Abstract Background Cerebrospinal fluid biomarker profiles characterized by decreased amyloid-beta peptide levels and increased total phosphorylated tau at threonine 181 (pT181) are currently used to discriminate between Alzheimer’s disease other neurodegenerative diseases. However, these changes not entirely specific disease, it is noteworthy that isoforms of tau, possibly more for the process, have been described in brain parenchyma patients. The precise detection biological fluids remains...

Microtubule-associated Tau proteins are major actors in neurological disorders, the so-called tauopathies. In some of them, and specifically Alzheimer's disease (AD), hyperphosphorylated forms aggregate into neurofibrillary tangles. Following understanding complexity Tau's molecular profile with its multiple isoforms post-translational modifications represent an important issue, a analytical challenge. Immunodetection methods are, fact, limited by number, specificity, sensitivity, capturing...

The toxin ricin is a biological weapon that may be used for bioterrorist purposes. As member of the group ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), has an A-chain possessing N-glycosidase activity which irreversibly inhibits protein synthesis. In this paper, we demonstrate provided appropriate sample preparation used, enzymatic can exploited functional detection with sensitivity similar to best ELISA and specificity allowing application environmental samples. Ricin first captured by monoclonal...

Administration of first-in-class anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody cetuximab is contingent upon extensive pharmacogenomic testing. However in addition to tumor genomics, drug exposure levels could play a critical, yet largely underestimated role, because several reports have demonstrated that pharmacokinetic parameters, particular clearance values, were associated with survival patients. Here, we developed an original bioanalytical method based the use LC-MS/MS technology and simplified sample...

Staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks are caused by the ingestion of contaminated with staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). Among 27 SEs described in literature to date, only a few can be detected using immuno-enzymatic-based methods that strongly dependent on availability antibodies. Liquid chromatography, coupled high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), has, therefore, been put forward as relevant complementary method, but for detection limited number enterotoxins. In this work,...
