Nematode glutamate-gated chloride channels are targets of the macrocyclic lactones, the
most important group of anthelmintics available. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, channels formed …

We describe ion current rectification using a Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIM) based
on Tröger's base (PIM-EA-TB). When deposited asymmetrically over one (or more) 20 μm …

High density neuronal cultures from rat E18 hippocampus and cortex have been characterised
with respect to cholinergic binding sites. No specific binding of [ 3 H]nicotine or [ 3 H]…

A dessert matrix previously used for diagnosis of food allergies was incurred with pasteurised
egg white or skimmed milk powder at 3, 6, 15 and 30 mg allergen protein per kg of dessert …

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of chronic treatment (for 4 or 7 days) with
nicotinic drugs and 20 mM KCl on numbers of surface α7 nicotinic AChR, identified by [ 125 I]‐…

Peanut is an important food allergen, but it cannot currently be reliably detected and quantified
in processed foods at low levels. A level of 3 mg protein/kg is increasingly being used as …

In this work, a monoclonal antibody called G12, raised against the most immunotoxic peptide
to celiac disease patients, was used to develop a sandwich ELISA. Preliminary results on …

Until recently, analytical tests for food were performed primarily in laboratories, but technical
developments now enable consumers to use devices to test their food at home or when …

Ionic transport (for applications in nanofluidics or membranes) and “ionic diode” phenomena
in a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) are investigated by directly growing the …

Introduction Food hypersensitivity (FHS), including food allergy, coeliac disease and food
intolerance, is a major public health issue. The Food Standards Agency (FSA), an independent …
