摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for reading test strips such as lateral flow test strips as used for the testing of various chemicals in humans and animals. A compact and portable device is provided that may be battery powered when used remotely from the laboratory and, may store test data until it can be downloaded to another database. Motive power during scanning of the test strip is by means of a spring and damper that is wound by the operator during the insertion of a test strip cassette holder prior to test.

The subject invention provides antibodies, including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, that bind to E6 proteins from at least three oncogenic strains of HPV. In general, the antibodies bind to amino acids motifs that are conserved between the E6 proteins of different HPV strains, particularly HPV strains 16 and 18. The subject antibodies may be used to detect HPV E6 protein in a sample, and, accordingly, the antibodies find use in a variety of diagnostic applications, including methods of diagnosing cancer. Kits for performing the subject methods and containing the subject antibodies are also provided.
摘要:
Synthetic DNA molecules encoding various HPV proteins are provided. The codons of the synthetic molecules are designed so as to use the codons that preferentially increase expression of the polypeptide in the host cell, which in preferred embodiments is a human cell. The codons are modified in order to minimize, decrease or eliminate cellular destruction of the polypeptide construct.
