Background: Folate is an important substance used for purine and pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis. One measurement of folate that already establishes is using ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method. Folate binding protein is a protein that can bind folate, therefore it considered can be used as a tool that can replace antibody dependent ELISA method.Objectives: The aim of this research was to create a method for folate measurement in serum called Enzyme-labeled protein ligand binding assay (ELPLBA) by replacing antibody as used in ELISA method with folate binding protein (FBP) that purified from the whey of milk.Methods: The method is tested using 20 serum samples and compared to ELISA. Folate binding protein was purified from bovine’s milk using ammonium sulfate up to 90% saturated, DEAE-cellulose anion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE and western blot were used to establish the protein band of FBP that has molecular weight of ~25-35 kDa. ELPLBA was arranged with stationary phase using aminohexyl-agarose, and folic acid linked on it using carbodiimide.Results: The result show there was no significant difference of folate concentration between ELPLBA (14.804 ± 2.795) and ELISA method (13.859 ± 3.638), p = 0.363.Conclusion:  ELPLBA method show similarity for determination of folate in serum which was the same as standard folate measurement (ELISA).

Treponema lecithinolyticum is associated with periodontitis and endodontic infections. As a critical early step in the infection process, fibronectin-binding protein (Fbp) is known to be involved in the adhesion of bacteria to cell surfaces for colonization and, hence, is considered to be a virulence factor. In this study, we identified an Fbp from the T. lecithinolyticum cell surface with a molecular mass of about 52 kDa by using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by a ligand binding assay. As T. lecithinolyticum is capable of binding to soluble and immobilized fibronectin, this Fbp may contribute to bacterial attachment to host cells.

Fluorescence polarization is one of the most commonly used homogeneous assay principles in drug discovery for screening of potential lead compounds. In this article, the fluorescence polarization technique is combined with 2-photon excitation of fluorescence. Theoretically, the use of 2-photon excitation of fluorescence increases the volumetric sensitivity and polarization contrast of fluorescence polarization assays. The work in this report demonstrates these predictions for an estrogen receptor ligand binding assay.
