Serum antiglycan antibody detection of nonmucinous ovarian cancers by using a printed glycan array

Darlene Goldstein

Epithelial ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. Altered glycosylation is associated with oncogenic transformation producing tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens. We investigated the potential of natural occurring ant ...

Separation of platelets from other blood cells in continuous-flow by dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Raphaël Tornay

We present a microfluidic device capable of separating platelets from other blood cells in continuous flow using dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation. The use of hydrodynamic focusing in combination with the application of a dielectrophoretic force a ...

Recognition and classification of red blood cells using digital holographic microscopy and data clustering with discriminant analysis

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

We propose to apply statistical clustering algorithms on a three-dimensional profile of red blood cells (RBCs) obtained through digital holographic microscopy (DHM). We show that two classes of RBCs stored for 14 and 38 days can be effectively classified. ...

Cell viability assessment by flow cytometry using yeast as cell model

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Raphaël Tornay, Nina Buffi

This paper reports the new combination of cell sorting and counting capabilities on a single device. Most state-of-the-art devices combining these technologies use optical techniques requiring complicated experimental setups and labeled samples. The use of ...

Plasmodium falciparum NIMA-related kinase Pfnek-1: sex specificity and assessment of essentiality for the erythrocytic asexual cycle

The Plasmodium falciparum kinome includes a family of four protein kinases (Pfnek-1 to -4) related to the NIMA (never-in-mitosis) family, members of which play important roles in mitosis and meiosis in eukaryotic cells. Only one of these, Pfnek-1, which we ...

Comparison of printed glycan array, suspension array and ELISA in the detection of human anti-glycan antibodies

Darlene Goldstein

Anti-glycan antibodies represent a vast and yet insufficiently investigated subpopulation of naturally occurring and adaptive antibodies in humans. Recently, a variety of glycan-based microarrays emerged, allowing high-throughput profiling of a large reper ...

Stored red blood cells: A changing universe waiting for its map(s)

Niels Erik Lion, David Crettaz, Olivier Rubin

The availability of stored red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion remains an important aspect of the treatment of polytrauma, acute anemia or major bleedings. RBCs are prepared by blood banks from whole blood donations and stored in the cold in additive so ...

Exploring red blood cell membrane dynamics with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Daniel Boss

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) has been used to investigate the spontaneous cell membrane fluctuations (CMF) of the Red Blood Cell. DHM as an interferometric technique is able to accurately provide the wavefront deformation induced by a transparent s ...
