Thirty-three standard mycotoxins were assayed by thin-layer chromatography and by cytotoxicity in HEp-2 and Chang cells. Various levels of detection were found. The cytotoxicity test was significantly more sensitive than thin-layer chromatography for the trichothecenes and should be useful for screening extracts from animal feedstuffs for the presence of unknown mycotoxins.  相似文献

A high-performance thin-layer chromatographic procedure has been developed for the determination of ranitidine, a H2-receptor antagonist, in plasma. The detection and quantification were performed without using internal standards. A single-stage extraction procedure was followed for extracting ranitidine from plasma, and a known amount of the extract was spotted on precoated silica gel F254 plates. Ranitidine was quantified using a Shimadzu CS930 dual-wavelength TLC scanner. The method provides a direct estimate of total ranitidine present in the plasma.  相似文献

Abstract Free lipids were extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and their antigenicity was assessed directly on thin-layer chromatograms (TLC) by an immunostaining technique. A family of glycolipids, composed of trehalose acylated with multimethyl branched long-chain fatty acids, was investigated. The most polar of these glycolipids was identified as a possible specific surface antigen. A pair of novel polar glycolipids also showed positive antigenic reactions.  相似文献

分枝菌酸(mycolic acid, MA)是存在于分枝杆菌细胞壁中的独特长链脂肪酸,与分枝杆菌(mycobacterium)抵御不利环境、耐受抗生素和逃避宿主免疫密切相关,是较热门的抗结核药物筛选的靶点。MA的检测方法主要有放射性薄层层析(thin-layer chromatography, TLC)和液相色谱-质谱(liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer, LC-MS),受放射性元素使用资质和标准品等的限制,MA分析是分枝杆菌相关研究的一个难点。本研究采用一种普通薄层层析技术,并对使用四丁基氢氧化铵溶液水解酯化的分枝菌酸,将其甲酯化后再用无水乙醚萃取分枝菌酸甲酯的操作步骤进行改良,使分枝杆菌的MA提取及分析可在常规生物实验室中开展。研究通过比较不同分枝杆菌及不同生长时期的MA成分与亚型特征、检测靶向分枝菌酸合成通路的抗结核药物对细菌MA合成影响以及分枝杆菌突变株对结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mtb) H37Ra分枝菌酸合成影响等基础和应用研究的3个方面,进一步验证该方法在分枝杆菌MA分析中的实用性。结果表明该方法在不使用放射性元素和缺少标准品情况下可简便快速地分析MA及亚型特征,可广泛用于新型抗分枝杆菌药物筛选靶向分枝菌酸合成通路机制及基础研究中MA相关的分析和应用。  相似文献

A rapid immunochromatographic method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of protein antigens is described. The method is based on the "sandwich" assay format using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) of two distinct specificities. Mabs of one specificity are covalently immobilized to a defined detection zone on a porous membrane while Mabs of the other specificity are covalently coupled to blue latex particles which serve as a label. The sample is mixed with the Mab-coated particles and allowed to react. The mixture is then passed along a porous membrane by capillary action past the Mabs in the detection zone, which will bind the particles which have antigen bound to their surface, giving a blue color within this detection zone with an intensity logarithmetrically proportional to the antigen concentration in the sample. Analysis is complete in less than 10 min, requires a minimum amount of sample (4 microliters), and has a detection limit below the nanomolar range for the antigen we studied, human chorionic gonadotropin.  相似文献

A sensitive and facile assay for heme oxygenase (HO) has been developed. The basis of the assay is the detection of [14C]bilirubin formation in a coupled enzyme assay involving HO and biliverdin reductase actions, respectively. Separation of substrate from product is accomplished by thin-layer chromatography with subsequent quantitation by liquid scintillation counting of radioactive material present on chromatograms. As little as 20 micrograms of total cellular protein derived from cells growing in a standard 25-cm2 culture flask is sufficient for detection of HO enzyme activity using this assay. The reaction is inhibited by tin-protoporphyrin (10 microM final concentration), a specific inhibitor of HO. The linearity of the enzyme reaction with respect to incubation time and amount of protein used was established. Comparison of the new HO assay with a spectrophotometric assay was made, and good agreement of the results from both methods was found. The assay described here should facilitate measurements of this important heme-degrading enzyme in tissue culture studies and cases where limited amounts of material are available.  相似文献

The development of fast, inexpensive, and reliable tests to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is needed. Studies have indicated that the conventional identification procedures, including biochemical assays, are imprecise. This study evaluated a proposed alternative identification method in which 83 NTM isolates, previously identified by conventional biochemical testing and in-house M. avium IS1245-PCR amplification, were submitted to the following tests: thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of mycolic acids and PCR-restriction enzyme analysis of hsp65(PRA). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of mycolic acids and Southern blot analysis for M. avium IS1245 were performed on the strains that evidenced discrepancies on either of the above tests. Sixty-eight out of 83 (82%) isolates were concordantly identified by the presence of IS1245 and PRA and by TLC mycolic acid analysis. Discrepant results were found between the phenotypic and molecular tests in 12/83 (14.4%) isolates. Most of these strains were isolated from non-sterile body sites and were most probably colonizing in the host tissue. While TLC patterns suggested the presence of polymycobacterial infection in 3/83 (3.6%) cultures, this was the case in only one HPLC-tested culture and in none of those tested by PRA. The results of this study indicated that, as a phenotypic identification procedure, TLC mycolic acid determination could be considered a relatively simple and cost-effective method for routine screening of NTM isolates in mycobacteriology laboratory practice with a potential for use in developing countries. Further positive evidence was that this method demonstrated general agreement on MAC and M. simiae identification, including in the mixed cultures that predominated in the isolates of the disseminated infections in the AIDS patients under study. In view of the fact that the same treatment regimen is recommended for infections caused by these two species, TLC mycolic acid analysis may be a useful identification tool wherever molecular methods are unaffordable.  相似文献

A simple method for the selective determination of phospholipid hydroperoxide (PLOOH) families in complex lipid populations has been developed. Referred to as HPTLC-TPD, the method is based on PLOOH separation by normal-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography, followed by spray detection with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and densitometric scanning of the purple bands. Parental phospholipids and alcohol analogues are unreactive. Calibration curves, dynamic ranges, and detection limits were established for hydroperoxide standards prepared from phospatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and cardiolipin. For all PLOOH classes, responsiveness was linear out to at least 10 nmol of sample load, the detection limit being 0.1-0.2 nmol. HPTLC-TPD data were validated by subjecting duplicate samples to more complex column chromatography with reductive-mode electrochemical detection. General applicability of the new technique was demonstrated using lipid extracts from two test systems: (i) photoperoxidized liposomal membranes and (ii) tumor cells that had been oxidatively stressed with the respiratory inhibitor antimycin A. HPTLC-TPD provides a convenient, specific, and highly sensitive means for quantifying individual PLOOH families in complex natural mixtures.  相似文献

A thin-layer chromatography (tlc) system has been developed for the separation of glycoprotein-derivedoligosaccharides. The method involves chromatography on silica gel using n-propanol/acetic acid/water (3:3:2 v/v) as the solvent. This tlc method was used to separate pathological oligosaccharides isolated from individuals with GM1 gangliosidosis and with neuraminidase deficiency. The results indicate the potential usefulness of the system in the analysis of complex carbohydrates.  相似文献

Cell culture lines were established from the transplantable mouse hepatomas H6 and H129. Both cell lines had a doubling time about 30 h when maintained in medium containing 5% foetal bovine serum. H6 cells contained about 3-4 times more DNA-dependent RNA polymerase I (Pol I; ribonucleoside triphosphate--RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) than did H129 cells. Moreover, the H6-cell enzyme was more heat-labile than that from H129 cells. Steady-state contents of 28S rRNA were measured in both cell lines. Exponentially growing cultures of H6 cells contained about 6.5pg of 28S rRNA/cell, and similar cultures of H129 cells contained about 5.8pg/cell. Stationary cultures of both cell lines contained about 2pg of 28S rRNA/cell. By two different techniques, the half-time for turnover of 28S rRNA was estimated to be 16-17h for both H6 and H129 cells. Knowing the turnover rate and the steady-state concentration, one may calculate that both H6 and H129 cells synthesize 28S rRNA at a rate of about 0.25 pg/h per cell. The amount of template-bound Pol I activity was similar in nuclei isolated from H6 and H129 cell cultures. These data indicate that, although H6 cells contained 3-4 times more Pol I than did H129 cells, both cell lines synthesized rRNA at about the same rate.  相似文献

Recently I have begun to use two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (tlc) in place of paper chromatography for the kinetic analysis of photosynthetic incorporation of tracer carbon into plant metabolites. Because our general experimental approach (1–3) generates a large number of tlc fractions of widely different radioactivity, an economical, convenient, and rapid technique for collecting and transferring tlc zones to liquid-scintillation vials was required. Many zone collectors have been described (4–11) but were judged inadequate because of one or more of the following disadvantages: potential contamination by adsorbent from previous use adhering to the device, clogging of fritted glass filters, need for cleaning and drying prior to reuse, or need for a separate device for each sample. This report describes a device which is free of these disadvantages and is suitable for rapid collection and transfer of a series of zones.  相似文献

We developed a rapid and sensitive method of identifying benzodiazepines and zopiclone in human serum using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). These drugs were developed and separated on plates within 8–11 min and detected by means of UV radiation and colour. Each drug was accurately identified by means of the values of RF × 100 and the spot colour in three systems. The detection limit of the benzodiazepines in serum was 0.1-0.4 μg/ml, except for cloxazolam and haloxazolam. The sensitivity was increased about ten-fold over the conventional method. These results suggested that the HPTLC system is useful for the initial detection and identification of these drugs in emergencies.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate which diagnostic test is preferable for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastroduodenal disease. STUDY DESIGN: H pylori infection was diagnosed prospectively in 101 patients. Diagnosis of H pylori was made by tests based on five different principles: (1) culture, (2) direct histologic demonstration, (3) imprint cytology, (4) brushing cytology, and (5) gram staining of H pylori. Efficacy of each test was compared. RESULTS: All the tests were reliable for diagnosing H pylori infection; 73.3% of patients showed concordance in at least two tests. All the tests were positive in > 50% of patients. Significant concordance between brushing and imprint cytology was also determined. These two tests have almost similar specificity when compared to other tests. CONCLUSION: When patients undergo upper endoscopy, we recommend taking biopsy specimens for culture and histology. H pylori can be assessed equally well with all the tests, but imprint and brushing cytology have the advantage of rapid response, specificity, much lower cost and reproducibility.  相似文献

A comparison of power and accuracy of estimation of position and QTL effects of three multitrait methods and one single trait method for QTL detection was carried out on simulated data, taking into account the mixture of full and half-sib families. One multitrait method was based on a multivariate function as the penetrance function (MV). The two other multitrait methods were based on univariate analysis of linear combination(s) (LC) of the traits. One was obtained by a principal component analysis (PCA) performed on the phenotypic data. The second was based on a discriminate analysis (DA). It calculates a LC of the traits at each position, maximising the ratio between the genetic and the residual variabilities due to the putative QTL. Due to its number of parameters, MV was less powerful and accurate than the other methods. In general, DA better detected QTL, but it had lower accuracy for the QTL effect estimation when the detection power was low, due to higher bias than the other methods. In this case, PCA was better. Otherwise, PCA was slightly less powerful and accurate than DA. Compared to the single trait method, power can be improved by 30% to 100% with multitrait methods.  相似文献
