Microarrays That Are Nitrocellulose-Based or Hydrogel-based for Identifying Infection
Novel nitrocellulose-based or hydrogel-based microarrays and methods of making and using them, including instant microarray kits are described.
The kit detects the presence and amount of agents in a sample that determines infection in a subject. The kit also detects whether an agent known to specifically bind to a first compound also specifically binds to a second compound. Further, the method also provides diagnostic methods using instant antibodies.
Microarrays for Study of Molecules Needed to Advance Proteomics and Glycomics
A single technology useful for the simultaneous study of numerous molecules (protein/ carbohydrate/combinations) needed to advance both proteomics and glycomics is provided.
Methods of making and using novel nitrocellulose-based or hydrogel-based microarrays, including instant microarray kits are described. The kit detects the presence and amount of agents in a sample that determines infection in a subject.
The method provides antibodies capable of specifically binding to a glycomer present both on the surface of a mammalian macrophage or intestinal epithelial cell, and on a bacterial cell. The invention further provides diagnostic methods using instant antibodies.
A single technology useful for monitoring protein expression on a genome-wide scale and for characterizing a wide range of ligand-receptor interactions such as protein protein reactions, carbohydrate-protein reactions and the interaction of synthetic small molecules and cellular components are described.
