摘要:
This invention discloses a method for preparing a complex comprised of a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand and a Lipophilic Compound by identifying a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand by SELEX methodology and associating the VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand with a Lipophilic Compound. The invention further discloses Complexes comprising one or more VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligands in association with a Lipophilic Compound. The invention further includes a Lipid construct comprising a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand or Complex and methods for making the same.
摘要:
This invention pertains to methods of determining the presence and/or quantity of homocysteine in a sample containing other thiol-containing compounds. The methods of this invention involve modifying the homocysteine to facilitate the separation of homocysteine from cysteine. An assay protocol comprises adjusting the conditions of the sample suspected of containing homocysteine so that homocysteine forms homocysteine thiolactone, separating the homocysteine thiolactone from free thiol-containing compounds present in the sample, including cysteine, reconverting the homocysteine thiolactone to homocysteine, and determining the presence and/or quantity of homocysteine in the sample by conventional means.
