About the Electrospray Ionization Source in Mass Spectrometry: Electrochemistry and On-chip Reactions

Hubert Girault, Joël Stéphane Rossier, Christophe Roussel, Niels Erik Lion, Bin Su, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Michel Prudent

The present work shows that the electrochemical properties of electrospray ionization (ESI) can be used to add functions to the process. As example, we show how the choice of the electrode material can be used to study interactions between metal ions and b ...

Microparticles in stored red blood cells: an approach using flow cytometry and proteomic tools

Niels Erik Lion

Background and Objectives Microparticles (MPs) are small phospholipid vesicles of less than 1 mu m, shed in blood flow by various cell types. These MPs are involved in several biological processes and diseases. MPs have also been detected in blood products ...

Salt Removal During Off-GelTM Electrophoresis of Protein Samples

Hubert Girault, Christophe Roussel, Niels Erik Lion

The Off-Gel™ technology was recently described for protein fractionation in a solution placed on top of an immobilized pH gradient gel. In addition, this process was found to remove salts from the biological samples to analyze. This desalting effect is stu ...

Molecular screening of cancer-derived exosomes by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy

Horst Arthur Vogel, Niels Erik Lion, Michel Prudent, Davide Demurtas, Romain Wyss, Luigino Grasso

We report on a generic method to detect and iden- tify the molecular profile of exosomes either derived from cultured cell lines or isolated from biofluids. Exosomes are nanovesicles shed by cells into their microenvironment and carry the molecular identit ...

The antioxidant capacity of erythrocyte concentrates is increased during the first week of storage and correlated with the uric acid level

Hubert Girault, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Niels Erik Lion, Michel Prudent, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background and Objectives: Red blood cells (RBCs) suffer from lesions during cold storage, depending in part on their ability to counterbalance oxidative stress by activating their antioxidant defence. The aim of this study was to monitor the antioxidant p ...
