OF CARBOHYDRATES
Peter Gwynfor R Williams, Jackson, Castletown, United Kingdom assigned to Astroscan Ltd A carbohydrate structure, possibly in the form of or derived from a glycoprotein or glycolipide, is analyzed by decomposing the structure into various constituent fragments, separating the fragments and viewing light from the separated fragments using a charge coupled device (CCD). Carbohydrate units can be distinguished or separated by gel electrophoresis, e.g. using a relatively dense polyacrylamide gel run using a stacking buffer system. The two aspects can be used separately or in combination.

ABSTRACTS
SYSTEM
Hide Suzuki, Nobutaka Kaneko, Akihiko Yamamoto. Sadahiro Watanabe, Hachioji, Japan assigned to Olympus Optical Co Ltd In an electrophoresis system, a specimen is analyzed on the basis of a division image obtained by applying the specimen on a substrate and causing an electrophoresis phenomenon to occur. The electrophoresis system comprises a refractometer for measuring the total protein amount of said specimen, a mechanism for applying the specimen onto the head surface of the refractometer, a mechanism for cleaning the head surface of the refractometer, and memory and processing sections for storing the measured data and performing the arithmetic processing with the data obtained on the basis of the division image.

The invention relates to a separating material for chromatography in which cyclodextrin is bonded to a support via a carbamic acid group.
5194789 MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES WHICH DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN STRAINS OF CITRUS TRISTEZA VIRUS Thomas A Permar, Stephen Garnsey assigned to The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture Monoclonal cell lines producing antibodies to severe citrus tristeza virus have been developed. The antibodies react with crude plant extracts infected with severe isolates, but not with crude plant extracts infected with mild isolaates or healthy plant tissue. This immunological probe has been utilized in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays as a rapid technique for identifying citrus infected with severe isolates of CTV. Field tests on recently planted trees in a commercial citrus grove have verified the effectiveness of the immunoassay.
5194791 PARTICLE COUNTING NUCLEIC ACID HYBRIDIZATION ASSAYS Scot D Abbott, Richard C Ebersole assigned to E I Du Pont de Nemours and Company An improved nucleic acid hybridization assay, relying on particle counting, is provided. Presence and quantity of target nucleic acid is determined by detecting, upon hybridization, signals associated with particle aggregation or coincident signals from particles and reporters.
