This work reports on the fundamental characteristics of a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for iprodione and the application to residue analysis in agricultural samples. The ELISA had enough analytical sensitivity (I50 value 4.0 ng g(-1); limit of detection 0.3 ng g(-1)) to determine a trace of iprodione residue and had a high selectivity. Only administering simple dilution of sample extracts very easily surmounted the most troublesome matrix interference in ELISA for pesticide residue analysis. Consequently, a rapid and simple detection method for iprodione was reached by the combination of the sample dilution and the devised extraction method in which it required no instruments for extraction. The average recovery values from spiked samples with the ELISA were between 106.4 and 115.8% with the average coefficients of variation between 3.0 and 4.0%. The results obtained with the ELISA correlated well with those by the reference chromatographic method for all tested agricultural samples (r>0.993). These findings strongly indicate that the proposed ELISA was an adequate and reliable detection method for iprodione residues.

Pesticides, including fipronil, are used mainly in agriculture; however, in veterinary and animal husbandry, their potential use is to control the pests responsible for vector-borne diseases. Their residues in agriculture products and direct use on farms are responsible for potentially harming livestock and poultry. So, this study was designed to evaluate the toxico-pathological effects of fipronil on the immune system of poultry birds.

ConspectusIons are the crucial signaling components for living organisms. In cells, their transportation across pore-forming membrane proteins is vital for regulating physiological functions, such as generating ionic current signals in response to target molecule recognition. This ion transport is affected by confined interactions and local environments within the protein pore.

During the harvest of Ilex paraguariensis, approximately 2-5 tons per hectare of thick stems are left on the soil surface. The outer portion of these stems, referred to as the coproduct, constitutes 30% of the total residue mass. Although this coproduct has been partially characterized in terms of its phytochemical profile, its technological applications remain unexplored.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a family of ligand-gated ion channels expressed in nervous and non-nervous system tissue important for memory, movement, and sensory processes. The pharmacological targeting of nAChRs, using small molecules or peptides, is a promising approach for the development of compounds for the treatment of various human diseases including inflammatory and neurogenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Using the acetylcholine binding protein (Ac-AChBP) as an established structural surrogate for human homopentameric α7 nAChRs, we describe an innovative protein painting mass spectrometry (MS) method that can be used to identify interaction sites for various ligands at the extracellular nAChR site.
