Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid and efficient method for DNA amplification, producing concatemers of varying lengths (amplicons). This study explores the characterization of LAMP amplicons using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) and their realization in LAMP - lateral flow assay (LFA) for point-of-care diagnostics. We examined LAMP products from the invA gene of Salmonella enterica using two specific primer sets and three methods: fluorescent staining with SYBR Green, electrophoretic detection, and AF4.

Drug targeting is a methodology that helps to overcome the side effects of therapeutic molecules. However, insufficient targeting specificity and the on-target/off-site delivery leave much room for improvement in the targeting endeavors. One approach to enhance the specificity of drug targeting is to engineer artificial receptors with recognition ligands not observed in nature.

Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are a cost-effective and rapid colorimetric technology that can be effectively used for nucleic acid tests (NATs) in various fields such as medical diagnostics and biotechnology. Given their importance, developing more diverse LFAs that operate through novel working mechanisms is essential for designing highly selective and sensitive NATs and providing insights for designing various practical point-of-care testing (POCT) systems. Herein we report a new type of lateral flow assay (LFA) based on fluorescein-switching, enabled by nucleic acid-templated photooxidation of reduced fluorescein by riboflavin tetraacetate (RFTA).

Assays for assessing cell-mediated cytotoxicity are largely target-cell-centric and cannot identify and isolate subpopulations of cytotoxic effector cells. Here we describe an assay compatible with flow cytometry for the accurate identification and sorting of functional killer-cell subpopulations in co-cultures. The assay, which we named PAINTKiller (for 'proximity affinity intracellular transfer identification of killer cells'), relies on the detection of an intracellular fluorescent protein 'painted' by a lysed cell on the surface of the lysing cytotoxic cell (specifically, on cell lysis the intracellular fluorescein derivative carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester is captured on the surface of the natural killer cell by an antibody for anti-fluorescein isothiocyanate linked to an antibody for the pan-leucocyte surface receptor CD45).

Background: Canonical Wnt signaling is involved in a variety of biological processes including stem cell renewal and differentiation, embryonic development, and tissue regeneration. Previous studies reported the stage-specific roles of the Wnt signaling in heart development. Canonical Wnt signal activation by recombinant Wnt3a in the early phase of differentiation enhances the efficiency of myocardial cell production from pluripotent stem cells.
