Direct Immunofluorescence or Indirect Immunofluorescence Detection

 Direct and indirect methods are not limited to immunofluorescence, they are also related to other technologies that rely on fluorescent dyes, enzymes or colored particles coupled to antibodies, such as flow cytometry, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry.

But these two methods are different. As shown in the table below, both methods have their pros and cons:

▲ The direct labeling method uses only one antibody, and the indirect labeling method uses two antibodies

If you have a direct-labeled primary antibody (fluorescein-labeled antibody) against the antigen to be tested, and the abundance of your antigen to be tested is also relatively high, it is not impossible to do the direct method. However, if you do not meet the above two conditions, it is recommended that you do the indirect method.

For example, cytoskeleton protein can be detected by direct immunofluorescence method; if the protein expression is relatively low, direct method detection is more difficult, and a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody needs to be used for signal amplification for detection.

A Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkylation of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides for Sp3-Sp2 Bond Formation

  In 2012, a nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation method of aryl bromides and chlorides was reported. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides as well as active aryl chloride can be reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. The protocols were highly functional-group tolerant and the reactions were not air or moisture sensitive. The reaction showed different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions. Substrates bearing both anelectrophilic and nucleophilic carbon resulted in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction occurred at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]). The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and in the past decade the progress in cross-coupling has not only had a significant impact on academic research but has also influenced the industrial synthetic application. The transition-metal-catalyzed union of nucleophilic organo-boronic acids with elect...

What is Toxicokinetics?

Toxicokinetics  is essentially the study of “how a substance gets into the body and what happens to it in the body”. Four processes are involved in toxicokinetics. The study of the kinetics (movement) of chemicals was originally conducted with pharmaceuticals and thus the term pharmacokinetics became commonly used. In addition, toxicology studies were initially conducted with drugs. However, the science of toxicology has evolved to include environmental and occupational chemicals as well as drugs. Toxicokinetics is thus the appropriate term for the study of the kinetics of all toxic substances. Frequently the terms  toxicokinetics ,  pharmacokinetics , or disposition may be found in the literature to have the same meaning. Disposition is often used in place of toxicokinetics to describe the time-course of movement of chemicals through the body (that is, how does the body dispose of a xenobiotic?). The disposition of a toxicant along with its’ biological reactivi...
