Characterization of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to bovine enteric coronavirus: Establishment of an efficient ELISA for antigen detection in feces [PDF]
Monoclonal antibodies to bovine enteric coronavirus (BEC) were produced. Additionally, polyclonal antibodies were made in rabbits and guinea pigs and extracted from the yolk of immunized hens.

Optimisation of the enzyme-linked lectin assay for enhanced glycoprotein and glycoconjugate analysis [PDF]
Lectin’s are proteins capable of recognising and binding to specific oligosaccharide tructures found on glycoproteins and other biomoloecules. As such they have found tility for glycoanalytical applications.

Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

Comparison of rapid laboratory tests for failure of passive transfer in the bovine [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground Failure of passive transfer of maternal immunity via colostrum can occur in the bovine, and a number of blood tests have been developed to test calves for this failure. It is not clear which test is most suitable for this purpose.

Salt‐Compact Albumin as a New Pure Protein‐based Biomaterials: From Design to In Vivo Studies
A new class of materials built entirely of native albumin protein is designed using a simple protocol based on salt‐assisted compaction, breaking with current crosslinking strategies. This green process leads, surprisingly, to water‐insoluble handable materials with high preservation of their native protein structures and Young's modulus close to that ...

Plasmonic molecular entrapment (PME) is label‐free detection and quantification method for DNA methylation. This technique provides direct hotspot site generation around target analytes, overcoming mismatch geometrical properties. The PME demonstrates superior SERS performance and quantification capability, offering promising potential for epigenetic ...
