Abstract

The new solid-phase immunoassay technique has been applied for antidigoxin monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) detection. At the first assay step, antidigoxin Mabs (IgG1, Kaff = 9.2 x 10(9) M-1) bound with specially prepared immunosorbent: microtiter plates with adsorbed digoxin-human serum albumin conjugate, in which free amino groups were blocked by glutaraldehyde (the microtiter plates with immobilized conjugate were treated for 3h by 2.5% glutaraldehyde at 45 degrees C, this had no significant effect on the immunological properties of immunosorbents). After antigen-antibody reaction and solid phase separation, free amino groups were located only at the antidigoxin Mabs bound to GSI immunosorbent. At the second assay step, N-hydroxysuccinimide-biotin ester solution was added to bind with the free amino groups. After separation at the third assay step, biotin labels were detected by the streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate. The method does not require second labeled antibodies and may be used for anti-hapten screening.

ZrO₂@C-based colorimetric/photothermal dual-mode immunosensor coupled with a novel monoclonal antibody for quantification of Aspergillus ochraceus biomass.

Aspergillus ochraceus contaminates agricultural products and produces nephrotoxic, carcinogenic ochratoxin A (OTA), posing severe food safety hazards. A dual-signal lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (dLFIA) based on ZrO₂@C nanoprobes was established for quantitative detection of A. ochraceus biomass. A novel monoclonal antibody (mAb 4B4) was prepared as the capture antibody to immobilize A. ochraceus mycelial lysate antigen on the test line, and a rabbit polyclonal antibody (pAb G2801) as the detection antibody to modify ZrO₂@C composites (synthesized via UiO-66 pyrolysis) into 200 nm colorimetric/photothermal nanoprobes. This dLFIA achieved limits of detection of 0.164 μg/mL (colorimetric) and 0.517 μg/mL (photothermal). This efficient and reliable method allows quantitative analysis of A. ochraceus biomass, which is suitable for routine monitoring of fungal contamination in agro-food matrices.

Abortive infection in HeLaCD4 cells by a primary HIV type 1 isolate: implications for differential host cell tropism.

The emergence of T cell-tropic, syncytium-inducing (T-tropic/SI) HIV-1 variants from the background of macrophage-tropic, non-syncytium-inducing (M-tropic/NSI) strains is associated with disease progression in infected individuals. HIV89.6 is a primary isolate with a transitional phenotype: like M-tropic strains it replicates in primary macrophages and lymphocytes but not in most transformed cells, yet it is also syncytium inducing. We have shown that HIV89.6 can utilize both the M-tropic and T-tropic cofactors CCR-5 and CXCR-4, respectively, in conjunction with CD4 for fusion and entry into otherwise nonpermissive nonhuman cells. To better understand the nature of restricted HIV89.6 infection of transformed cells, we analyzed its interaction with CD4-expressing transformed human HeLaCD4-LTR/beta-Gal cells, which contain the beta-galactosidase gene linked to the HIV-1 LTR. Here we show that HIV89.6 enters these cells and undergoes reverse transcription and integration. Furthermore, HIV89.6 induces LTR-driven beta-galactosidase expression, indicating Tat-dependent trans-activation, in a similar number of cells as the permissive T-tropic/SI isolate HIV(HXB). Acute infection with HIV89.6, however, produces markedly lower levels of p24 antigen and infectious virus per trans-activation-positive cell than HIV(HXB). In contrast, transfection results in high levels of expression for both viruses but HIV89.6 still fails to establish spreading infection. HIV89.6 is also blocked after entry in two other nonpermissive cell lines, SUP-T1 and U937. HIV89.6 arrest in HeLaCD4-LTR/beta-Gal cells at a stage subsequent to entry, reverse transcription, integration, and Tat expression is a novel level at which HIV-1 strain- and cell-specific restrictions define host cell tropism. These studies emphasize that complex patterns of tropism are determined by the interplay of permissive or restricted virus-cell interactions at multiple steps in the replication cycle.

LN-2 (CD74). A marker to distinguish atypical fibroxanthoma from malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

BACKGROUND: In this study, the authors examined the expression of LN-2, an antigen expressed by B cells, macrophages, and Reed-Sternberg cells, in a variety of spindle cell lesions of the skin to determine whether LN-2 immunoreactivity can be used to differentiate among these tumors. For comparison, they examined CD34 antigen expression in these lesions, which has been shown to be a useful marker in differentiating dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans from dermatofibroma. METHODS: Immunocytochemistry with anti-LN-2 and anti-CD34 monoclonal antibodies on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded material was performed on 102 spindle cell lesions, including dermatofibroma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, atypical fibroxanthoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, leiomyoma, and neurofibroma. RESULTS: LN-2 immunoreactivity did not distinguish between dermatofibroma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, both of which showed weak immunoreactivity. In marked contrast, 90% of cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma showed strong staining for LN-2, whereas the vast majority (90%) of cases of atypical fibroxanthoma were negative or stained only weakly with anti-LN-2 antibodies. Of the two cases of atypical fibroxanthoma that stained strongly for LN-2, both lesions were > 2 cm in size and extended deep into the subcutaneous fat. CONCLUSIONS: Differential expression of the LN-2 antigen by atypical fibroxanthoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma distinguishes these two lesions and suggests that acquisition of LN-2 positivity may be a marker of tumor progression.
