摘要:
A spectral reflectance imaging device for detecting nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets includes an illumination source that illuminates a substrate with a plurality of separate wavelengths of incoherent light. The substrate includes an oxide layer and a binding agent to selectively bind nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets to the substrate. An imaging device bindings the light reflected from or transmitted through the substrate and an image processing system detects the nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets a function of the change in reflective properties of the substrate.
摘要:
The present invention is comprised in the field of glycobiology. In particular, it relates to a method for separating, in biological samples, the fraction bound to or associated with sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and the applications thereof in biomedicine, such as for identifying the profile of glycoproteins or the profile of lipids bound to or associated with sulfated GAGs, detecting an alteration in the pattern of glycosylation by sulfated GAGs, identifying biomarkers for the diagnosis, for the prognosis, for monitoring the progression of a disease or of the effect of a therapy, or for identifying compounds suitable for the treatment of a disease. The invention also relates to methods for diagnosing mucopolysaccharidosis and for diagnosing and determining the prognosis of a kidney disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to anti-GPC3 antibodies and their applications. The invention investigates the potential inhibitory effect of anti-GPC3 antibodies on tumor growth, proliferation, migration and their applications for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
摘要:
Method and kits are provided determining the presence or absence of parasitic helminth eggs in environmental samples, particularly fecal samples. The methods incorporate egg capture methods and the use of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine specific ligands for egg detection.
摘要:
This invention provides compositions of active highly phosphorylated lysosomal sulfatase enzymes, their pharmaceutical compositions, methods of producing and purifying such lysosomal sulfatase enzymes and compositions and their use in the diagnosis, prophylaxis, or treatment of diseases and conditions, including particularly lysosomal storage diseases that are caused by, or associated with, a deficiency in the lysosomal sulfatase enzyme.
摘要:
Detecting glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and/or determining the level of one or more glycosaminoglycans can be useful, e.g., in identifying or monitoring various medical conditions, the status of patients having various medical conditions, and/or the response to treatment of individuals having various medical conditions. The present invention provides methods for detecting glycosaminoglycans and/or determining the level of glycosaminoglycans through the use of, e.g., mass spectrometry.
摘要:
A method for implementing an adapted patient care for an individual suffering from liver fibrosis after assessing liver fibrosis progression in the individual, and thus determining whether the individual is a slow, medium or fast fibroser. Also, a method for treating an individual suffering from liver fibrosis and identified as a fast fibroser, which includes the steps of identifying the individual as a fast fibroser by assessing fibrosis progression and treating the individual by administering without delay at least one therapeutic agent for treating liver fibrosis, or for treating the underlying cause responsible for liver fibrosis, or both.
摘要:
Provided is a test method for discriminating a liver injury type using as an indicator a level of lithocholic acid (hereinafter abbreviated as LCA) in a biological sample of a subject. That is, provided is a test method comprising measuring a level of LCA in a biological sample collected from a subject, and discriminating a liver injury type as hepatocellular injury type, cholestasis type, or a mixed type thereof using the measured level of LCA as an indicator.
摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to develop: a method for selectively separating a glycoprotein derived from the central nervous system from a body fluid or a central nervous system cell; and a method for searching for an index marker for central nervous system diseases, which utilizes the aforementioned method. A protein derived from the central nervous system, which occurs in a trace amount in a body fluid or a central nervous system cell, can be selectively enriched by a two-stage separation procedure comprising removing a glycoprotein having sialic acid at a non-reducing terminal thereof from the body fluid or the central nervous system cell and then separating a glycoprotein having N-acetylglucosamine at a non-reducing terminal thereof.
摘要:
A method and kit for diagnosing and monitoring the progress of COPD using FTIR spectral analysis of a sputum samples where spectral data is obtained and used to monitor the progression of the disease over time.
