• Homogeneous IgG AlphaLISA® assay performed on BMG LABTECH's PHERAstar Plus
  

  Immunoglobulins or antibodies are proteins that are involved in the immune response. That makes them interesting drug targets. This application note shows the detection of the immunoglobulin IgG using an AlphaLISA® assay performed on BMG LABTECH's PHERAstar Plus. The AlphaLISA® technology utilizes oxygen to start a cascade of chemical reactions resulting in a luminescence signal at 615 nm. Sensitivity and Z´values obtained in different plate formats are presented. more

• Detection of Avian H5N1 Virus with the LightCycler® Instrument
  

  The avian H5N1 influenza virus has killed thousands of birds and caused several fatal cases in humans in Asia and Turkey. A fast and reliable test to identify the virus is urgently required for an effective epedemiological control, and associated medical research activities. RNA viruses mutate easily. Thus, detection has to focus on conserved sequence regions. The preferred gene for the detection of a broad spectrum of influenza A virus variants is the matrix protein (M2) gene. Tests for the specific detection of the H5N1 virus must detect its hemagglutinin (H5) and neuraminidase (N1) genes. more
