The present investigation was designed to assess the credibility of methylbutynol (MBOH) as an infrared (IR) reactive probe molecule for surface acid base properties of metal oxides.
Using attachment of Yersinia sp. biofilms as a probe for the surface, we have found that bah-1 plays a role in determining the nematode's surface characteristics.
Since then TERS has rapidly progressed to become a non-destructive scanning probe microscopy tool for surface chemical characterisation [6], and opened up the opportunities to study single macro-molecules with sub-nm spatial resolution [7].
The monitoring system was composed of the following components: wind speed and direction gauge, a horizontal rainfall (HRF) gauge, three wall mounted wind-driven rain (WDR) gauges designed and manufactured as part of this study, in-wall temperature and relative humidity probes and thermocouples for surface temperature measurements.
Noble metal nanoparticles are widely used as probes or substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), due to their characteristic plasmon resonances in the visible and near-IR spectral ranges.
Receptor cell surface expression and total receptor expression was determined by flow cytometry using a fluorescence signal detected from cells pre-incubated with the fluorescent probe in the absence (For surface expression % and surface density values) or presence of a mild detergent (For total expression % and total density values), respectively.
Because GSH is constitutively secreted by mammalian cells but is not taken up by these cells, an arsenic probe for the cell-surface proteins could be developed by conjugating GSH to arsenic.
To quantify the glass bead injury-induced increase in the cell-surface level of the lysosomal protein LAMP1, we injured myoblasts in the presence of TRITC-dextran (causing red staining of injured cells) and then probed for cell-surface LAMP1 in live cells using an antibody specific for the luminal domain of LAMP1.
Primers and a probe for sequences of the surface gene of HBV were designed and quantification achieved by reference to standards containing known concentrations of the target sequence.
We observe, second on the ranking of all samples, a probe for CD40 (TNFRSF5, B-cell surface antigen CD40), BX381481 with a Spearman correlation of 0.7616.
