摘要:
Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 24P4C12 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 24P4C12 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.

The disclosure relates generally to genetic manipulation of stem and primary cells and to reprogramming of somatic cells, more specifically, human cells. In particular, compositions and methods are disclosed for the generation and maintenance of such engineered cells.
摘要:
The present invention is directed generally to cell culture media (particularly serum free, non animal derived, and/or chemically defined media) which are useful for introducing macromolecules and compounds (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) into cells (e.g., eukaryotic cells). According to the invention, such introduction can take place in the presence of said medium. Cells containing such introduced materials can then be cultured in the medium and the effect of the introduced materials on the cells can be measured or determined. In particular, the invention allows introduction of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., vectors) into cells (particularly eukaryotic cells) and expression of proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecules in the cells. The invention obviates the need to change the cell culture medium each time a different procedure is performed with the cells (e.g., culturing cells vs. transfecting cells). The invention thus provides efficient and high throughput methods to transform/transfect culture and cells avoiding the need for multiple manipulations and transfers of cells during transfection and expression studies. The invention also relates to compositions and kits useful for culturing and transforming/transfecting cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for joining a first set of double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules, comprising: (a) providing two or more dsDNA molecules to be joined, wherein, for each pair of dsDNA molecules to be joined, the distal region of the first DNA molecule and the proximal region of the second DNA molecule share a region of sequence homology comprising at least about 20 non-palindromic nucleotides; (b) treating the provided dsDNA molecules with a substantially purified enzyme having 5'-3' exonuclease activity, whereby single-stranded overhanging portions are generated in the dsDNA molecules by 5'-3' exonuclease digestion, wherein each overhanging portion contains the region of homology or a portion thereof sufficient to specifically hybridize to the overhanging portion in the other molecule of the pair; (c) incubating the DNA molecules generated in step (b), under conditions whereby they anneal through the overhanging portions; and (d) treating the annealed molecules with a substantially purified DNA polymerase and a substantially purified compatible ligase, under conditions whereby remaining single-stranded gap(s) are filled in by the polymerase and nicks are sealed by the ligase;
thereby joining the dsDNA molecules, wherein the method is carried out in the presence of a crowding agent ,e.g. about 5% PEG.
摘要:
The present invention provides a core-shell nanostructure comprising: a hydrophobic polymeric core; and a hydrophobic polymeric shell on the core, wherein the shell comprises at least one binding site for binding at least one target agent. In particular, the nanostructure has a red-blood cell morphology. The present invention also provides a method for preparing the nanostructure and uses of the nanostructure.
摘要:
Use of a pH sensor comprising an ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) to perform real time detection/ quantification of nucleic acid amplification, e.g. polymerase chain reaction (PCR) nucleic acid amplification, based on detection of protons released during the primer extension phase.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides for inhibiting various protein kinase C isozymes. The peptide can be directed to any region of the protein kinase C isozyme, and in one embodiment, is directed to the V5 domain. The peptide can be conjugated to a carrier, in a releasable or non-releasable manner. The peptides can be used to inhibit angiogenesis and/or vascular permeability. The peptides can be used to treat subjects having, for example, cancer, diabetic blindness, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriasis.
摘要:
Methods are described using a particular type of assay system, the Multi-Pathway High Throughput Assay, in conjunction with a novel experimental strategy, whereby repeated cycles of experiments result in the identification of the most effective synergistic combinations of potential active agents from a library of materials. The novel experimental strategy not only requires far fewer total experiments than would be required using conventional discovery strategies but also maximizes the probability of finding highly synergistic combinations through the principle of multiple-pathway intervention.
摘要:
The invention relates to Cordyceps extract and uses thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a dietary supplement or animal feed comprising at least one Cordyceps species or extract thereof. The dietary supplement and/or animal feed is preferably for oviparous animals and in particular for the production of eggs.
摘要:
The invention described below relates to an enclosed cell sorting device and methods of using the device. The device is constructed so that the entire process of cell sorting can be conducted under fully anaerobic conditions to retain viability of anaerobic cells before, during, and after cell sorting. This is accomplished by creating an anaerobic atmosphere for the high speed cell sorter and all its components and by the use of airlocks that allow the introduction of anaerobic containers into the chamber containing the sample.
