BRET-based biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 oligonucleotide detection by Asfia Sultana (19170880)

“…Specifically, we designed BioODs against the SARS-CoV-2 parental (Wuhan strain) and B.1.617.2 Delta variant through the conjugation of specific, fluorescently modified molecular beacons (sensor module) through a complementary oligonucleotide handle DNA functionalized with the NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase protein such that the dissolution of the molecular beacon loop upon the binding of the viral oligonucleotide will result in a decrease in BRET efficiency and, thus, a change in the bioluminescence spectra. …”

Correlation of MPTP neurotoxicity in vivo with oxidation of MPTP by the brain and blood-brain barrier in vitro in five rat strains by Riachi, Naji J.

“…Despite the fact that the carotid route delivers much higher amounts of MPTP to the ipsilateral cerebrum than can be achieved by systemic injections, no significant dopamine depletion occured in ipsilateral striata of Sprague-Dawley rats (the most resistant strain), but significant reductions of about 40% in striatal dopamine were evident in the more sensitive strains. Decreased striatal dopamine levels in these latter rat strains were associated with increased dopamine turnover. …”
