Plate Analysis

Purpose. Nitrotyrosine was quantitated in rabbit bladder muscle and mucosa using two analytical systems: Western blotting analyses and a 96-well plate quantitative analysis kit. Materials and Methods. Rabbit bladder muscle and mucosa were obtained from control rabbits. For the Western analysis, the samples were loaded into a SDS page gel and then transferred to a PVDF membrane. The optical density was measured using a Kodak Scanner. Using the 96-well plate, the samples and standards were loaded, incubated with primary and secondary antibody, washed and vacuumed with 10x wash buffer three times between each incubation period. Stop buffer was added to the plate and the results were quantified via the plate reader. Results. For both muscle and mucosa tissue, the optical density readings were linear with tissue concentration; the concentration of nitrotyrosine in the mucosa was significantly higher than in the muscle. However, whereas the Western blot analysis is based on relative optical densities, the 96-well plate kit provides a truly quantitative analysis. Discussion. Mucosa tissue displayed a higher density of nitrotyrosine than did detrusor muscle tissue. This may well be due to the significantly higher metabolic activity of the mucosa compared to the muscle.

Stringency Condition

Lateral flow assay (LFD) based nucleic acid lateral flow (NALF) method has been developed recently. The method met point of care testing (POCT) as simple and rapid procedures, less equipment, and can be performance by less skilled technician. NALF based on nucleic acid hybridizationis more economical then immunochromatography assay which use antibody-antigen recognition. Cross hybridization has issued while used to differentiate organism with high GC content and high homology as high similarity genome. Some techniques has applied to give high stringency condition avoid cross hybridization reaction but need more procedure to apply. We found glycerol applied to buffer assay could reduce cross hybridization on nitrocellulose membrane. The study used 2 kinds of high stringency buffer as PBS and SSC bases and high concentration of ssDNA amplicon as sample. Without glycerol ingredient gave cross hybridization signal on test line. But used glycerol could reduce those even omitted with PBS based buffer assay. Beside those, glycerol could significantly increased hybridization signal in SSC based buffer assay (p<0.05).

Arboviral Disease

Yellow fever (YF), an arboviral disease, affects an estimated 200,000 people and causes 30,000 deaths per year and recently has caused major epidemics in Africa and South America. Timely and accurate diagnosis of YF is critical for managing outbreaks and implementing vaccination campaigns. A YF immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody-capture (MAC) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, the YF MAC-HD, was successfully introduced starting in 2018 to laboratories in Africa and South America. The YF MAC-HD kit can be performed in 3.5 hours, test up to 24 samples, and includes all reagents necessary to perform the test, except for water used to dilute wash buffer. In 2018 and 2019, a total of 56 laboratory personnel from 39 countries in Africa and South America were trained to use the kit during workshops, followed by take-home YF IgM proficiency testing (PT) exercises. Participants received either a 10- or 20-sample YF PT panel and performed testing using the YF MAC-HD kit. All countries obtained 90% or higher correct results. These results verified the technical viability and transferability of YF MAC-HD kit use for laboratories in YF-endemic countries.
