In a simplified approach to the reaction kinetics of enzyme-linked immunoassays, a Langmuir-type equation y = [ax/(b + x)] + c was derived. This model proved to be superior to logit-log and semilog models in the curve-fitting of standard curves. An assay for alpha-fetoprotein developed in our laboratory with a sensitivity of 2 g/liter and a between-day coefficient of variation of about 15% was used for comparison of the different models. The proposed model has the advantage that it is based on the law of mass action and that blank determinations can be included in the calculation of the curves without giving a disproportionate bias. 相似文献

Effect of sublethal concentrations of four chemicals on susceptibility of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to saprolegniosis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of sublethal concentrations of a variety of chemicals on the susceptibility of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles to Saprolegnia parasitica infection was examined. Sublethal concentrations of un-ionized ammonia (0.05 mg/liter) and nitrite (0.12 mg/liter) increased fish susceptibility after 10 days of exposure to the toxin, this increase being higher for ammonia (75% and 20% morbidity) than for nitrite (20% and 0% morbidity, respectively) with inoculum doses of 1.4 x 10(6) and 9.5 x 10(5) zoospores per liter, respectively. Sublethal concentrations of copper (0.05 mg/liter) or cyanide (0.05 mg/liter) did not show enhancement of infection by S. parasitica, even though the toxin exposure was for 21 days and the inoculum doses were higher than those for the experiments with the nitrogen compounds (4 x 10(6) and 3.2 x 10(6) zoospores per liter. However, infections began to appear in control animals. 相似文献

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) inactivation experiments were conducted with adenovirus type 40 (AD40) and feline calicivirus (FCV). Experiments were carried out in buffered, disinfectant demand-free water under high- and low-pH and -temperature conditions. Ct values (the concentration of ClO2 multiplied by contact time with the virus) were calculated directly from bench-scale experiments and from application of the efficiency factor Hom (EFH) model. AD40 Ct ranges for 4-log inactivation (Ct99.99%) at 5 degrees C were >0.77 to <1.53 mg/liter x min and >0.80 to <1.59 mg/liter x min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. For 15 degrees C AD40 experiments, >0.49 to <0.74 mg/liter x min and <0.12 mg/liter x min Ct99.99% ranges were observed for pH 6 and 8, respectively. FCV Ct99.99% ranges for 5 degrees C experiments were >20.20 to <30.30 mg/liter x min and >0.68 mg/liter x min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. For 15 degrees C FCV experiments, Ct99.99% ranges were >4.20 to <6.72 and <0.18 mg/liter x min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. Viral inactivation was higher at pH 8 than at pH 6 and at 15 degrees C than at 5 degrees C. Comparison of Ct values and inactivation curves demonstrated that the EFH model described bench-scale experiment data very well. Observed bench-scale Ct99.99% ranges and EFH model Ct99.99% values demonstrated that FCV is more resistant to ClO2 than AD40 for the conditions studied. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance manual Ct99.99% values are higher than Ct99.99% values calculated from bench-scale experiments and from EFH model application. 相似文献

Several recent outbreaks of toxoplasmosis were related to drinking water. We propose a strategy for Toxoplasma oocyst detection as part of an approach to detecting multiple waterborne parasites, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium spp., by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency method with the same sample. Water samples are filtered to recover Toxoplasma oocysts and purified on a sucrose density gradient. Detection is based on PCR and mouse inoculation (bioassay) to determine the presence and infectivity of recovered oocysts. In an experimental seeding assay with 100 liters of deionized water, a parasite density of 1 oocyst/liter was successfully detected by PCR in 60% of cases and a density of 10 oocysts/liter was detected in 100% of cases. The sensitivity of the PCR assay varied from less than 10 to more than 1000 oocysts/liter, depending on the sample source. PCR was always more sensitive than mouse inoculation. This detection strategy was then applied to 139 environmental water samples collected over a 20-month period. Fifty-three samples contained PCR inhibitors, which were overcome in 39 cases by bovine serum albumin addition. Among 125 interpretable samples, we detected Toxoplasma DNA in 10 cases (8%). None of the samples were positive by mouse inoculation. This strategy efficiently detects Toxoplasma oocysts in water and may be suitable as a public health sentinel method. 相似文献

A fluorometric determination of urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids using a reaction of benzamidine with compounds carrying the dihydroxyacetone side chain is described. The fluorescent compounds have excitation and emission maxima at 370 and 480 nm, respectively. The method includes enzymatic hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31, from Escherichia coli) and extraction with methylene chloride and generation of fluorescence in alkaline solution (pH 13.4). The specificity of the reaction was examined and the results were compared with those of an accepted method based on the Porter-Silber reaction (C. C. Porter and R. H. Silber, 1950, J. Biol. Chem. 185, 201-207). The coefficient of correlation was 0.945 with regression line of y = 0.91x + 0.7 mg/day (y, present method; x, Porter-Silber reaction method). Sensitivity of the reaction was 0.5 microgram/ml of standard or sample, mean recovery of cortisol added to five urine samples (5-micrograms addition) was 95%, and the coefficient of variation of the method (five repeated assays of sample with a value of 5.2 mg/liter) was 6.2%. 相似文献

A ferritin receptor has been detected on isolated rat hepatocytes and has been partially purified from rat liver using affinity chromatography. Isolated hepatocytes exhibit approximately 30,000 ferritin binding sites/cell with a binding association constant (Ka) of 1 x 10(8) mol-1 liter. A binding assay has been developed which utilizes a hepatic ferritin receptor coupled to a microparticulate support to facilitate separation of bound and free ligand. This method yielded a Ka of 3 x 10(8) mol-1 liter for the purified hepatic ferritin receptor. Binding of ferritin to the insolubilized receptor was partially inhibited by human lactoferrin but unaffected by 200-fold molar excess of bovine albumin, rat transferrin, or human asialoorosomucoid. 相似文献

The detection and identification of pathogens from water samples remain challenging due to variations in recovery rates and the cost of procedures. Ultrafiltration offers the possibility to concentrate viral, bacterial, and protozoan organisms in a single process by using size-exclusion-based filtration. In this study, two hollow-fiber ultrafilters with 50,000-molecular-weight cutoffs were evaluated to concentrate microorganisms from 2- and 10-liter water samples. When known quantities (10(5) to 10(6) CFU/liter) of two species of enteric bacteria were introduced and concentrated from 2 liters of sterile water, the addition of 0.1% Tween 80 increased Escherichia coli strain K-12 recoveries from 70 to 84% and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis recoveries from 36 to 72%. An E. coli antibiotic-resistant strain, XL1-Blue, was recovered at a level (87%) similar to that for strain K-12 (96%) from 10 liters of sterile water. When E. coli XL1-Blue was introduced into 10 liters of nonsterile Rio Grande water with higher turbidity levels (23 to 29 nephelometric turbidity units) at two inoculum levels (9 x 10(5) and 2.4 x 10(3) per liter), the recovery efficiencies were 89 and 92%, respectively. The simultaneous addition of E. coli XL1-Blue (9 x 10(5) CFU/liter), Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts (10 oocysts/liter), phage T1 (10(5) PFU/liter), and phage PP7 (10(5) PFU/liter) to 10 liters of Rio Grande surface water resulted in mean recoveries of 96, 54, 59, and 46%, respectively. Using a variety of surface waters from around the United States, we obtained recovery efficiencies for bacteria and viruses that were similar to those observed with the Rio Grande samples, but recovery of Cryptosporidium oocysts was decreased, averaging 32% (the site of collection of these samples had previously been identified as problematic for oocyst recovery). Results indicate that the use of ultrafiltration for simultaneous recovery of bacterial, viral, and protozoan pathogens from variable surface waters is ready for field deployment. 相似文献

The effects of toxic exposures on the susceptibility of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to saprolegniosis were evaluated. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations of copper (0.25 mg/liter), cyanide (0.07 mg/liter), ammonia (0.5 mg/liter), and nitrite (0.24 mg/liter) for 24 h. After exposure, the fish were challenged by Saprolegnia parasitica (3.6 x 10(sup6) zoospores per liter) for 10 min. Cortisol and cholesterol were used to indicate stress response. Similar increases of cortisol were found for the four tested chemicals. All fish with cortisol levels higher than 370 ng/ml developed the disease, while only 24% of the fish with cortisol levels lower than 370 ng/ml were infected. Cholesterol levels remained unchanged after toxic exposure. Increased susceptibilities to the pathogen were observed for ammonia (71%), copper (57%), nitrite (50%), and cyanide (33%). The increases in susceptibility as a result of cyanide and nitrite exposure could be explained by the stress response. For copper and ammonia, the combination of two different effects, the stress response and specific impairments of the defense mechanism of trout against saprolegniosis, should be considered. 相似文献

Group C rotaviruses have been recognized as a cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans, cattle, and swine, although the true epidemiologic and clinical importance of this virus in these hosts has not yet been fully established. A real-time PCR assay based on a broadly reactive primer pair was developed and used to quantitatively determine the viral load of group C rotaviruses in environmental samples. A total of 35 raw and 35 treated sewage samples collected at the same sampling time in four Hungarian sewage treatment plants during a survey in 2005 were tested for the presence of group C rotaviruses. The overall detection rates were 91% (32 of 35) for the influent and 57% (20 of 35) for the effluent samples. Molecular characterization of the amplified partial VP6 gene revealed the cocirculation of human and animal (i.e., bovine and porcine) strains that were easily distinguishable by melting curve analysis. Human strains yielded relatively high viral loads (mean, 1.2 x 10(7); median, 6.9 x 10(5) genome equivalents per liter influent sewage) and appeared to display seasonal activity over the study period, whereas animal strains appeared to circulate throughout the year at much lower average titers (bovine strains mean, 9.9 x 10(4); median, 3.0 x 10(4); porcine strains mean, 3.9 x 10(4); median, 3.1 x 10(4) genome equivalents per liter influent sewage). Our findings suggest that monitoring of communal sewage may provide a good surrogate for investigating the epidemiology and ecology of group C rotaviruses in humans and animals. 相似文献

A genetically engineered fusion toxin targeted to acute myeloid leukemic (AML) blasts was designed with the first 388 amino acid residues of diphtheria toxin with an H-M linker fused to human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The cDNA was subcloned in the pRK bacterial expression plasmid and used to transform BL21 (DE3) Escherichia coli harboring pUBS500 plasmid. Transformants were grown in Superbroth and induced with IPTG. Inclusion bodies were isolated, washed, and denatured in guanidine hydrochloride with dithioerythritol. Recombinant protein was refolded by diluting 100-fold in cold buffer with arginine and oxidized glutathione. After dialysis, purified protein was obtained after anion-exchange, size exclusion on FPLC, and polymixin B affinity chromatography. The final material was filter sterilized, aseptically vialed, and stored at -80 degrees C. Fifty-four 3-liter bacterial culture preparations were made and pooled into 27 batches. The final product was characterized by Coomassie Plus protein assay, Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE, limulus amebocyte lysate endotoxin assay, human AML HL60 cell cytotoxicity assay, HPLC TSK3000, N-terminal sequencing, E. coli DNA contamination, C57BL6 mouse toxicity, and immunohistochemistry. Yields were 23 mg/liter bacterial culture of denatured fusion toxin. After refolding and chromatography, final yields were 24 +/- 4% or 5 mg/liter. Vialed product was sterile and 1.7 +/- 0.4 mg/ml in PBS. Purity by SDS-PAGE was 99 +/- 1%. Aggregates by HPLC were <1%. Potency revealed a 24-h IC50 of 2.7 +/- 0.5 pM on HL60 cells. Endotoxin levels were 1 eu/mg. The N-terminal sequence was confirmed, and E. coli DNA was <113 pg/mg. The LD10 in mice was 110 microg/kg/day x5. There was no evidence of loss of solubility, proteolysis, aggregation, or loss of potency over 3 months at -80 and -20 degrees C. Further, the drug was stable at 4, 25, and 37 degrees C in human serum for 48 h. Drug reacted only with human monocytes, granulocytes, and myeloid precursors in frozen human tissue sections by immunohistochemistry. The synthesis of this protein drug should be useful for production for clinical phase I/II clinical trials and may be suitable for other diphtheria fusion toxins indicated for clinical development. This is the first report of the scaleup of a recombinant fusion toxin for clinical trials. 相似文献

Bacteriophage T7 was grown with Escherichia coli B as the host organism in 3- and 20-liter vessels. Under the best growth conditions devised, the yields of T7 in the culture lysates averaged 1.33 x 10(12) and 0.95 x 10(12) plaque-forming units per ml, respectively, compared with the best previously reported yields of 10(11) to 3 x 10(11) plaque-forming units per ml in 1-liter batches grown in the presence of air, or double this in similar batches grown in the presence of oxygen. The bacteriophage was purified by a simple method which gave average yields of 143 mg/liter and 131 mg/liter from the 3- and 20-liter batches, respectively. The efficiency of plating of the final material ranged from 18 to 42%. The purified bacteriophage is a convenient source of monodisperse deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecular weight of which is about 25 x 10(6). 相似文献

Glucose determination in samples taken by microdialysis by peroxidase-catalyzed luminol chemiluminescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An automatic, luminometric assay of glucose in samples of the extracellular water space obtained by microdialysis is described. The assay involves oxidation by glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4) and mutarotation of glucose by aldose mutarotase (EC 5.1.3.3.). The H2O2 formed is subsequently determined in a reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) using luminol as electron donor. The assay is linear between 0.01 and 1 nmol in the cuvette. The detection limit, defined as 3 standard deviations of the reagent blank, was 0.008 mumol/liter in the cuvette. A complete oxidation of glucose is obtained within 4 min and 25 samples are automatically assayed within 75 min. Addition of microdialysate sample obtained from human adipose tissue in vivo did not interfere with the standard curves. Glucose added to microdialysate resulted in a complete recovery compared to a H2O2 standard. Analytical interference from different factors was investigated. No interference was observed up to the following concentrations: 5 mumol/liter epinephrine, 1 mumol/liter norepinephrine, 100 mumol/liter insulin, 500 mumol/liter pyruvate, 50 mmol/liter lactate, and 1 mumol/liter ascorbate. The glucose values with the present method correlated strongly (r = 0.984) with values obtained using a routine method involving glucose oxidase and peroxidase. 相似文献

Red cells from high K sheep contained 82 mM K/liter cells and had a pump flux of 0.86 mM K/liter cells x hr; similarly, LK cells had 16.5 mM K/liter cells and a pump flux of 0.12 mM K/liter cells x hr. Using [3H]-ouabain, the relation between the number of ouabain molecules bound per cell and the concomitant per cent inhibition of the pump was found to be approximately linear for both HK and LK cells. The number of glycoside molecules necessary for 100 % inhibition of the pump was 42 for HK cells and 7.6 for LK cells, after correction for six nonspecific binding sites for each type of cell. The ratio of ouabain molecules/cell at 100 % inhibition was 5.5, HK to LK, and the ratio of the normal K pump fluxes was 7.2, HK to LK. The similarity of these ratios suggests that an important difference between HK and LK cells, determining the difference in pump fluxes, is the number of pump sites. The turnover times (ions/site x min) are 6000 and 4800 for HK and LK cells, respectively. The results also indicate a high specificity of binding of ouabain to pump sites. 相似文献

An immunoassay for thromboxane B2 was developed in which the hapten molecule was labeled with beta-galactosidase. The immunoprecipitate formed after competition between enzyme-labeled and unlabeled thromboxane B2 was subjected to a fluorometric assay of beta-galactosidase. Thromboxane B2 was detectable in the range of 0.1-30 pmol. Both enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunoassay showed essentially the same cross-reactivities with other prostaglandins and their metabolites when the same antibody was used. Known amounts of thromboxane B2 were added to human plasma, and the sample was applied to an octadecyl silica column. The extract was analyzed by enzyme immunoassay to examine the correlation between the added (x) and measured (y) thromboxane B2 (y = 1.09x + 11.07 pmol/ml, r = 0.99). A satisfactory correlation was observed between radioimmunoassay (x) and enzyme immunoassay (y) (y = 0.92x + 4.64 pmol/ml, r = 0.96). The validity of enzyme immunoassay was also confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of a dimethylisopropylsilyl ether derivative of thromboxane B2 methyl ester. The method was applicable to the assay of thromboxane B2 produced from endogenous precursor during thrombin-induced aggregation of human platelets. 相似文献

A simple colorimetric method to screen drug cytotoxicity against Leishmania using the dye Alamar Blue 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A quantitative colorimetric assay using the oxidation-reduction indicator Alamar Blue was developed to measure cytotoxicity of compounds against the protozoan parasite Leishmania. Absorbance increased linearly with the plating density of promastigotes of L. major MRHO/IR/76 vaccine strain up to at least 2.5 x 10(6) cells/ml when parasites were incubated for 72 h in the presence of 10% Alamar Blue. The 50% effective dose values of common drugs (amphotericin B, pentostam and paromomycin) obtained by this assay were in the same range as previously determined by other methods. The Alamar Blue assay permits a simple, reproducible and reliable method for screening antileishmanial drugs. 相似文献

Tetrahymena pyriformis MT1 (TpyMT1) is a model among ciliate metallothioneins (MTs). Here, we report on the analytic (ICP-AES, GC-FPD), spectroscopic (CD, UV-Vis, Raman) and spectrometric (ESI-MS) characterization of its recombinant Cd(II)-, Zn(II)- and Cu(I)-complexes, and of those formed during in vitro Zn/Cd and Zn/Cu replacement. In the presence of Cd(II), TpyMT1 renders a major Cd 11-TpyMT1 species, which is also the final step reached in the in vitro Zn/Cd exchange process in Zn 11-TpyMT1. Spectroscopic data supports a different folding of the isostoichiometric Cd 11- and Zn 11-TpyMT1 complexes. Unexpectedly, TpyMT1 biosynthesis in Zn(II)-rich cultures was sensitive to the aeration degree, so that high oxygenation rendered undermetalated, partially-oxidized, complexes (Zn9-TpyMT1). Biosynthesis in Cu(I)-rich media rendered extremely heterogeneous mixtures of CuxZny-species (x+y=8-20), where the higher the aeration, the higher the Zn(II) content. The complexity of these samples was reproduced during the Zn/Cu replacement, as the number of generated species increased gradually with the addition of copper to Zn(11)-TpyMT1. According to our results, a clear preference of TpyMT1 for Cd(II) binding, rather than for Zn(II), and especially Cu(I) can be postulated. This character is totally consistent with the induction pattern of the TpyMT1 gene and the postulated role of TpyMT1 in Cd-detoxification. 相似文献

The effects of temperature, initial pH, and the concentrations of ammonium, phosphate, and heavy metals on the oxidation of thiosalts by an authentic strain of Thiobacillus thiooxidans (ATCC 8085) and by a mixed culture isolated from a base metal-processing mill effluent pond were studied. The optimum temperature was 30°C and the optimum initial pH was 3.75 for both cultures using thiosulfate and for the mixed culture using tetrathionate. T. thiooxidans ATCC 8085 did not oxidize tetrathionate. For a thiosalt concentration of 2,000 ppm (2,000 mg/liter), maximal rates of destruction occurred at concentrations of ammonium ion above 2 mg/liter and in the presence of 1 mg of phosphate per liter. Under optimal conditions, the rate of thiosulfate oxidation by the pure culture was 55 ± 3 mg/liter per h; the mixed culture oxidized thiosulfate at the rate of 40 ± 1 mg/liter per h and tetrathionate at the rate of 50 ± 2 mg/liter per h. Metal ions caused normal inhibition kinetics in the oxidation of thiosulfate by T. thiooxidans ATCC 8085. Ki values were calculated for cadmium (16 mg/liter), copper (0.46 mg/liter), lead (2 mg/liter), silver (3.1 mg/liter), and zinc (33 mg/liter). Only a slight additive effect was apparent in the presence of all of these metal ions. The mixed culture of thiosalt-oxidizing bacteria was less sensitive to heavy metal inhibition; the order of inhibition of thiosulfate oxidation was Cd < Zn < Pb < Ag < Cu, and that of tetrathionate oxidation was Zn < Cd < Pb < Ag < Cu. 相似文献
