摘要:
An insulin-like polypeptide isolated from yeast cultures is described. The protein elicits in yeast upon binding to a specific receptor many of the physiologic responses characteristic of those observed in mammalian cells upon binding of insulin to the mammalian insulin receptor.
摘要:
An antibody immobilized on a water-insoluble solid support by a heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent, wherein said antibody is a partially reduced form of immunoglobulin specific to human proinsulin C-peptide and usually having thiol groups, is disclosed. The solid support may have amino groups and the cross-linking reagent is generally capable of forming two bonds, one with one of the thiol groups and the other with one of the amino groups. The antibody is useful in conducting immunoassays for proinsulin C-peptide in body fluids.
摘要:
A method and a composition for decreasing ghrelin levels and/or decreasing ghrelin/unacylated ghrelin ratio in a subject, the method comprising administering an effective amount of unacylated ghrelin, a fragment thereof, an analog thereof and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to the subject wherein a reduction in ghrelin levels and/or a reduction in ghrelin/unacylated ghrelin ratio is beneficial to the subject. Also, use of ghrelin level and/or ghrelin/unacylated ghrelin ratio as biomarkers for determining a subject's likelihood of responding to and/or benefiting from administration of unacylated ghrelin.
摘要:
The present invention provides an in vitro method for detecting the presence of neutralizing antibodies against recombinant human insulin (rHI) in human serum. It also provides a kit for an in vitro method of detection of the presence of recombinant human insulin (rHI) neutralizing antibodies.
摘要:
The invention provides binding agents and assays tor insulin signal peptide. The agents and assays are useful in methods tor predicting, diagnosing, assessing or monitoring acute cardiac disorders, glucose handling disorders and diabetes in a subject. Also provided are nucleotides, polypeptides, and kits useful in the methods of the invention.
摘要:
Described herein are 3-dimensional clusters of reaggregated cells comprising cells reaggregated from at least two different cell sources, such as different cell types, different donors, and combinations thereof. Methods of making, using, and cryopreserving these 3-dimensional clusters of reaggregated cells are also described herein.
摘要:
Provided herein is a human insulin latex agglutination immunoassay and assay reagents with which nonspecific reaction in a blood sample assay can be suppressed. The assay performs an immunoreaction with anti-insulin antibody-immobilized particles in a buffer containing two or more amine compounds having a pH buffering effect.
摘要:
An insulin delivery supervisor (IDS) with a safety analysis and supervision function that can reside between the insulin request and the insulin delivery and can intercept any excessive insulin requests before the insulin was delivered. The IDS can be implemented in any system based on insulin pump or pen and will work with either SMBG or CGM modes of blood glucose monitoring.
