  • Periodic Acid schiff s reagent assay for carbohydrates in a microtiter plate format
    Analytical Biochemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Michelle Kilcoyne, Jared Q. Gerlach, Mark Farrell, Veer P. Bhavanandan, Lokesh Joshi
    Abstract:

    Microtiter plate colorimetric assays are widely used for analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. However, mucins are often not easily detected, as they have low neutral sugar content. We have adapted and optimised the Periodic Acid-Schiff's reagent (PAS) staining for microtiter plate assay by examining five factors: concentration and volume of Periodic Acid, oxidation time, volume of Schiff's reagent, and color development time. This assay requires just 25 μl of sample, utilises standardised Schiff's reagent, and has decreased assay time (140 min to completion). Seventeen monosaccharides (Acidic, neutral, basic, phosphorylated, and deoxy) and four disaccharides were assessed. PAS-positive carbohydrates (amino, N-acetylamino, deoxy, and certain neutral monosaccharides, and sialic Acids) responded linearly within a 10-100 nmol range approximately, which varied for each carbohydrate. The assay response for fetuin and porcine gastric mucin (PGM) was linear up to 150 μg (highest concentration tested), with no response from nonglycosylated protein. A lower response for asialofetuin was observed, but desialylated PGM preparations were similar or higher in response than their sialylated counterparts. The simplicity and low sample consumption of this method make it an excellent choice for screening or quantitation of chromatographic fractions containing carbohydrates and glycoconjugates, especially in the case of mucins.

  • Calcium is required for the mitogenic activation of lymphocytes by Periodic Acid oxidation.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1992
    Co-Authors: Francis J. Hornicek, George I. Malinin, Theodore I. Malinin
    Abstract:

    Abstract This investigation of Ca 2+ requirements for the mitogenic activation of lymphocytes by Periodic Acid has shown that oxidation by periodate causes an immediate and transient increase of Ca 2+ influx and efflux in oxidized cells. Oxidized lymphocytes maintained in the medium containing 0.2 mM Ca 2+ failed to proliferate or to produce IL-2, whereas a 1.4 mM Ca 2+ concentration was shown to be sufficient to sustain cellular proliferation and IL-2 secretion. These results indicate that mitogenic activation of lymphocytes by Periodic Acid oxidation is Ca 2+ -dependent.
