A novel colorimetric method for the detection of Escherichia coli using cytochrome c peroxidase-encoding bacteriophage.

abstract：:Peroxidase-conjugated transferrin was used to detect transferrin receptors both in intact outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Neisseria species in a dot blot assay, and in SDS-PAGE-separated OMV proteins after transferring to nitrocellulose membranes. All N. meningitidis strains produced transferrin receptors after cu...
