Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of the formula (I): wherein R3, R4, R5, R9, and R10 are selected from the group consisting of H and groups or atoms other than H, and R6 and R8 are halo or hydrogen; X1, X2, and X3 are independently O or S; provided that R9 and R10 are not simultaneously H, when all of X1, X2, and X3 are O; and of the formula (II) wherein R11-R14 are selected from the group consisting of H and groups or atoms other than H; X4-X9 are independently O or S; n and m are 0 or 1 but m and n cannot be 0 simultaneously; R15-R24 can be H or any substituent so long as the compound of formula II upon hydrolysis provides a fluorescent compound. These compounds are useful as substrates with high specificity for organophosphatase particularly human paraoxonase and bacterial organophosphorus hydrolase. Also disclosed is a method for detecting and/or measuring the paraoxonase activity in a fluid comprising contacting the fluid with a fluorescent substrate and measuring the fluorescence of the fluorescent product formed.
Abstract:
Prion protein binding materials and methods for using the binding materials to detect or remove a prion protein from a sample, such as a biological fluid or an environmental sample. The binding materials are capable of binding to one or more forms of prion protein including cellular prion protein (PrPc), infectious prion protein (PrPsc), recombinant prion protein (PrPr), and proteinase resistant prion protein (PrPres). Prions from various species, including humans and hamsters, are bound by the binding materials.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for stress testing mobile network equipment using CPRI are disclosed. According to one method, a plurality of messages is generated for simulating a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. The plurality of messages is transmitted over a common public radio interface (CPRI) link to a radio equipment controller (REC) in order to stress test the REC component.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method of identifying and detecting targets in blood samples by binding to multiple ligands. The method comprises providing ligands attached to a support, and contacting the ligands with targets in blood to allow at least one target to bind to at least one ligand. The method further comprises removal of non-bound targets and cellular components such as blood cells, platelets, abundant plasma proteins followed by dissociation and elution of the target(s). The eluted targets are detected by a variety of means in concentrations which are a function of their presence in one sample as compared with their concentration in a second sample and are simultaneously enriched for trace components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to solid-phase combinatorial peptide libraries synthesized on chromatography beads and their use to prepare samples for proteomic investigations.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of binding multiple targets in samples by binding to multiple ligands. The method comprises providing ligands attached to a support, and contacting the ligands with targets to produce at least two target-ligand-support complexes. The method further comprises removal of non-bound targets followed by elution of the bound targets. The eluted targets are present in concentrations of a particular analyte that is a function of their comparative concentrations in different samples. Furthermore, the mixture is enriched for trace components.
