Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot analysis is frequently used to investigate immune responsiveness during clinical trials. However, ELISpot classically utilizes peripheral blood mononuclear cell isolates from whole blood, requiring relatively high blood draw volumes and removing both granulocytes and bound drug. Here, we describe a novel protocol whereby CD45 cells are magnetically isolated from human whole blood and co-incubated with serum isolated from the same subject.

The present study aimed to determine the pulmonary cytokine profiles of patients with anti-RNA synthetase (ARS) and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibodies. The study included patients with ARS and MDA5 whose serum or bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) was available. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay microarray multiplex assay was used to measure 18 cytokine levels in serum and BALF.

Rapid and sensitive protein detection methods are of benefit to clinical diagnosis, pathological mechanism research, and infection prevention. However, routine protein detection technologies, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot, suffer from low sensitivity, poor quantification and labourious operation. Herein, we developed a fully automated protein analysis system to conduct fast protein quantification at the single molecular level.

Background: Insulin resistance often occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) owing to mineral and bone metabolism disorders. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 and soluble klotho (s-KL) play crucial roles in linking CKD with mineral and bone metabolism.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and FGF-23 and s-KL in patients with non-diabetic pre-dialysis patients with CKD.

Leptospiroz, insan ve hayvanları etkileyen, Antarktika hariç tüm kıtalarda bulunan ve Leptospira cinsi spiroketlerin neden olduğu zoonotik bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Salgınlara yol açabilmesi nedeniyle halk sağlığı açısından önemli bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmada; kliniğimizde leptospiroz tanısıyla izlenen 11 olgunun, epidemiyolojik özellikleri, saptanan etkenler, klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları açısından retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
