Article Abstract

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a cornerstone technique for quantifying protein secretion in biological research. However, the built-in software provided by ELISA plate readers often struggles to accurately detect low-concentration proteins, particularly in the sub-nanogram/mL range, due to limitations in calibration curve fitting. We developed the ELISA Protein Detector (EPD) to overcome these challenges. This open-source Python-based software employs advanced optimization algorithms to enhance curve fitting precision, particularly at low detection thresholds." EPD features an intuitive user interface, requires minimal technical expertise, and supports robust cross-validation to enhance the reliability of ELISA data analysis. Tested on Windows systems, this tool provides a cost-effective and versatile solution for researchers, enabling accurate quantification of low-level protein concentrations and addressing the shortcomings of standard ELISA software in diverse biological and clinical applications.

Background: Electronegative LDL (LDL(-)) is a circulant modified LDL with inflammatory properties whose proportion raises in ischemic events. The soluble form of LDL receptor related protein 1 (sLRP1) increases in blood in pathological situations, including ischemic stroke. We aimed to evaluate the effect of LDL(-) on sLRP1 release from monocytes and macrophages.

Parvalbumin (PV), a thermostable and digestion-resistant fish allergen, has been shown to retain its allergenic potential following traditional treatments, thus posing a persistent allergic risk. The study investigated the digestive kinetics and IgE immunoreactivity of Trachinotus ovatus PV, a major fish allergen, under different treatments (untreated; DPCD treatment-15 MPa, 30 min, 50 °C; heat treatment), to evaluate its allergenic potential alterations. The analysis was conducted using a combination of techniques to assess the proteolytic stability and IgE-binding capacity of PV, including Tris-Tricine-SDS-PAGE, Western blot (WB), indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and free amino group quantification.
