The resonant cavity imaging biosensor (RCIB) is an optical technique for detecting molecular binding interactions label free at many locations in parallel that employs an optical resonant cavity for high sensitivity. Near-infrared light centered at 1512.5 nm couples resonantly through a Fabry-Perot
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) result from anchoring a metal-containing moiety within a macromolecular scaffold (protein or oligonucleotide). The resulting hybrid catalyst combines attractive features of both homogeneous catalysts and enzymes. This strategy includes the possibility of optimizing
A method for delivering drugs to sites of disease extension in mediastinal nodes is described. Mediastinal node and lymphatic distributions were determined after intracavitary injection of the avidin/biotin-liposome system in normal rats. The effect of the injected dose on lymphatic targeting of
The concept of point of darkness has received much attention for biosensing based on phase-sensitive detection and perfect absorption of light. The maximum phase change is possible at the point of darkness where the reflection is almost zero. To date, this has been experimentally realized using
BACKGROUND
Distinguishing small cell epithelial malignancies of the sinonasal cavity and nasopharynx is difficult due to overlapping morphologic characteristics, particularly in small biopsies. This distinction is important, however, because of the inherent differences in biology, natural history,
BACKGROUND
Detecting malignant cells in body cavity effusions can be diagnostically challenging. Several monoclonal antibodies have been studied to improve the diagnostic yield of effusion cytology but without widespread acceptance. The CA 15-3 antibody has demonstrated high sensitivity but limited
Malignant cells exhibit increased rates of glycolysis and glucose uptake, and several types of cancer have been reported to overexpress the GLUT1 glucose transporter. The diagnosis of malignancy in body cavity effusions remains a dilemma in certain cases, despite recent progress in diagnostic
The onset of plaque-mediated disease, including dental caries and periodontal diseases, is highly associated with compositional change of the resident microflora from the ecological perspective. As specific bacterial profiles have been linked to different disease stages, microbial compositional
BACKGROUND
It has been suggested that host matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) present in dentin may be involved in caries progression, however, its response to caries is not known. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has been implicated in dentin mineralization and MMP-2 modulation.
OBJECTIVE
To identify and
An enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) of the sandwich type for the determination of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABPc) was developed, making use of the streptavidin-biotin system. The assay turned out to be virtually disturbance insensitive and showed a detection limit for
The properties and distribution of the secretory substance in the ependymal cells of the subcommissural organ in the domestic chicken were examined with seven different lectins, using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method. On the ventricular surface of this organ, LFA, PNA, RCA-I and WGA
Specimens from 25 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity were examined immunohistochemically, using Streptavidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC) with a series of monoclonal antibodies. Subsets of the infiltrating T lymphocytes in cancer tissues were identified and analysed. We
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether neurochemicals normally found within neuron somata, fibers, and terminals of the hippocampal formation would also be present in transplanted hippocampal tissue that had developed in lesion cavities made in adult rat brains by aspiration of
Serial frozen sections were prepared from 22 squamous cell carcinomas of oral cavity and paranasal sinus. Mononuclear cell infiltrates were stained by the biotin-avidin-horseradish peroxidase method using a panel of 10 mouse monoclonal antibodies to human leukocyte antigens. The degree of
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a nuclear protein synthesized in the late G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and immunohistochemical detection of the protein represents a useful marker for the proliferating fraction of cells in tissue specimens. A series of malignant and pre-malignant
