The chemical profiling of bloodstains is essential to link the suspect with the crime. The current study proposed a proof-of-concept methodology for the investigation of bloodstains by utilizing advanced ATR-FTIR spectroscopy coupled with new generation chemometric methods. Current study provides encouraging data to allow discrimination between human and animal blood though with small sample size. In this study, different models for the age estimation of human bloodstains are developed from the trained data sets of 1–175 days old bloodstains. The models such as curve estimation (CE), multiple linear regression (MLR), and partial least squares regressions (PLSR) are developed to determine the best prediction model for aged human bloodstains. The obtained results on the dating of bloodstains are very encouraging and also tested for unknown samples. The maximum dating errors are observed in the curve estimation models whereas, the other models MLR, PLSR show excellent age estimation of unknown bloodstains. These models represent an error of ~3 ± 1 days and ~4 ± 1 days in actual and estimated date, respectively, which is lowest ever reported so far. The present methodology is expected to provide a valuable insight into forensic society and hence, to the law enforcement community. The present methodology can further be explored for an ideal model by including all other external variables/factors and for more longer aging time. 相似文献

A sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay for human beta-enolase was developed and used to examine beta-enolase in blood or bloodstains as a marker for the determination of skeletal muscle injury. Human beta-enolase was purified from human skeletal muscle, and then an antibody against it was prepared. Polystyrene balls coated with rabbit anti-human beta-enolase IgG were incubated with human beta-enolase and then with anti-human beta-enolase Fab'-peroxidase conjugate. Peroxidase activity bound to the polystyrene balls was assayed by fluorometry using 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid as a hydrogen donor. The detection limit for human beta-enolase was 2.6 pg (30 amol) per assay. The degree of cross-reaction of the sandwich enzyme immunoassay for other organs except for heart (1/10) was about 1/150 or less. Moreover, the localization of beta-enolase in various human tissues was examined by Northern blot analysis, and this confirmed that beta-enolase was expressed only in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Antigenic activity in bloodstains containing beta-enolase was recovered well after storage for 60 days at room temperature. The ratio of beta-enolase to total protein in bloodstains made from non-traumatic blood, nasal hemorrhage and menstrual blood, was within the normal range. In contrast, the ratio of beta-enolase in bloodstains from traumatic blood was obviously elevated (10-30 fold) in comparison with non-traumatic blood. Furthermore, the ratio of beta-enolase was proved to be higher in stains adhering to weapons that had passed through skeletal muscle, indicating that detection of beta-enolase in bloodstains could be used to distinguish crime weapons. These results suggest that beta-enolase is a useful marker for identification of skeletal muscle injury as well as for detecting the origin of bleeding. 相似文献

When bloodstains are detected at crime scene using presumptive tests (e.g. luminol, phenolphthalein, leuchomalachite green), it is important to establish the real human nature of each stain. This is possible using confirmatory tests. One of these is rapid stain identification-blood (RISD-blood) a lateral flow immuno-chromatographic strip test format which allows the identification of human blood by detection of glycophorin A, a red blood cell membrane antigen, using two anti-human glycophorin A (GPA) monoclonal antibodies.The aim of this study is to assess the sensitivity of RSID-blood test in old, degraded bloodstains and in some bloodstains previously treated with BlueStar Forensic, a presumptive test which is often used in crime scene investigations to detect latent bloodstains. The genetic analysis of all bloodstains of confirmed human nature was subsequently performed using the AmpF1STR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems), to validate the possibility of obtain a consistent and reliable DNA typing results. 相似文献

The technique of immunoelectrophoresis was used to determine the age of bloodstains. The immunoelectrophoretic patterns (IEP) of bloodstains ranging from 15 days to one year old were obtained by the use of high titer anti-whole human serum. The IEPs revealed gradual disappearance of beta-globulins and gamma-globulin with increase in the age of bloodstains. A comparative study of the IEP of normal human serum with those of the experimental bloodstains showed the absence of some of the corresponding proteins. The absence of a particular serum protein in the IEP of a given bloodstain will indicate the age of that bloodstain. 相似文献

The sex determination of bloodstains was performed using a human Y chromosome-specific (DNA) fragment of 1.9-kb length as a hybridization probe. The DNA samples were taken from 1- and 4-week-old bloodstains of males and females, respectively. Strong signals with male DNA were observed by Y-probe, while faint signals with female DNA were detected. In addition, clear signals were observed in the extract samples from male bloodstains (16-week-old) on paper. Dot hybridization of the Y-probe would be widely applicable to studies on sex determination of medicolegal materials such as blood, bloodstains, teeth, and cadaverous parts. 相似文献

The stability of DNA in human bloodstains and various post mortem tissues has been investigated. High molecular weight (HMW) DNA was usually recovered from dried bloodstains, even those up to a few years old, but very rapid degradation was found to occur post mortem in the liver, pancreas, spleen and kidney. Other tissues such as the heart, thyroid and skeletal muscle were found to give a reasonable yield of HMW DNA during the first few days after death. The feasibility of using DNA extracted from forensic bloodstain specimens for the detection of DNA polymorphisms was explored using a human haptoglobin (Hp) alpha chain specific probe. Using HindIII and XbaI digests the Hp genotypes Hp2, Hp1F and Hp1S were distinguished by Southern blot analysis in DNA prepared from 1 cm2 bloodstains up to 15-18 months old. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for species identification of human bloodstains using two commercially available antisera against human serum is described. Human bloodstains were to be distinguished from those of chimpanzees and other animals using raw antisera, and the differentiation between human and chimpanzee became more evident when those antisera were absorbed with a small amount of chimpanzee plasma. Human bloodstains could clearly be identified by the present method even after 4 weeks of aging at room temperature. 相似文献

Antigenic properties of bloodstains of human and non-human primates as well as other animal bloodstains were investigated by the inhibition ELISA using commercially available anti-human albumin (Alb), alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-M), fibrinogen, transferrin, and immunoglobulin G. In general, chimpanzee bloodstains showed strong cross-reactions with these antisera, and the extent of the cross-reactions of other animal bloodstains decreased largely with the phylogenic order, i.e., agile gibbon (ape), Old World monkeys (Japanese monkey and hamadryas baboon), New World monkeys (night monkey and tufted capuchin monkey), prosimians (grand galago and ring-tailed lemur) and other animals (rat, cattle, swine, goat, dog, cat, and chicken). Among these antisera, anti-human alpha 2-M showed the weakest cross-reaction with chimpanzee bloodstains, and anti-human Alb showed next. 相似文献

Mechanical forces applied to the neck region are known to release certain amounts of thyroglobulin into circulation. In this experiment, an attempt was made to detect thyroglobulin in bloodstains as an aid in the diagnosis of mechanical asphyxia. Experimental bloodstains containing thyroglobulin at concentrations of 1, 2, 5 and 10 mu g/mL were prepared on a sheet of filter paper. Small pieces of bloodstains, measuring approximately 2.4 cm2 in area, were extracted with 0.1 mL of distilled water and the extracts were tested against an antihuman thyroglobulin serum by precipitation-electrophoresis. Bloodstains containing more than 1 mu g/mL of thyroglobulin formed distinct precipitin lines for up to one month of storage, while bloodstains containing more than 5 mu g/mL of thyroglobulin formed distinct precipitin lines for up to three months of storage. The present results suggest that the bloodstains can be utilized in the diagnosis of mechanical asphyxia. 相似文献

The applicability of a new marker for estimation of bloodstain age by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. Using a microBondasphere C18 column with a two step linear gradient of 10.5-46.25% acetonitrile in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, an intriguing peak (unidentified) at a retention time of about 5 min was observed on chromatograms from human adult bloodstains and designated as 'X'. The area of this peak, which could be detected in extracts of bloodstains, but not in their fresh whole blood, increased with time. The ratios of the X area to heme area in bloodstains stored at room temperature and 4 degrees C for up to 52 weeks old linearly correlated with stain age by plotting on a double logarithmic scale. In bloodstains exposed to fluorescent light at room temperature, the regression equation calculated from the ratios (Rx) and the ages of stains in weeks (W) is ln(1000.Rx) = 1.1084 + 0.3937.ln(7.W), and the coefficient of correlation (r) is 0.9776 (n = 144, P < 0.001). When stains were stored at 37 degrees C, the ratio transformed into logarithms correlated linearly with stain age. The regression equation describing the relationship in bloodstains exposed to fluorescent light at 37 degrees C is ln(1000.Rx) = 2.4477 + 0.0866.W (r = 0.9826, n = 144, P < 0.001). The results of the present study suggest that the HPLC method may be applicable to the estimation of bloodstain age. 相似文献

A highly specific and sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay for human hemoglobin A (Hb A) is described. A rabbit anti-human Hb A IgG-coated polystyrene ball was incubated with human Hb A and subsequently with affinity-purified anti-human Hb A Fab'-horseradish peroxidase conjugates, which had been prepared before and after absorption with Japanese monkey Hb-Sepharose 4B and dog Hb-Sepharose 4B. Bound peroxidase activity was measured by fluorimetry using 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid as a substrate. The detection limits of human Hb A using the conjugate before and after the absorption were 0.65 pg/tube (3 X 10(10)-fold dilution of whole blood) and 2.0 pg/tube (1 X 10(10)-fold dilution of whole blood), respectively. Human Hb A could be discriminated from Hb of animals such as Japanese monkey, dog, cat, pig, horse, sheep, chicken and cow by measuring bound peroxidase activity in the presence and absence of the conjugates prepared before and after the absorption. Human Hb A in bloodstains on cotton gauze could be discriminated from Hb of animals described above even after seven washings. Human Hb A in 220,000-fold diluted bloodstains on cotton gauze could also be discriminated from Hb of animals described above. 相似文献

Isotachophoresis, a technique to separate components by constant current electrophoresis, was used to differentiate between bloodstains of male, female, menstrual, bovine, and ovine bloods on cotton cloth and filter paper. Bloodstain analysis by isotachophoresis of stains from male and female subjects showed identical cationic patterns, but gave different profiles in the anionic system. Plasma had one extra peak in the anionic system when compared to the profile of serum. This extra peak is due to the presence of fibrinogen in plasma. Some hemoglobin peaks overlapped with serum protein peaks, but these could be identified by comparisons at lower concentrations. Menstrual blood had a much different pattern than normal human blood as was expected since many more compounds are found in menstrual blood than in normally circulating blood. Human, bovine, and ovine bloodstains showed different profiles both in the cationic and anionic systems. These results indicate that isotachophoresis can be used for the rapid and simple analysis of bloodstains to differentiate reliably human male, female, and menstrual blood and also to distinguish human bloodstains from those of cattle or sheep. 相似文献

A sensitive radioimmunoassay for the detection of human hemoglobin in dried bloodstains for the purpose of forensic science species identification has been developed. Bloodstains from 13 animal species were tested and found to be negative for human blood. A minimum volume of 0.8 microL of fresh blood is required to produce sufficient stain for successful testing. Bloodstains prepared from newborn and sickle-cell bloods were determined to be human. Bloodstains ranging in age from 1 month to 6 years which had been maintained desiccated at 20 to 25 degrees C were also successfully tested. Positive results were obtained on human bloodstains stored at 24 degrees C with relative humidity ranging from 0 to 98% for a period of 3 weeks. Absolute counts per minute (CPM) decreased with increased humidity. Human bloodstains exposed to bacterial contamination (gram positive or negative species) under humid conditions for 2 weeks also tested positive. Bacterial contamination caused a decrease in CPM, but insufficient to result in an erroneous conclusion as to species of origin. Positive results were also obtained on human bloodstains stored for 6 weeks at various temperatures ranging from -16 to 37 degrees C. No significant decreases in CPM were noted for any of the temperature conditions described. 相似文献
