Deconvolution of polyclonal hepatitis C virus-specific neutralizing antibodies in plasma
Unmet Need: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver cancer worldwide. Although treatments have been developed, these drugs do not protect against reinfection and are often cost prohibitive to patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of an effective HCV vaccine. There is currently no efficient method to assess antibody...

Ratiometric Fluorescence Coding Method for Multiplex Nucleic Acid Amplification Assays
Unmet NeedNucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) is a powerful analytic method that involves the amplification of genetic material, DNA or RNA, for the detection and identification of infectious microbial and viral pathogens like HIV, hepatitis B and C, as well as, oncogene mutations and genetic disorders.  One example of its global importance is...

Engineered pH-sensitive protein switches
Here we show that a single charge buried in a hydrophobic environment in a protein can stabilize a partially folded protein. This suggests a strategy that will greatly facilitate the study of structural and thermodynamic properties of protein folding intermediates, and also suggests how buried ionizable groups can be used to engineer artificial pH sensing...
