The mass production and use of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) have led to a threat to human health. Therefore, establishing a sensitive, rapid, and high-throughput detection method is of great importance. In this study, computer-aided molecular design was firstly applied to design the specific haptens of phorate (PHO), fenthion (FEN), and profenofos (PRO), and high-performance monoclonal antibodies against PHO, FEN, and PRO were prepared. On this basis, a multiplex fluorescent microsphere immunochromatographic assay (FM-ICA) was developed for simultaneous detection of three OPs in cowpea and orange samples. The quantitative detection ranges of PHO, FEN, and PRO were 9.039-140.129, 6.686-108.613, and 5.215-71.479 μg/kg, respectively, in cowpeas; and 7.120-121.566, 3.592-92.185, and 3.579-60.081 μg/kg, respectively, in oranges. The results of recovery and real sample testing showed that the multiplex FM-ICA was rapid and accurate, making it suitable for the on-site testing of a large number of samples.

Immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) provide simple and rapid strategies for bacterial diagnosis but still suffer from the problems of low sensitivity and high dependency on paired antibodies. Herein, the broad-spectrum capture and detection capability of the antibody-free electropositive nanoprobe are clarified for bacteria for the first time and an ultrasensitive fluorescent ICA platform is constructed for the simultaneous diagnosis of multiple pathogens. A magnetic multilayer quantum dot nanocomposite with an amino-embedded SiO shell (MagMQD@Si) is designed to enrich bacteria from solutions effectively, offer high luminescence, and reduce background signals on test strips, thus greatly improving the sensitivity and stability of ICA technique for pathogen.

However, recombinant, solubilized tetrameric NA ectodomains are often challenging to express and isolate, hindering the study of anti-NA humoral responses. To address this obstacle, we established a panel of 22 non-adherent cell lines stably expressing native, historical N1, N2, N3, N9, and NB NAs anchored on the cell surface.

Fluorogenic RNA aptamers have revolutionized the visualization of RNAs within complex cellular processes. A representative category of them employs the derivatives of green fluorescent protein chromophore, 4-hydroxybenzlidene imidazolinone (HBI), as chromophores. However, the structural homogeneity of their chromophoric backbones causes severe cross-reactivity with other homologous chromophores.

We report the existence of deterministic patterns in statistical plots of single-cell transcriptomic data. We develop a theory showing that the patterns are neither artifacts introduced by the measurement process nor due to underlying biological mechanisms. Rather they naturally emerge from finite sample size effects.
