Toward a deeper understanding of dengue: novel method for quantification and isolation of envelope protein epitope-specific antibodies by Sokchea Lay, Candice Bohaud, Sopheak Sorn, Sreymom Ken, Felix A. Rey, Kevin K. Ariën, Sowath Ly, Veasna Duong, Giovanna Barba-Spaeth, Heidi Auerswald, Tineke Cantaert

“…Our study addresses this gap by introducing a refined multiplex microsphere-based immunoassay (MIA) to quantify and isolate antibodies (Abs) targeting specific E-protein epitopes, such as E domain III (EDIII), the fusion loop (FL), and the sE-dimer specific Abs. This method provides detailed epitope-specific Ab profiling with high sensitivity and requires minimal sample volumes. …”

Measurement of Cl− : Br− Ratios in the Porewater of Clay-Rich Rocks—A Comparison of the Crush-and-Leach and the Paper-Absorption Methods by Magda Celejewski, David Barton, Tom Al

“…The observed differences in Cl− : Br− ratios are attributed primarily to anion exclusion effects which are stronger for Br− than for Cl−, resulting in higher Br− concentrations in the largest pores that are preferentially sampled by the paper-absorption technique. In addition, calculations suggest that Cl− is more effective than Br− in forming ion pairs and clusters with neutral or positive charge which can enter the diffuse double layer. …”
