ELISA for quantification of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in human serum or plasma. Resource Report Resource Website |
Angel Justiz-Vaillant, Belkis Ferrer-Cosme | 10.17504/protocols.io.bj7akrie | University of the West Indies, [email protected] | The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was initially classified as a hematopoietic growth factor. Instead, in inflammation, GM-CSF serves as a network of communication between tissue-invading lymphocytes and myeloid cells. Even though lymphocytes are in all likelihood the instigators of chronic inflammatory disease, GM-CSF-activated phagocytes are equipped to cause tissue damage [1].Reference1. Becher B, Tugues S, Greter M. GM-CSF: From Growth Factor to Central Mediator of Tissue Inflammation.

Chicken immunization with KLH-gp120 fragment (254-274) conjugate. Resource Report Resource Website |
Angel Justiz-Vaillant | 10.17504/protocols.io.bjnjkmcn | University of the West Indies, [email protected] | Chicken immunization with peptides is inefective if only just the peptides are being inoculated. However, to make the immune response effective the fragment 254-274 of HIV-1 was conjugated with a carrier protein (KLH) that produced a critical immune response, assessed by ELISA, Immunoblot analysis and dot blot [1-4]. The Polson method (1990) can be used effectively to separate the IgY antibody from the egg yolk of immunized chickens [5].References1.

Angel Justiz-Vaillant, Belkis Ferrer-Cosme | 10.17504/protocols.io.bj69krh6 | University of the West Indies, [email protected] | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cell signaling cytokine involved in systemic inflammation.

Dot Blots Analysis in the Separation of Anti-HIV Antibodies. Resource Report Resource Website |
Angel Justiz-Vaillant | 10.17504/protocols.io.bjm4kk8w | University of the West Indies, [email protected] | Dot blot frequently is underutilized or is not frequently used because it cannot assess the molecular weight of macromolecules, but it is simple to perform and is useful when a particular biomolecule needs to be identified. In this protocol dot blot analysis is used for detection of anti-HIV antibody [1], and it is also available for determination or separation of any protein. It can be very useful in the immunodiagnosis of infectious diseases caused by viruses [1] and bacteria [2] and in addition for the determination of specific DNA sequences by using probes [3].
