  • Patent number: 12227545
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a Acinetobacter baumannii immunogenic protein and its composition and application. This invention provides a protein, comprising 39 amino acids of the N-terminal ?-helix part of the Ata protein transport functional domain of Acinetobacter baumannii and an adjuvant protein; amino acid sequence of said 39 amino acids of the N-terminal ?-helix part of the Ata protein transport functional domain of Acinetobacter baumannii is shown as the 127th-165th amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:2. In present invention the 39 amino acids of the N-terminal ?-helix part of surface protein Ata (Acinetobacter trimeric autotransporter) of Acinetobacter baumannii, was took to fuse with CTB, and express in BL21. The protein was purified by a nickel column, and used to intraperitoneally immunize mouses by 2.5 ?g/mouse. Its immunogenicity and immunoprotection was verified through the animal experiments, which proves it has a good effect of anti-infection of Acinetobacter baumannii.

  • Patent number: 12209943
    Abstract: An isolated cell membrane potential detection system can measure a cell membrane current change when light having different parameters such as wavelength, energy density, pulse width, and repetition rate stimulates a cell to be detected, to detect whether the biological electrical activity of the cell can be regulated by light, and to detect the specificity of the light regulation parameters of the cell. In the light regulation cell membrane potential detection system, a method of progressively adjusting and detecting with multiple optical parameters from small to large is used to measure a cell membrane current change in different periods under a certain photostimulation parameter for each group of cells, so as to quickly and efficiently detect which type of optical signal can regulate the characteristics of the cell such as the generation of a membrane current, photostimulation parameter specificity, and an energy threshold.
