Immobilized magnetic fine particle of physiologically active substance

TLDR
In order to collect the above-mentioned magnetic fine particles or separate the particles from magnetotactic bacteria gathered by culture fluid, the concentration by a micro-centrifuge is carried out and the bacterial walls are dissolved with a lysozyme solution as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
PURPOSE:Immobilized magnetic fine particles of a physiologically active substance, obtained by separating from magnetotactic bacteria, having a large surface area due to the small particle size and very large amount of the supported physiologically active substance. CONSTITUTION:The above-mentioned magnetic fine particles are separated from magnetotactic bacteria and can be used even in a state of either being covered with a coating film consisting mainly of a protein or free from the coating film. In general, the magnetic fine particles having the coating film has an advantage in that the harmony with the living body is good. In order to collect the above-mentioned magnetic fine particles or separate the particles from magnetotactic bacteria gathered by culture fluid, the concentration by a micro-centrifuge is carried out and the bacterial walls are dissolved with a lysozyme solution. The centrifugation may then be repeated. Examples of the kind of the physiologically active substance to be immobilized by the separated magnetic fine particles include enzymes, e.g. hydrolase or oxidoreductase, immunity-related substances, growth factors, nucleic acid-related substances, physiologically active substances derived from plants and other physiologically active substances.

Detection of occult blood in excrement

Shoji Okuda, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an excrement sampling spoon is coated with a buffer containing anti-human transferrin being immersed thereinto for 24hr The spoon sticks into excrements to sample a fixed amount of excreMENT after a fixed time, the spoon is washed and immersed into an alkali phosphatase-labelled antibody solution Then, after washed, the sample is immersed into a phenylphosphate substrate liquid to incubate and after the addition of a coloring liquid, the reaction is stopped to measure the degree of coloration

Detection method of streptococcus pneumoniae

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for specifically detecting patients affected by pneumonia/bronchitis by Streptococcus pneumoniae by rapidly and simply detecting without invasive pain the antigen protein derived from SPCP in urine or serum specimens from patients infected with SPCA was proposed.
