SPRi (Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging) biosensors are used for detection in real time with advantage of processing large number parallel measurements. Our goal is fast detection of low concentrations of ovalbumin and similar proteins. A low concentration testing of proteins in urea or blood serum is needed for clinical tests. The current SPRi method is not capable of measuring ovalbumin concentrations lower than 1 mg/l directly. This article shows measurements of biochemical substance concentrations and a possibility of identification of very low concentrations on several experiments. Strengthening of the signal was achieved by coupling of a secondary biotinylized antibody (anti-ovalbumin), to which streptavidin is further attached. and Bionsenzory SPRi (Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging) jsou používány pro detekci v reálném čase s výhodou zpracování velkého počtu paralelních měření. Naším cílem je detekce nízkých koncentrací ovalbuminu a podobných proteinů. Testování nízké koncentrace proteinů v moči a krevním séru jsou nutné pro klinické zkoušky. Současná metoda SPRi nedokáže přímo měřit koncentrace ovalbuminu nižší než 1 mg/l. V tomto příspěvku je na několika experimentech předvedeno měření koncentrací biochemické substance a možnost určení velmi nízkých koncentrací. Zesílení signálu bylo dosaženo přidáním biotinu a streptavidinu.
Application of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is one from the most developed optical detection techniques in the frame of biosensors. Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) can monitor biomolecular interactions and detect materials without previous marking of biochemical. We can on line monitor the biochip surface during the biomolecules interactions. It is possible to measure simultaneously several tens of various interactions. The motivation consists in the determination of ovalbumine level in the patient’s urine. and Aplikace rezonanční excitace povrchových plasmonů (SPR, Surface Plasmon Resonance) patří mezi jednu z nejrozvinutějších optických detekčních technik v oblasti biosenzorů. SPRi (SPRi, Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging) umožňuje monitorovat interakce biomolekul a detekovat látky bez nutnosti předchozího značení jedné z biochemikálií. V reálném čase lze sledovat přímo zobrazení povrchu biočipu při interakcích biomolekul. Lze paralelně měřit několik desítek různých interakcí. Motivací je možnost specifikovat hladinu ovalbuminu v moči pacientů.
Background and objective: Investigation of the effects of MnTnHex-2-PyP on some markers of inflammation and lipid peroxidation in an asthma mice model. Methods: The experiment was carried out on 24 female mice C57Bl/6, divided into four groups: group 1, controls; group 2, injected with ovalbumin (OVA); group 3, treated with MnTnHex-2-PyP and group 4, treated with OVA and MnTnHex-2-PyP. The animals from groups 1 and 3 were injected i.p. on days 0 and 14 with a 100 μl phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and those from groups 2 and 4 were injected with a 100 μl ovalbumin solution, containing 20 μg OVA. On days 24, 25 and 26 the mice from groups 1 and 2 were inhaled with PBS for 30 min, and those from groups 2 and 4 were given a 1% ovalbumin solution. One hour before inhalation, and 12 hours later the animals from groups 1 and 2 were injected i.p. with 100 μl PBS, and those from groups 3 and 4 received a 100 μl MnTnHex-2-Pyp solution in PBS сontaining 0.05mg/kg. Results: Ovalbumin alone (group 2) increased the total cell number, total protein content, the levels of IL-4, IL-5 and 8-isoprostane in bronchoalveolar lavage. Elevations were observed in IgE level in serum, and the malone dialdehyde (MDA) content in the lung homogenate. These markers were decreased significantly in group 4 as compared to the OVA group. Conclusions: MnTnHex-2-Pyp reduces the inflammation and lipid peroxidation in Ovalbumin-induced mice asthma model, Veneta Shopova, Lyudmil Terziev, Violeta Dancheva, Galya Stavreva, Milena Atanasova, Angelina Stoyanova, Tzvetan Lukanov, and Literatura
