Soybean (Glycine max) is the most used vegetarian protein source and a common ingredient of industrially produced foods. In addition to several nutritional health benefits, soybean classified as an allergenic source, affecting 0.2–0.4% allergic individuals worldwide. allergy can be persistent impact life quality soybean-sensitive patients, even causing severe reactions anaphylaxis. However, there no scientific consensus about classification major minor allergens, severity itself, risk...
Novel qualitative as well semiquantitative rapid strip tests for screening of T-2 mycotoxin in agricultural commodities were developed. Colloidal gold particles coated with monoclonal anti-T-2 antibodies and used detector reagent, indicating the test results by formation up to two colored lines a competitive assay format. The line comprises protein conjugate control an antispecies-specific antibody confirm correct development. To perform test, 5 g sample was extracted ratio 1:5...
Abstract Allergen detection and quantification is an essential part of allergen management as practiced by food manufacturers. Recently, protein MS methods (in particular, multiple reaction monitoring experiments) have begun to be adopted the community provide alternative technique ELISA PCR methods. analysis proteins in foods provides additional challenges analyst, both terms experimental design methodology: (1) choice analyte, including multiplexing simultaneously detect several...
Summary An analysis of fructan structures, to increase the understanding biosynthetic pathways and enzymology synthesis in root leaf tissues Lolium perenne is reported. Fructan extracted from stubble L. plants was analyzed by high performance anion exchange chromatography pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC‐PAD) using a new desalting technique. Structures isomers, separated up DP16 (DP, degree polymerization), were established chromatographic elution times or GC‐MS. Fructans DP8 belonged...
Auxiliary channel subunits regulate membrane expression and modulate current properties of voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels thus are involved in numerous important cell functions, including muscle contraction. Whereas the importance alpha(1S), beta(1a), gamma skeletal has been determined by using null-mutant mice, role alpha(2)delta-1 subunit is still elusive. We addressed this question small interfering RNA silencing reconstituted dysgenic (alpha(1S)-null) myotubes BC3H1 cells....
Auxiliary beta subunits modulate current properties and mediate the functional membrane expression of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in heterologous cells. In brain, all four isoforms are widely expressed, yet little is known about their specific roles neuronal functions. Here, we investigated targeting role Ca(V)1.2 alpha(1) cultured hippocampal neurons. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed equal expression, immunofluorescence a similar distribution endogenous throughout dendrites...
Herbivores generally have strong structural and compositional effects on vegetation, which in turn determines the plant forage species available. We investigated how selected large mammalian herbivore assemblages use alter herbaceous vegetation structure composition a southern African savanna adjacent to Kruger National Park, South Africa. compared mixed mono-specific of varying density similarities patterns under wildlife livestock herbivory. Grass differed significantly, standing biomass...
