It is widely held that determination of increased levels of serum autoantibodies can play an important role in the diagnosis and, in some cases, management of many autoimmune diseases. It is also widely held that such testing is fraught with problems

2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyA), are formed abundantly in DNA of cultured cells or tissues exposed to ionizing radiation or to other free radical-generating systems. We show here that FapyG

Treatments that obdurate dentin tubules have been used for reducing dentin hypersensitivity. This study was to determine the effect of a treatment with a slurry of micron sized calcium phosphate on the hydraulic conductance (Lp) of etched dentin discs in
DNA has become a major target for clinical laboratory testing over the past 5 years, and RNA testing is emerging for infectious disease and gene expression (1). To normalize laboratory results across different technology platforms as well as between

Federal agencies, academia and industries have invested heavily in the development of structural and biothermodynamics data. However, the data are still largely distributed over several public and private archives leading to issues of inadequate
The Symposium on Metrology and Standards for Cell Signaling: Impact on Tissue Engineering, was held at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) on October 14-15, 2003. The purpose of the symposium, which was co-sponsored by NIST and ASTM

Background: Currently, there are many different real-time amplification platforms. However, the results of DNA measurements from experiments performed on different platforms are not necessarily comparable and results may not be repeatable within

Over the past 10 years, DNA testing to identify disease associated mutations and specific organisms, which represent public health and safety concerns, have become major targets for laboratory testing. RNA testing is also emerging for gene expression, both
Both infrared and Raman are increasingly applied in biomolecular structure characterization, thus getting acceptance alongside traditional bioanalytical techniques. Physical principles and biological sampling requirements are reviewed. Advanced

We measured absorption and emission spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, anisotropy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and melting temperature to characterize fluorescein- and tetramethyIrhodamine (TMR)-labeled oligonucleotides in solution and
