    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting extracellular ligands. The disclosed systems and method for detecting extracellular ligands typically comprise or utilize engineered red blood cells (eRBCs) that comprises modular extracellular sensors. The eRBCs may comprise: (i) a first exogenous extracellular sensor; the first extracellular sensor comprising: a) a ligand binding domain, b) a transmembrane domain, and c) a first fragment of a functional protein, and (ii) a second exogenous extracellular sensor; the second extracellular sensor comprising: a) a ligand binding domain, b) a transmembrane domain, and c) a second fragment of the functional protein. In the eRBCs, the ligand binding domain of the first exogenous sensor and the ligand binding domain of the second exogenous sensor bind to the same ligand to form a ternary complex, and the first fragment of the functional protein and the second fragment of the functional protein interact in the ternary complex to reconstitute functional activity of the functional protein.

    摘要: The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules encoding a Rhesus D antigen contributing to the weak D phenotype which are characterized by one or a combination of missense mutations or by a gene conversion involving exons 6 to 9 of the RHD and RHCE genes. The present invention further relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to proteins encoded by said nucleic acid molecules and to methods of producing such polypeptides. The fact that missense mutations and the conversion referred to above can be directly correlated to the weak D phenotype has a significant impact on the routine testing of blood samples. For example, oligonucleotides and antibodies can now be designed that generally allow the detection of weak D phenotypes in a sample. Such oligonucleotides, antibodies as well as a variety of diagnostic methods all fall within the scope of the present invention. RhD antigens encoded by the novel nucleic acid molecules may be used for the characterization, standardization and quality control of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D antisera. Finally, the invention relates to a kit useful for testing for the presence of weak D phenotypes.

    摘要: In the present invention, a reagent capable of immunospecific reaction with the analyte of interest is conjugated to a photocatalytic microparticle. After the immunospecific binding has occurred, the assay amplification is performed by exposing photocatalytic particles to actinic UV light in presence of an oxidizable compound. Photocatalytic particles are catalyzing multiple occurrences of oxidation of oxidizable compound under UV light irradiation resulting in detectable changes such as color change. This provides for amplification of each single act of immunospecific binding and is followed by colormetric detection. Thus a high sensitivity quantitative or qualitative immunoassay can be realized.

    摘要: A method and composition for the purpose of detecting and measuring analytes, such as antibodies, which are capable of binding with certain binding partners such as antigens. A homogenous assay is performed in the presence of free unbound antibodies. Such a homogeneous assay testing for specific antibodies is herein possible by defining of test subsets of microparticles having specific antigens thereon which are capable of binding with specific target antibodies. The microparticle suspension also includes at least two calibration subsets of microparticles having a binding partner thereon with at least two known levels of concentration which is capable of binding with human antibodies for the purpose of assay calibration. A verification subset of microparticles is included with another binding partner thereon at a known concentration, capable of binding with anti-human antibodies. This suspension is incubated with a human sample and then is incubated with a tagging component which is measurable for calibration and verification and finally for determining the concentration of target antibodies bound to the test subsets. A separate verification subset of microparticles is included for verifying the calibration and for yielding a correction factor therefore. A complete calibration calculation is performed for each sample being tested. Preferably, the attaching component of the tagging component is the same molecule as the first binding partner material positioned on the calibration subsets of microparticles.
