Abstract

A rapid auxanographic method for biotin determination was established by means of a biotin auxotrophic yeast strain, and a computer program was designed to calculate the data obtained. Its determination concentration ranges from 0.3 to 5.0 micrograms/ml. The time-tested routine work in our laboratory proved that it is rapid, precis and reliable.

Quantitative RT-PCR ELISA to determine the amount and ratio of positive- and negative strand viral RNA synthesis and the effect of guanidine in poliovirus infected cells.

Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (RT-PCR ELISA) is the method of choice to study positive- and negative strand viral RNA synthesis during poliovirus replication. In comparison with other methods used for this purpose, it fulfils all necessary requirements to accurately determine RNA of different polarity. It combines high specificity, high sensitivity, safety, speed, and the ability to perform quantitative analysis. The enterovirus specific RT-PCR ELISA method described in this work, was used to determine quantitatively the amount of de novo poliovirus positive- and negative strand RNA synthesis at different time-points in the viral replication cycle, both in presence and absence of the viral RNA synthesis inhibitor guanidine hydrochloride.

A solid-phase assay for the quantitative analysis of hyaluronic acid at the nanogram level.

A sensitive and accurate solid-phase assay for the quantitative determination of hyaluronic acid (HA) is described. The wells of the polystyrene microplates used were coated with glutaraldehyde followed, via a Schiff's base bond, with spermine to introduce amino groups. HA was added to the activated microwells in the presence of carbodiimide and left to bind via a peptide bond to the amino groups. Then aggrecan solution was added to the wells of the microtiter plates to interact with its G1 domain with hyaluronic acid, and the amounts of aggrecan bound were measured immunochemically. The inhibition of the binding between aggrecan and immobilized HA due to soluble HA present in reference solutions showed linearity in the range of concentrations 0.1 to 0.7 microg/ml. The reaction is specific and rapid and can be widely used for the calculation of HA in body fluids directly and in tissue samples after a brief digestion with a proteolytic enzyme.
