Article Abstract

We developed a biotin-streptavidin-based sandwich ELISA for the sensitive and specific detection of Yersinia pestis. In this assay, the F1 capsular protein and Y. pestis were captured by anti-F1 mouse monoclonal antibody followed by detection with biotinylated-anti-F1 rabbit polyclonal antibody and HRP-conjugated streptavidin. The developed F1 ELISA could detect not only the F1 protein up to 29 and 17 pg/ml but also Y. pestis up to 177.8 and 129.2 CFU/ml in PBS buffer and human serum, respectively. In addition, the F1 ELISA did not show any cross-reactivity with various proteins and bacterial strains.

Problem: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the necessary cause of cervical cancer. Studies showed that disruption of the inflammatory milieu in the cervicovaginal mucosa can promote the persistence of HPV, which can result in cervical carcinogenesis. This study determined sociodemographic factors and vaginal inflammatory cytokines associated with HPV infection in Manila, Philippines.

Introduction: Adenosine deaminases ADA1 and ADA2 reduce adenosine concentrations, which regulate cellular immune responses to activation signals. It has been shown that ADA2 activity increases in the pleural fluid of patients with tuberculosis (TB).

Methods: We engineered recombinant scFv-AP antibodies using phage display technology to select high-affinity binders against ADA2.

Background: Epilepsy is a chronic and complex brain disorder characterized by frequent seizures, cognitive impairments, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and imbalances in neurotransmitters. Developing an effective therapeutic intervention to target these pathological interventions remains a challenge. Trimetazidine (TMZ), the most commonly known anti-ischemic agent, has emerged as a promising candidate for its role in epilepsy due to its diverse mechanisms of action.

Among the various oxidative DNA lesions, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is widely recognized as a critical biomarker for assessing DNA damage and disease risk. Traditional detection methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), LC-tandem mass spectrometry, and immunohistochemical techniques, provide high accuracy but suffer from limitations like time-consuming procedures, high costs, and extensive sample preparation requirements. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a widely used and cost-effective alternative, has been increasingly explored for 8-OHdG detection.

In recent years, the decline in ovarian reserve function has become a major cause of reduced female fertility. Early identification, evaluation, and management of ovarian reserve dysfunction are essential for improving female fertility and reproductive health. Currently, the main diagnostic method is assessing ovarian function through measuring AMH serum concentration and follicle count.
