Ultrasensitive assays for endogenous antimicrobial polypeptides.

Abstract:

:We developed two sensitive methods for identifying antimicrobial molecules in leukocytes and other tissues. One method uses a gel overlay technique and was designed to identify antimicrobial polypeptides in samples subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The other, a radial diffusion assay, allows multiple fractions obtained by chromatographic procedures to be tested for antimicrobial activity conveniently. When we used E. coli ML-35p or Salmonella typhimurium 14028S as test organisms in the radial diffusion assay, we routinely detected 5-10 ng of rabbit defensin NP-1 in 5 microliters of sample. With minor modifications, both methods can be applied to other organisms, including Gram-positive bacteria, several Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans.

  • Development and use of a novel in vitro assay for testing of diphtheria toxoid in combination vaccines.

    abstract::Testing of diphtheria vaccines for routine lot release relies heavily on the use of in vivo potency assays. However, consistency of production is also recognised as an important feature of vaccine manufacture, and in vitro assays are superior to in vivo assays for providing this information. In adsorbed vaccines, anti...
