    摘要: An analysis technique can be performed to quantify the digestible protein content of a protein-containing sample outside the body of a living organism. Traditionally, protein digestibility is evaluated in vivo, for example using a rat subject to measure protein digestibility after being fed the protein-containing sample. In some examples, an in vitro technique involves enzymatically digesting the protein-containing sample to simulate digestion that would occur inside a mammalian body. The sample can then be optically analyzed to measure the amount of reactive amine present in the sample, which can provide an indication of the amount of amino acid released during digestion. In some examples, the measured reactive amine value is adjusted to account for the stronger and/or weaker optical response of certain amino acids due to their relative reactivity with an optical tagging agent. Thereafter, an in vivo protein digestibility value can be calculated based on adjusted amine concentration.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for the analysis of a compound with amino group (e.g., an amino acid or peptide) contained in a sample and convenient manner with a high sensitivity. The compound with amino group in a sample containing the compound with amino group is labeled with a specific carbamate compound such as p-trimethylammonium anilyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate iodide to enhance the selectivity and sensitivity. The present invention is preferably used in conjunction with mass spectrometry such as MS/MS method to facilitate quantitative analysis. The present invention further provides labeling reagents for mass spectrometry.

    摘要: Methods for detecting inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, comprising analyzing bacterial L-serine containing lipids in a sample; and, comparing results of the analysis of the bacterial L-serine containing lipids in the sample with information on occurrence of the bacterial L-serine containing lipids in a control sample, wherein a decreased occurrence of the bacterial L-serine containing lipids in the test sample over the occurrence of bacterial L-serine containing lipids in the control sample indicates the presence of an inflammatory or an autoimmune condition, are described herein. An example of the autoimmune condition is multiple sclerosis (MS). The use of bacterial L-serine containing lipids as biomarkers for detection of MS is described. Antibodies specific to L-serine containing lipids and their uses are also provided. Also provided are compositions comprising bacterial L-serine containing lipids for modulating immune responses or TLR pathways in humans, animals, and human or animal cells or tissues.
