There are quite a few out there. I've always made my own. I do know that the source and purity of stabilizing protein can have a great effect on S/N. You might want to try using fatty acid free BSA, or fetal calf serum in your diluent. Concentration and variations from lot to lot could have an effect. Variations in buffer ionic strength and pH could also have an effect. I guess a commercial supplier may be the best choice if you don't want to worry about variations. You may want to try Kirkengard and Perry Labs, Pierce Chemical, BioRad, BioWhittaker, Sigma BioScience, to name just a few. There is also a new biotechnology suppliers Web site at http:/www.iscpubs.com. However, even commercial buffers may differ depending on your antibody-antigen interactions and kinetics. Most suppliers are willing to provide samples for evaluation without charge (if you're kind to the rep and say please). Another possibility is changing washing buffers. Is non-specific binding a problem that reduces sensitivity? If so, you may want to try increasing wash cycle times, increase NaCl concentration, or try an alternative surfactant. These all are interdependant, so be careful. Also, have you thought about going to an avidin-biotin conjugate. This can significantly increase sensitivity. This is all I can really say without more specific information and hard data. Please E-Mail me if you have any questions.

I have in fact tried the NAD/H amplification system, and my experience was exactly the same as yours. The situation was even worse when I tried to use tuber sap as opposed to leaf sap. I have also used a luminescence based assay, which did actually prove to be about 10 x more sensitive at it's best, but the Titanium oxide plates I purchased from Dynatech were very unreliable and tended to go of over time!

I'm trying to find a valid alternative to the MIL-STD 105E tables to develop a QC sampling plan. (If you haven't heard of these, thank your stars). A manufacturing group for which I am consulting thinks the material consumption rate is too high with the use of the MIL-STD tables. I'm stuck with the task of coming up with an alternative method that has some statistical basis (I'm not a statistician by any stretch of the imagination).

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index in addition to the master index for the entire set. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

Sugisaki) I have been involved in alcohol abuse markers over the past several years, comparing enzymes (ggt etc) with CDT, Beta-Hexosaminidase and Hemoblobin Acetaldehyde. GGT is actually a relative poor marker (sens in the mid 60s) but no one of the others are much better. Sometimes the best results achived are through the use of a combination of markers. I think that problems seen with these markers are related to the wide variety of individual physiological reaction to alcohol consumption, the wide variability of drinking patterns, the broad definition of abuse and the variability of the indicators themselves. One person may show elevations of one marker over the other but it is not predictive of the results of that marker for another subject. An other problem of some of the newer markers are the developmental stage of the technology available to perform the tests. No gold standard, fuzzy cutoffs and unclear interpretations confuse the issue even more. There is a lot of literature out there (especially from the Nordic countries) but I don't think it will reduce your confusion. Speciality Labs in California are doing alot of work with CDT. You could contact them for some further information. Good Luck.

Our experience, frankly, has been variable. Alk-phos kits have 'worked', to date, but we've had problems with amount of reagent supplied, vials and components missing. Also, because all kits have to come from the American supplier (and are not always even 'in stock' there), we've had quite serious delays in getting our orders filled. In our most recent HRP conjugation, however, we had terrible coupling, compared to a previous Genosys kit with the same antibody -- we didn't know whether or not that was the fault of the kit, or our own problem, but it does look worrisome -- we'll see how the second coupling (each kit comes with nominal reagents for two coupling procedures) goes.

The intent of the symposium is to review the past 50 years of BVD research and to attempt to set the agenda for future efforts to control this ruminant pathogen. This meeting will cover all aspects of BVD virus including historic perspectives, molecular biology of the virus, pathogenesis of acute BVD virus infections as well as mucosal disease, epidemiology, diagnostics, vaccines and other control strategies. The goal of the meeting is to provide a comprehensive overview for everyone interested in the BVD virus disease complex. Through the generosity of a grant from Pfizer Animal Health, an international panel of invited speakers will present the main program. In addition, abstracts will be solicited from those who wish to present new data from ongoing studies. These will be interspersed with the invited presentations or selected for a poster session on Monday evening. Time will be allotted for roundtable discussions to allow attendees to question and comment on the presentations. The meeting site will be the College of Veterinary Medicine with shuttle service provided from local hotels to the College. The welcoming reception on Sunday, lunches on Monday and Tuesday as well as dinner on Monday will be provided at the Conference site. We hope you will join us for the auspicious occasion.

Some times her abdomen is so distended she looks like an Ethopian baby. Her doctors and referring specialists have no clue as to what is going on. She now has plus plus elevated eosiniphiles in her stools and are treating her with steroids. The doctors think that she might have eosinophilic gastroenteropathy but is very rare in kids of her age not to mention that this condition is very rare period. The questionable treatment is to hack out large amounts of her bowels. Does anyone have or know anything about this disease or treatment or any ideas as to what could be wrong with her.

One of the priority areas in the recommendations from this Panel was diagnostic applications of molecular biology. The Diagnostics Club is holding a Workshop on Monday 15th April 1996 at Hulme Hall, University of Manchester, UK to examine and flesh-out what are the UK's R&D and commercial strengths and weaknesses in genetic-based diagnostics; and what can be done to address the weaknesses and utilize the strengths. The Workshop will take the format of introductory speakers prior to the delegates dividing into four (preselected) interest discussion groups, namely: Sample preparation for genetic testing, Automation, Multi-mutation detection, and Intellectual Property Rights. When reconvened, the Group leaders and Raconteurs will present the conclusions developed by their (own) groups. It is anticipated that the discussion groups will come up with a list of future activities to drive forward the UK genetics-based diagnostics industry to the benefit of all.
