This protein was identified by mass spectrometry as secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI). This SLPI contamination lead to a failure of the fiber-optic based competitive fluorescence assay to detect progesterone in milk. Purification of the monoclonal antibody using protein A columns circumvented this problem.

M. T1 - Anti-hemagglutinin antibody derived lead peptides for inhibitors of influenza virus binding T2 - Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe N2 - Antibodies against spike proteins of influenza are used as a tool for characterization of viruses and therapeutic approaches. However, development, production and quality control of antibodies is expensive and time consuming. To circumvent these difficulties, three peptides were derived from complementarity determining regions of an antibody heavy chain against influenza A spike glycoprotein. Their binding properties were studied experimentally, and by molecular dynamics simulations. Two peptide candidates showed binding to influenza A/Aichi/2/68 H3N2. One of them, termed PeB, with the highest affinity prevented binding to and infection of target cells in the micromolar region without any cytotoxic effect. PeB matches best the conserved receptor binding site of hemagglutinin. PeB bound also to other medical relevant influenza strains, such as human-pathogenic A/California/7/2009 H1N1, and avian-pathogenic A/MuteSwan/Rostock/R901/2006 H7N1. Strategies to improve the affinity and to adapt specificity are discussed and exemplified by a double amino acid substituted peptide, obtained by substitutional analysis. The peptides and their derivatives are of great potential for drug development as well as biosensing.

Modification procedures were chosen in a way to obtain high reproducibility with a minimum of time consumption. The idea behind this is a complete regeneration of a microarray printhead before or after usage to achieve best printing results over a typical print job. A sequence of low-pressure oxygen-plasma and plasma polymerization with hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) was used to regenerate printheads. Proof of the concept is given through quality control performed with a spotter implemented CCD camera, contact angle measurements and a typical hybridization experiment. Stable printing results were obtained over 3000 activations showing that the presented method is suitable for treatment of microarray printheads.

The assay makes use of stable transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-AT(1)R) expressing the AT(1)R. A sequential saturation assay principle was used in which receptor binding sites of the CHO-AT(1)R cells are blocked by the analyte in a concentration-dependent manner. Afterwards, TAMRA-angiotensin II, a fluorescence-labeled ligand, was added to bind to the remaining free binding sites of the receptor. In consequence, the fluorescence signal determined is inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

Commonly microarrays are produced in a non-contact manner using silicone printheads. However, silicone printheads are expensive and not able to be used as a disposable. Here, we show the development and functional characterization of 8-channel plastic microarray printheads that overcome both disadvantages of their conventional silicone counterparts. A combination of injection-molding and laser processing allows us to produce a high quantity of cheap, customizable and disposable microarray printheads. The use of plastics (e.g., polystyrene) minimizes the need for surface modifications required previously for proper printing results. Time-consuming regeneration processes, cleaning procedures and contaminations caused by residual samples are avoided. The utilization of plastic printheads for viscous liquids, such as cell suspensions or whole blood, is possible. Furthermore, functional parts within the plastic printhead (e.g., particle filters) can be included. Our printhead is compatible with commercially available TopSpot devices but provides additional economic and technical benefits as compared to conventional TopSpot printheads, while fulfilling all requirements demanded on the latter. All in all, this work describes how the field of traditional microarray spotting can be extended significantly by low cost plastic printheads.

The method is based on the quenching of electroactivity of ferrocenium, which is coupled to the antigen and used as the primary reporter, upon binding to a monoclonal anti-ferrocenium antibody, which is coupled to the detection antibody and used as a secondary reporter. A separation-free progesterone immunoassay with a lower detection limit of 1 ng?mL-1 (3.18 nmol?L-1) in 1?:?2 diluted blood serum was realised by combining two bifunctional conjugates, a ferrocenium-PEG-progesterone tracer and a bioconjugate of one anti-progesterone and one anti-ferrocenium antibody. The immune complex is formed within 30 s upon addition of progesterone, resulting in a total analysis time of 1.5 min.
