Functional Analyses of Single Nucleotide Polymorphic Variants of the DNA Glycosylase NEIL1 Present in sub-Saharan African Populations

July 20, 2023
Author(s)
Jamie Zuckerman, Irina Minko, Melis Kant, Pawel Jaruga, Miral M. Dizdar, Amanda McCullough, R. Stephen Lloyd
Nei-like glycosylase 1 (NEIL1) is a DNA repair enzyme that initiates the base excision repair (BER) pathway to cleanse the human genome of damage. Its substrate specificity includes several common base modifications formed under oxidative stress conditions

Stephen Wise, Grace Hahm, Carolyn Burdette, Susan Tai, Johanna Camara, Adam Kuszak, Emma Williams
Ninety archived human serum samples from the Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme (DEQAS) were analyzed using a reference measurement procedure (RMP) based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (ID LC-MS/MS) for the

Rapid Production and Free Distribution of a Synthetic RNA Material to Support SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Diagnostic Testing

May 3, 2023
Author(s)
Megan Cleveland, Erica Romsos, Becky Steffen, Nathanael David Olson, Stephanie Servetas, William Valiant, Peter Vallone
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released a synthetic RNA material for SARS-CoV-2 in June 2020. The goal was to rapidly produce a material to support molecular diagnostic testing applications. This

Production, purification and characterization of 15N5-labeled cis- and trans-aflatoxin B1-formamidopyrimidines, and aflatoxin B1-N7-guanine as internal standards for mass spectrometric measurements

April 11, 2023
Author(s)
Pawel Jaruga, Melis Kant, Miral M. Dizdar, Rachana Tomar, Vladimir Vartanian, Benjamin Sexton, Carmelo Rizzo, Robert Turesky, Michael Stone, R. Stephen Lloyd
Exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) through contaminated food is a primary contributor to the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinogenesis worldwide. Hepatitis B viral infections in livers dramatically increase the carcinogenic potency of AFB1 exposures. Liver

Calibration Stability of Data Loggers Used for Vaccine Temperature Monitoring

March 6, 2023
Author(s)
Michal J. Chojnacky, Sam Smith, Bethany Rodman, Tobias Herman
Continuous temperature monitoring of vaccines during distribution and storage is critical to ensuring vaccination efficacy. Exposure to inappropriate storage temperatures can degrade vaccine potency, putting products and patients at risk if excursions go
