With the wide applications of europium-doped Gd2O3 nanoparticles (Gd2O3:Eu(3+) NPs) in biomedical fields, it will inevitably increase the chance of human exposure. It was reported that Gd2O3:Eu(3+) NPs could accumulate in bone. However, there have been few reports about the potential effect of
We have developed a 'sandwich'-type time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) for tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) using two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and the streptavidin/biotin (SAB) system. In this simple and fast streptavidin/biotin IFMA (SAB-IFMA) we used streptavidin coated wells
A highly sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of human plasma cytokines is described. The cytokines such as interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) are known to be acute inflammatory cytokines and it has been reported that these cytokines are secreted into
BACKGROUND
Adherent cells undergo apoptosis when detached from their home ground, a process called anoikis (homelessness).
METHODS
We developed a new and sensitive method to analyse apoptosis and anoikis of adherent cell types using a time resolved fluorometric assay with Europium-labelled Annexin
Red emitting europium (III) complexes Eu(TFAAN)₃(P(Oct)₃)₃ (TFAAN = 2-(4,4,4-Trifluoroacetoacetyl)naphthalene, P(Oct)₃ = trioctylphosphine) chelated on carboxymethyl dextran coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CMD-SPIONs) was synthesized and the step wise synthetic process was
The herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) receptor and its ligand, HVEM-L, are involved in both herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) infection, and in T-cell activation such that antagonists of this interaction are expected to have utility in viral and inflammatory
A method is introduced for quantitative detection of cell surface protein expression. The method is based on immunocytochemistry, the use of long decay time europium(III) chelate and platinum(II) porphyrin labels, and detection of photoluminescence emission from adhered cells by time-resolved
A luminometric method for quantitative cell surface protein expression analysis has been developed in a microtiter plate format. The method is based on immunocytochemistry, the use of long-lived europium(III) and terbium(III) chelates and platinum(II) porphyrin luminescence labels in addition to
A novel and sensitive immunoassay method has been developed in which the conventional sandwich immunoassay and the highly sensitive DNA detection method, the Invader method, are combined. The signal amplification function of the latter method has been successfully used to enhance the sensitivity of
BACKGROUND
Although CD8+ T cell-mediated and natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity against renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) plays a crucial role during rejection, the degree of inhibition of these lytic immune responses by immunosuppressive drugs is unknown. We investigated the CD8
Non-isotopic immunoassays for human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and human interleukin-6 (IL-6) were established by employing the dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay (DELFIA) system based on the time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay technique with europium-labeled antibody.
OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and soluble TNF receptors (sTNF-Rs) system related with Th1 and Th2 and activity of NF-kappaB/IkappaB regulatory system. This study was designed to compare sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 production (shedding) and levels of late activated CD8+ T-lymphocytes in non-pregnant
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines and investigated the mechanisms
