Plaque Assay

A cell monolayer is treated with a dilution of a GFP-expressing virus. The cells are then coated with agar, which limits the virus spread to only neighboring cells.After incubation, GFP+ circles of infected cellsare counted for virus titration.

ProteaseTag ™ Active NE Immunoassay: A Rapid Test for the Quantification of Neutrophil Elastas Levels in Patients

Oliver Carney, BMG LABTECH Ltd, Aylesbury, UK; Kelly Moffitt and Charlene Robb, ProAxsis, Belfast, Northern Ireland, 02/2016

The neutrophil elastase is a biomarker of respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A simple, rapid and accurate test for neutrophil elastase levels in patient samples would be a significant medical benefit. Established methods do not specifically verify the presence of the enzyme leading to a high value of false positives. In this application note we show how to use the ProteaseTag™ Active Neutrophil Elastase Immunoassay from the company ProAxsis which is based in Northern Ireland. 

The assay uses tags to specifically bind the enzyme of interest. Chromogenic detection is performed with the CLARIOstar® microplate reader which analysis the results and return qualified data automatically. 

Protease levels can be determined in sputum sol, bronchoalveolar lavage, wound exudate or serum free cell culture.
