Capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods for transferrin analysis are widely used in clinical laboratories, but complement C3 peaks often overlap with carbohydrate-deficient transferrin peaks. In this study, we discovered that the electrophoretic mobility of the complement C3 peak could be controlled by adding carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and dextran sulfate (DS) to the background electrolyte solution, probably because of adsorption of the polyanions to the proteins. The improved capillary electrophoresis method was developed using spermine, CMC, and DS as the background electrolyte solution additives. The carbohydrate-deficient transferrin concentrations determined using this system were in good agreement with those determined by HPLC, with acceptable reproducibility. These results suggest that this method has the potential to be developed into a new clinical test.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Vaccine Production Process in Removing Residual Host Cell DNA from the Vero Cell Rabies Vaccine.
Vaccines (Basel)
December 2024
National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, No. 31, Huatuo Road, Beijing 102629, China.
Background: The Vero cell rabies vaccine is currently the most widely used human rabies vaccine. However, owing to the presence of residual host cell DNA (HCD) in the final product and the potential tumorigenicity of the DNA of high-passage Vero cells, the WHO not only sets a limit on the number of times cells used in production can be passaged, but also imposes strict requirements on the amount of residual HCD in the final vaccine product.
Objectives: To systematically reduce the HCD level in the final vaccine product, multiple purification steps are included in the vaccine production process.
Study of Interactions Between Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents and Collagen by Taylor Dispersion Analysis and Frontal Analysis Continuous Capillary Electrophoresis.

Background: Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance image contrast by interacting with water molecules, thus improving diagnostic capabilities. However, understanding the residual accumulation of GBCA in tissues after administration remains an area of active research. This highlights the need for advanced analytical techniques capable of investigating interactions between GBCAs and biopolymers, such as type I collagen, which are abundant in the body.

This paper introduces a novel contactless single-chip detector that utilizes impedance-to-digital conversion technology to measure impedance in the microfluidic channel or capillary format analytical device. The detector is designed to operate similarly to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors for capillary electrophoresis or chromatography but with the added capability of performing frequency sweeps up to 200 kHz. At each recorded data point, impedance and phase-shift data can be extracted, which can be used to generate impedance versus frequency plots, or phase-shift versus frequency plots.

Treatment of severely injured patients represents a major challenge, in part due to the unpredictable risk of major adverse events, including death. Preemptive personalized treatment aimed at preventing these events is a crucial objective of patient management; however, the currently available scoring systems provide only moderate guidance. Biomarkers from proteomics/peptidomics studies hold promise for improving the current situation, ultimately enabling precision medicine based on individual molecular profiles.
