摘要:
The present invention relates to cyclic amino acid molecules and methods of preparing the same, and in particular the macrocyclization of amino acids or linear peptides bound to a solid support.
摘要:
Novel methods and uses for modulating immune responses are provided. The methods and uses involve the use of a TIFA activator such heptose-1,7-5 bisphosphate or an analogue or derivative thereof. The methods may be used to activate, inhibit or otherwise modify an immune response so as to either prevent or treat infectious or inflammatory diseases or cancer. Also provided are methods to identify compounds capable of modulating immune responses.
摘要:
An antibody and/or binding fragment thereof, wherein the antibody and/or binding fragment thereof specifically binds to an epitope of a αKlotho polypeptide, optionally a folded αKiotho or optionally with a dissociation constant (KD) of about 2 nM or less, as measured by competitive ELISA assay, methods 0 of making and using to diagnose kidney diseases.
摘要:
A method is for estimating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a set of two-dimensional (2D) curves of a concept drawing, the estimate of the 3D representation corresponding to a 3D object underlying the concept drawing. The method comprises: obtaining a representation of a set of 2D curves a concept drawing that represent a 3D object underlying the concept drawing; determining an energy function based on the set of 2D curves, the energy function comprising one or more terms, each term reflective of a preference for a 3D representation based on a characteristic of the 2D curves which reflects how concept drawings are commonly perceived to represent 3D objects; and performing an optimization which minimizes the energy function to thereby determine the 3D representation.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides immunogenic compositions comprising the N-domain of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). These compositions are useful for inducing or enhancing an immune response, for inhibiting tumor cell growth and for treating cancer.
摘要:
There is provided herein a method for identifying and/or recovering at least one genetically encoded affinity reagent specific for a target molecule by screening using molecular display in conjunction with the sequencing of positive and negative selection pools from the screen.
摘要:
A new configuration damper, for interconnecting two elements of a structure that undergo relative movements and deformations, that increase the level of damping when the overall structure is subjected to a loading condition is disclosed. The new configuration damper aides in controlling displacements, velocities and accelerations under dynamic loading in structural systems.
