Inventor: HOWARD LAWRENCE VAUGHAN JR
IPC: G01N33/542
Filed: 1989-07-26
Granted: 1994-11-09
Abstract: In an assay where a ligand or organism is detected by a detector binding protein ("DBP") capable of generating a signal in proportion to the amount of ligand or organism bound to the DBP, the presence of the ligand or organism is confirmed by the use, prior to or concurrently with the DBP, of a confirmatory binding protein ("CBP") which binds to a second site on the ligand or organism, and thereby prevents the DBP from binding to the first site. Thus, a reduction in signal of a predetermined amount indicates the true presence of the ligand or organism, while failure to obtain signal reduction of a predetermined amount indicates that the original signal was a false positive due to assay artifact or detection of related ligands or organisms. In a preferred embodiment, the CBP is a monoclonal antibody and the organism is derived from Chlamydia species.

Inventor: TSIEN ROGER YONCHIEN
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1989-11-14
Granted: 1996-02-21
Abstract: The invention discloses fluorescent chelator compounds that are especially useful to monitor and measure cytosolic concentrations of alkali metal cations such as Na<+>, K<+>, and Li<+>. The new compounds are comprised of: (1) crown ethers (that may or may not have substituent groups attached to the core carbons, but will always contain at least one core nitrogen) that are linked via the core nitrogen(s) to at least one (2) fluorophore that contains an additional heteroaromatic liganding center. In the currently preferred dye, SBFI, the core compound is crown ether 1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trioxacyclopentadecane and the heteroaromatic fluorophores are benzofurans that are linked to isophthalate groups. Selectivities for Na<+> over K<+> of about 20 are observed, resulting in effective dissociation constants for Na<+> of about 20 mM against a background of 120 mM K<+>. Increasing [Na<+>] increases the ratio of excitation efficiency at 330-345 nm to that at 370-390 nm with emission collected at 450-550 nm, so that ratio fluorometry and imaging work at the same wavelengths as used with the well-known Ca<2><+> indicator fura-2. If the macrocyclic ring is increased in size to a 1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane, the chelators become selective for K<+> over Na<+>. If the ring is decreased in size, for example to a 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane, the chelators become selective for Li<+> over Na<+>.
