Enzymes, proteins, antibodies, biologically active peptides and other protein derivatives have long been used in medicinal agents. Modem biotechnology opened horizons to create new processes and products. For example insulin, interferon and other medical proteins are now being produced commercially by genetic engineering. 

All the long-range forces discussed in this chapter play a role in biological processes. Interactions between membranes, proteins, ligands, antibodies... 

Potcntiomctric Biosensors Potentiometric electrodes for the analysis of molecules of biochemical importance can be constructed in a fashion similar to that used for gas-sensing electrodes. The most common class of potentiometric biosensors are the so-called enzyme electrodes, in which an enzyme is trapped or immobilized at the surface of an ion-selective electrode. Reaction of the analyte with the enzyme produces a product whose concentration is monitored by the ion-selective electrode. Potentiometric biosensors have also been designed around other biologically active species, including antibodies, bacterial particles, tissue, and hormone receptors. 

Other biomedical and biological appHcations of mictocapsules continue to be developed. For example, the encapsulation of enzymes continues to attract interest even though loss of enzyme activity due to harshness of the encapsulation protocols used has been a persistent problem (59). The use of mictocapsules in antibody hormone immunoassays has been reviewed (60). The encapsulation of hemoglobin as a ted blood substitute has received much attention because of AIDS and blood transfusions (61). 

This drug also is reported to activate macrophages, to iaduce polyclonal B-ceU activation as well as enhance specific antibody production m vivo, and to iaduce the synthesis of iaterferon and interleukin 1 (52). The iaduction of these important cytokiaes (and others) largely accounts for the profile of biological activity displayed by the pyrimidinones. Bropirimine is currentiy ia clinical evaluation for cancer, arthritis, and immunorestoration ia AIDS patients. 

Radiotracers have also been used extensively for the quantitative rnicrodeterrnination of blood semm levels of hormones (qv), proteins, neurotransmitters, and other physiologically important compounds. Radioimmunoassay, which involves the competition of a known quantity of radiolabeled tracer, usually I or H, with the unknown quantity of semm component for binding to a specific antibody that has been raised against the component to be deterrnined, is used in the rnicro deterrnination of physiologically active materials in biological samples (see Immunoassay). 

Mammalian Cells Unlike microbial cells, mammalian cells do not continue to reproduce forever. Cancerous cells have lost this natural timing that leads to death after a few dozen generations and continue to multiply indefinitely. Hybridoma cells from the fusion of two mammalian lymphoid cells, one cancerous and the other normal, are important for mammalian cell culture. They produce monoclonal antibodies for research, for affinity methods for biological separations, and for analyses used in the diagnosis and treatment of some diseases. However, the frequency of fusion is low. If the unfused cells are not killed, the myelomas 1 overgrow the hybrid cells. The myelomas can be isolated when there is a defect in their production of enzymes involved in nucleotide synthesis. Mammahan cells can produce the necessary enzymes and thus so can the fused cells. When the cells are placed in a medium in which the enzymes are necessaiy for survival, the myelomas will not survive. The unfused normal cells will die because of their limited life span. Thus, after a period of time, the hybridomas will be the only cells left ahve. 

Biosensors ai e widely used to the detection of hazardous contaminants in foodstuffs, soil and fresh waters. Due to high sensitivity, simple design, low cost and real-time measurement mode biosensors ai e considered as an alternative to conventional analytical techniques, e.g. GC or HPLC. Although the sensitivity and selectivity of contaminant detection is mainly determined by a biological component, i.e. enzyme or antibodies, the biosensor performance can be efficiently controlled by the optimization of its assembly and working conditions. In this report, the prospects to the improvement of pesticide detection with cholinesterase sensors based on modified screen-printed electrodes are summarized. The following opportunities for the controlled improvement of analytical characteristics of anticholinesterase pesticides ai e discussed ...
