Abstract: A construct is described that allows for detection and quantitation of membrane-bound polypeptides.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for displaying data captured via analog hardware means. Embodiments of the present invention are directed at visualizing data for the purpose of hardware development, hardware testing, and data analysis. In one embodiment, data analysis is directed at analyzing data received from bio-discs containing biological samples. Another embodiment is a development kit suitable for analyzing the responses received from an A/D card or equivalent hardware. The present invention offers a user interface for interacting with data displayed in linear, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and animated fashions. User can select data range, change display options, save the data, and view data with the help of various levels of zooming and scrolling. Various interpolation techniques are used to generate visually appealing data display when over zooming occurs.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for detecting mammalian muscle proteins and for distinguishing between mammalian muscle proteins and avian muscle proteins in a sample, such as animal feed. The compositions are ligands, such as antibodies and polynucleotides; antigens for the production of ligands; and kits containing the ligands. The methods include assays that employ the ligands for the detection of mammalian muscle proteins. Preferably, the ligands bind with specificity to mammalian troponin I fast twitch or slow twitch skeletal muscle proteins.
