    摘要: Mycobacteria such as M. tuberculosis and M. leprae are considered to be prototypical intracellular bacilli that have evolved strategies to enable growth in the intracellular phagosomes of the host cell. By contrast, we show that lysosomes rapidly fuse with the virulent M. tuberculosis and M. leprae— containing phagosomes of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages. After 2 days, M. tuberculosis progressively translocate from phagolysosomes into the cytosol where they replicate. Cytosolic entry is also observed for M. leprae but not for the vaccine strain, M. bovis BCG, or killed mycobacteria, and is dependent upon secretion of the mycobacterial gene products CFP-IO and ESAT-6 of the RDI region. The present invention further provides means and methods for using these findings in therapeutic and immunogenic compositions.

    摘要: The present invention provides an electrochemical method and a test strip for detecting hemoglobin in a specimen. The method includes the steps of providing the specimen with a reagent, which has a buffer solution, a surfactant and an electron mediator, tetrathiafulvalene, modified by cyclodextrin; detecting electric current produced by the reaction of the hemoglobin and the electron mediator in a specimen under a potentiostatic condition; and calculating a hemoglobin concentration in the specimen according to the detected electric current. In the method of the present invention, tetrathiafulvalene modified by cyclodextrin is used as an electron mediator, which directly interacts with the hemoglobin in the specimen. Since the hemoglobin concentration is in inverse proportion to the value of electric current or the value of SOC (state-of-charge) integrated by electric current value with time, the hemoglobin concentration in a whole blood specimen or the hematocrit level in a blood specimen is accurately and rapidly obtained according to the detected electric value or the value of SOC.

    摘要: A two-photon probe for real-time monitoring of intracellular magnesium ions is provided. Specifically, the two-photon probe is represented by Formula 1: wherein R is H or CH2OCOCH3. The two-photon probe is very suitable for real-time imaging of intracellular magnesium ions. The two-photon probe shows 17-fold two-photon excited fluorescence enhancement in response to Mg2+, which is 7-fold stronger than commercial probes, thus enabling staining of cells in a greatly reduced amount. In addition, the two-photon probe has a sufficiently low molecular weight to stain cells and is very suitable for monitoring Mg2+ ions present in the deep tissue. Furthermore, the two-photon probe can be effectively used for the quantitative as well as qualitative detection of intracellular magnesium ions. Further provided are a method for preparing the two-photon probe and a method for real-time monitoring of intracellular magnesium ions using the two-photon probe.
