Abstract

A solid phase reverse passive hemadsorption test (SP-RPHAd) for hepatitis B surface antigen detection is described. It was compared with a commercial reverse passive hemagglutination assay (Hepatest, Wellcome, U.K.). SP-RPHAd is four-fold less expensive than Hepatest and undiluted sera can be used instead of eight-fold diluted sera without risk of non-specific hemagglutination. Thus, the threshold of detection is lowered to about 5 ng/ml by SP-RPHAd.

Quantitative GFP fluorescence as an indicator of recombinant protein synthesis in transgenic plants.

The utility of green fluorescent protein (GFP) for biological research is evident. A fluorescence-based method was developed to quantify GFP levels in transgenic plants and protein extracts. Fluorescence intensity was linear with increasing levels of GFP over a range that encompasses transgene expression in plants by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Standard curves were used to estimate GFP concentration in planta and in protein extracts. These values were consistent with ELISA measurements of GFP in protein extracts from transgenic plants, indicating that the technique is a reliable measure of recombinant GFP expression. The levels of in planta GFP expression in both homozygous and hemizygous plants was then estimated. Homozygous transgenic plants expressed twice the amount of GFP than hemizygous plants, suggesting additive transgene expression. This methodology may be useful to simplify the characterization of transgene expression in plants.

A new strategy for improved nicotine vaccines using conformationally constrained haptens.

Constrained nicotine analogues were synthesized and coupled to the carrier protein KLH. The immunogenic effects were compared to those using our previously designed flexible nicotine hapten. Immunization of mice with the constrained hapten conjugates resulted in highly increased antibody titers and affinity for nicotine.
