  1. FYS4250 Lecture 10 ”Once a scout always a scout!”

  2. Case 10 http://www.scout.org/var/corporate_site/storage/images/media/images/global/scouts_clearing_branches/77993-1-eng-GB/scouts_clearing_branches_imagelarge.jpg • A 15 year scout boy is complaining of a 6-8 days of fever, fatigue, muscle pain (myalgias), joint pain (arthralgias) and intermittent headaches. He believes he has got the “flu”….

  3. Case 10 • The boy has a height of 172 cm, a weight of 61 kg, and increasing pain in the back and the face. When he woke up this morning he became aware of a weakness in the left side of his face. He has no abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhea, urinary symptoms, cough, nuchal rigidity, sore troat or any other symptoms. • On physical examination, his temperature is 37.9 °C, the heart rate is 84 bpm, and the blood pressure is 132/67 mmHg. He is talkative, informed, and with a clear conjunctivae. He has a hint of drooping of the left corner of his mouth and a light inability to lift his left eyebrow. There are no heart murmurs or liver or splenic enlargement, and except for the facial weakness, there are no focal neurologic deficits What is the most likely diagnosis and what to do?

  4. Laboratory technology How to find the unknown substance in your specimen http://www.saiman.co.uk/assets/images/new-gc-kronus-image.jpg

  5. Laboratory technology The main methods for finding substances in a liquid: - Spechtrophotometry - Flame emission/absorption - Fluorometry - Gas/Liquid chromatography - Electrophoresis - Coulter counter - Mass spectrometry http://www.saiman.co.uk/assets/images/new-gc-kronus-image.jpg

  18. Case 10 • The PCR-results for neurotrope viruses (herpes simplex and zoster, enterovirus), mycoplasma and borrelia IgG/IgM were all negative, and antiglutamate and GQ1Bas as well. However, his condition is not improved, even after a week of rest and hospital care. After eight days he gets worse and is transferred to a university hospital in the capital. What would you do now?

  19. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) • A DNA copying machine

  20. Cellular composition • Source: Todd Rightmire, mt Baker High School DNA is located in the cell nucleus

  21. Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) • A double helix built of nucleotides, connected to long chains • Base pairs of Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C). Guanine will always combine with Cytosine, and Thymine will always bind with Adenine. • Backbone contains sugar-phosphate • Each triplet of ATGC codes for a certain amino acid that will build a protein • The genetic code is determined of the order of the nitrogenbases in the DNA-chain, the so called genetic code

  22. Ribo Nucleic Acid (RNA) • DNA contains all the necessary information for protein synthesis, but the job is done in the ribosomes • DNA molecules are too big to penetrate the nucleus-membrane, transcription gives m-RNA that can move freely into cytosol • RNA is an information transference of the DNA into the ribosomes where amino acids are connected to form proteins • ACG are the same as for DNA, but thymin is replaced with Uracil (U) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Difference_DNA_RNA-EN.svg/749px-Difference_DNA_RNA-EN.svg.png

  23. M-RNA syntesis • The two DNA-chains are separated in order to release the nitrogen bases. RNA polymerase binds free ribonucleotides complementary to the nucleotides in the DNA-chain • Each triplet in DNA gives a complementary triplett in m-RNA • At the start of each gene there is a promotor defining the starting point of the polymerase • t-RNA connects to specific amino-acids and if the m-RNA code is matched, this can be used by the ribosome for decoding the m-RNA and building chains of amino acids http://meyerbio1b.wikispaces.com/file/view/transcription.jpg/72711585/transcription.jpg

  24. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • Duplicates DNA to amplify the same reaction (chain reaction), results in very rapid increase in the wanted product. • Performes the replication of DNA in vitro • Discovered by Kary Mullis (Nobel Prize, 1993)

  25. The three cycles of PCR Palumbi: The simple fool’s guide to PCR

  26. Denaturation - Renaturation • Separating the double helix DNA by applying heat = Denaturation • Careful cooling anneals the helix = renaturation • All DNA becomes single strands

  27. Annealing • In order to bind to each of the complementary regions, two primers are supplied in molar excess • Temperature is lowered to allow primers to anneal. (Too low temperature will allow randomly annealing, too high temperature will avoid any binding at all) • Typically temperature between 40 – 60 degrees C

  28. Extension • DNA polymerase duplicates DNA, typically between 72-75°C for maximal polymerase function. • Polymerase must add nucleotides to the 3’ end of the primer sequence annealed to the template DNA • Primers are critical for the initiation of the reaction

  29. PCR amplification

  30. Problem with traditional PCR? • What is the main problem with traditional PCR? Answer: There is no quantification of the wanted sequence

  31. qPCR or realtime PCR

  35. Advantages and disadvantages with PCR Adv: - Extremely sensitive, can amplify the DNA of interest from one single cell (Even for old, degraded DNA) Disadvantage: - The sensitivity. If contamined, the contaminated DNA will also be amplified.

  36. Mass spectroscopy Ionization Separation Detection

  37. Mass spectrometry

  38. Combination of gas chromatography mass spectrometry

  39. Analysis by GC-MS GC MS Mixture Separation Identification B m/z A m/z C m/z A + B + C B A C 39 Charlotta Nylander, NILU

  40. Electron impact ionization (EI) Bombardment with high-energy electrons, typically 70 eV. Due to collision, an electron is removed from the analytes (M), which results in a molecular ion M+. M + e -> M+ + 2e-

  41. Quadropole mass spectrometers • 4 cylindrical rods in parallell, ions are sent into the space between the four rods • A current field is applied to two rods and a radio frequency to the two others. This generates an electric field that the ions will go through • Only ions with a specific mass and charge are able to pass through the rods for each given DC/RF potential and reach the detector on the other side. All others will collide or change direction and thus miss the detector http://ael.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/saturn/quadrupole.jpg http://www.bris.ac.uk/nerclsmsf/images/quadrupole.gif

  42. Time of flight (TOF) - High resolution - Heavier ions require more time to travel a fixed distance, TOF will separate ions with the same kinetic energy but different mass/charge because the heavier the ion, the more time it will need to travel the distance http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/ms/images/tof-schematic.gif

  43. Detector – Continuous Dynode EM • Each ion will release two electrons that is accelerated and will release 4 electrons on the next impact and so on. The resulting current is proportional to the amount of analyte in the sample • Advantage: Quick response, high sensitivity • Drawback: Limited lifetime depending on the number of ions hitting the device. Watson, Introduction to Mass Spectrometry, 4th ed

  44. Scan mode or SIM mode • There are two options: Look for a single ion (SIM) or perform a wide scan (SM). • Scan mode means that the mass filter is adjusted to allow a wide range of masses pass through. A spectrum is obtained for all the different masses • Scan mode is less sensitive due to the loss of ions in the quadropole rods • Sim mode increases sensitivity and is typically used for quantitative analysis • In SIM mode, you need to know the desired specimen that should be monitored

  45. Advantages and disadvantages with MS advantages: - Relatively fast process - Small sample size - Can differentiate between isotopes Disadvantages: - No directly structural information (can often be derived though) - Only for pure compounds - Non-volatile compunds are difficult, only gas-phase ions are accepted - destructive technique

  46. Case 10 • An MR-caput and a totalcolumna showed pathological contrast loadings in several nerves and neural roots. EMG and neurography showed polyradiculitis (inflammation-like changes or other injuries in the neural roots to the nerves from the spinal cord), but untypical for Guillain-Barré. Several cerebrospinalfluid-tests are ordered and the boy is readmitted to his local hospital with the diagnosis polyneuropathy. Then one of the CSF-tests turned out to be positive, and the treatment was increased with macrolide antibiotics and three doses of intravenous immunoglobulines. After a few days, the patient is discharged from hospital, and after a few more weeks he is fully rehabilitated.
