Human and canine brain Thy-1 antigens were solubilized in deoxycholate and antigen activity was followed both by conventional absorbed anti-brain xenosera of proven specificity and by mouse monoclonal antibodies to canine and human Thy-1. It is shown that greater than 80% of Thy-1 activity in the dog and man binds to lentil lectin, that the mobility on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of canine and human Thy-1 is identical with that of rat Thy-1 and that the Stokes radius in deoxycholate of canine and human brain Thy-1 is 3.0 nm and 3.25 nm respectively. Both lentil lectin affinity chromatography followed by gel-filtration chromatography on the one hand and monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography on the other gave high degrees of purification of the brain Thy-1 molecule in the dog and man, resulting in single bands staining for both protein and carbohydrate on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (except for a slight contaminant of higher molecular weight staining for protein but not carbohydrate with human Thy-1 purified by lentil lectin and gel-filtration chromatography). Analysis of canine and human brain Thy-1 purified by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography with additional gel filtration through Sephadex G-200 showed that these molecules had respectively 38% and 36% carbohydrate. The amino acid and carbohydrate compositions were similar to those previously reported for Thy-1 of the rat and mouse, the main point of interest being the presence in canine and human brain Thy-1 of N-acetylgalactosamine, which has been reported in rat and mouse brain Thy-1 but not in Thy-1 from other tissues.

Theoretically, serological assays with affinity purified marker antigens can allow strain-specific diagnosis even when parasites cannot be retrieved from and infected host. A Trypanosoma cruzi antigen was purified by affinity chromatography using a zymodeme (Z) 2 specific monoclonal antibody (2E2C11). An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the purified antigen could discriminate between sera from rabbits immunized with T. cruzi zymodeme clones but could not discriminate between sera from mice infected with different zymodemes.

Abstract A method for the semiquantitative determination of ochratoxin A in green coffee has been studied collaboratively by 11 laboratories. The average recovery for the 7 samples spiked at 3 levels of ochratoxin A was 69.1%, ranging from 60.5 to 85.6%. This is comparable to other visual thin layer chromatographic methods of mycotoxin detection. The method has been adopted as official first action for the determination of ochratoxin A in green coffee beans.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of ochratoxin A in coffee beans (green and roast), instant coffee, and coffee drink is described. The sample is subjected to extraction with methanol-1% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (1 + 1) and C18 cartridge cleanup. The extract is chromatographed on a Nucleosil 5C18 column with a mobile solvent of acetonitrile-water-0.2M phosphate buffer pH 7.5 (50 + 47 + 3) containing 3mM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as an ionpair reagent. Ochratoxin A is detected with a fluoromcter (excitation 365 nm, emission 450 nm). The sensitivity was increased 20-fold by using ion-pair resolution. The detection limits corresponded to 2 μg/kg for coffee beans, 5 μg/kg for instant coffee, and 0.2 μg/kg for coffee drink. The recoveries from coffee products were generally better than 80.7% and the relative standard deviations were 3.43-5.93%. The peak coinciding with ochratoxin A can be confirmed by treatment using alcohol (methanol, ethanol, or n-propanol) and H2S04.
