Abstract:
Fluorescent quinolizinocoumarin compounds substituted with electrophilic reactive groups that bind thiol compounds are described. The compounds are useful in detecting oxidative stress and processes associated therewith in live cells.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a kit for detecting an anti-vinculin-immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, including the antigen protein vinculin, a solid phase carrier, a labeled antibody, an antigen diluent, a sample dilution buffer, an antibody diluent, a substrate color development reagent, a washing solution, a standard, a positive quality control, and negative quality control. In the present disclosure, the kit can detect the anti-Vinculin-IgG antibody in a sample to be tested by indirect reaction combined with magnetic particle-based chemiluminescence immunoassay. Autoantibodies against the target antigen vinculin are identified in the serum of a patient with autoimmune nephrotic syndrome for the first time, and a detection kit is provided for the autoantibodies. The present disclosure provides a basis for molecular mechanism research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune nephrotic syndrome related to vinculin and vinculin-IgG autoantibodies at home and abroad.

Abstract:
The present invention provides probes for detection and quantification of a lipid second messenger, which comprises: a polypeptide specifically bound to the lipid second messenger; two chromophores respectively having different fluorescence wavelengths, wherein each of the chromophores is linked to each end of the polypeptide through a rigid linker sequence; and a membrane localization sequence linked to one of the chromophores through a rigid linker sequence. According to the present invention, it is now possible to quantitatively detect when and in which site of a living cell the lipid second messengers are produced.
Abstract:
A method of diagnosing an amyloid pathology in the central nervous system of a patient using measurements of enrichment kinetics of at least one amyloid-β isoform is provided. In addition, a model to predict enrichment kinetics of at least one amyloid-β isoform, methods of calibrating the model, and methods of using the model to diagnosing an amyloid pathology in the central nervous system of a patient are provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for demonstration of the occurrence of a molecular event, particularly in a cell, characterised by the detection of the ‘solubilisation’ of a fixed protein marker (or the fixing of a solubilised protein marker) which is a direct or indirect marker for the occurrence of the particular molecular event. Said protein marker is present in the cell before the above detection, the cell being subjected to a permeabilisation of the plasma membrane before detection, which liberates the solubilised protein into the extracellular medium, the presence of the marker protein thus being detected in the cell or the extra-cellular medium by any appropriate means, which permits the detection of whether the solubilisation, or the fixing have taken place and, hence, the corresponding molecular event.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for screening agents inducing islet cell neogenesis or duct-to-islet cell transdifferentiation, which comprises the steps of: a) expanding in vitro cells of a duct-like structure obtained by inducing cystic formation in cells in or associated with post-natal islets of Langerhans; b) treating said expanded cells of said duct-like structure with an agent screened; and c) determining potency of said agent of inducing islet cell differentiation of said duct-like structure in becoming insulin-producing cells.
