Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to polypeptides, including fusions thereof, nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, immunodiagnostic reagents, kits, and immunoassays for use detecting the presence of HCV antibodies. More specifically, the present invention describes specific NS3 antigens that can be used for the detection of anti-HCV antibodies.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for analyte analysis using a nanopore are disclosed. The methods, devices, and systems utilize a first and a second binding member that each specifically bind to an analyte in a biological sample. The method further includes detecting and/or counting a cleavable tag attached to the second binding member and correlating the presence and/or the number of tags to presence and/or concentration of the analyte. Certain aspects of the methods do not involve a tag, rather the second binding member may be directly detected/quantitated. The detecting and/or counting may be performed by translocating the tag/second binding member through a nanopore. Devices and systems that are programmed to carry out the disclosed methods are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to combination immunoassays, reagents and kits for simultaneous detection of HCV antigens and anti-HCV antibodies in a test sample.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods of analyzing an analyte of interest in a biological sample using fluorescent agents and macroconjugates which comprise a core containing a cross-linked polymer or protein, tags, specific binding members or fragments thereof, and optionally carrier proteins. Also provided are methods of analyzing two or more analytes of interest in a biological sample in a single assay using microparticles and detection conjugates comprising different fluorophore labels, acquiring transmitted light and fluorescent images of the microparticles, and using a customized image analysis process to analyze the acquired images.
