample, the lower limit of sensitivity is 12.5 ng/ml. Commonly used narcotic analgesics including codeine, propoxyphene, meperidine, methadone and levorphanol do not interfere with the analysis. The method has been applied to blood samples from humans and rats. Extracts of blood from a patient who had received an intravenous dose of 14 mg of DAM contained DAM and both of its active metabolites. 相似文献

Purification of methanol dehydrogenase from Methylophaga marina, in order to avoid the instability observed in crude extracts, was achieved initially by a rapid procedure using mainly an aqueous two-phase partition system composed of polyethylene glycol 1000 (50%, v/v) and potassium phosphate (50%, w/v). The purified enzyme gave a single band of protein after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Antiserum raised against purified methanol dehydrogenase was used to detect possible protein contaminants in the enzyme preparation. The enzyme is an NAD-independent dehydrogenase containing pyrrolquinoline quinone (PQQ) as a prosthetic group. It is made of two apparently identical subunits giving a total MW of 145,000 for the native enzyme. The isoelectric point is 6.4. In addition to methanol and formaldehyde, multicarbon primary alcohols and aldehydes as well as secondary alcohols can be used as substrates. Except for ammonium chloride, which is a necessary activator in vitro, no effector was found which could modify the rate of enzyme activity under standard conditions of the assay. Although the main properties of this methanol dehydrogenase are similar to those already described in the literature, it does not belong in any of the five categories described by Anthony. 相似文献

A rugged and robust liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method utilizing dried blood spots (DBS) was developed and validated for the analysis of posaconazole in human whole blood. Posaconazole fortified blood samples were spotted (15 μL) onto Ahlstrom Alh-226 DBS cards and dried for at least 2h. Punched spots were then extracted by using a mixture of acetonitrile and water containing stable labeled internal standard (IS). Posaconazole and its IS were separated from endogenous matrix components on a Kinetex? C18 column under gradient conditions with a mobile phase A consisting of 0.1% formic acid and a mobile phase B consisting of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile/methanol (70/30, v/v). The analyte and IS were detected using a Sciex API 4000 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS system equipped with a TurboIonSpray? source operated in the positive ion mode. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 5-5000 ng/mL. The inter-run accuracy and precision of the assay were -1.8% to 0.8% and 4.0% to 10.4%, respectively. Additional assessments unique to DBS were investigated including sample spot homogeneity, spot volume, and hematocrit. Blood spot homogeneity was maintained and accurate and precise quantitation results were obtained when using a blood spot volume of between 15 and 35 μL. Human blood samples with hematocrit values ranging between 25% and 41% gave acceptable quantitation results. The validation results indicate that the method is accurate, precise, sensitive, selective and reproducible. 相似文献
