Polystyrene microparticles are stabilizedcolloidal particles that possess a negative charge and are synthesized by thepolymerization of styrene under conditions that induce spontaneous coalescentbead formation. Due to their versatility, these beads can be used in antibody-mediatedagglutination diagnostics, electron microscopy, cell counter calibration, andphagocytosis experiments.
Application
Polystyrene latex beads have been used:
inthe flow cytometric assay of endothelial microparticles (EMPs)[1]
in thedetection of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) antibody/antigen latex agglutinationtest[2]
to evaluate the phagocytic activity in hemocytes of shrimps[3]
It is becoming increasingly apparent that Staphylococcus aureus are able to survive engulfment by macrophages, and that the intracellular environment of these host cells, which is essential to innate host defenses against invading microorganisms, may in fact provide a refuge
Recent research shows that visible-light responsive photocatalysts have potential usage in antimicrobial applications. However, the dynamic changes in the damage to photocatalyzed bacteria remain unclear. Facilitated by atomic force microscopy, this study analyzes the visible-light driven photocatalyst-mediated damage of Escherichia
