Abstract:
A bivalent binding agent having a first monovalent binder that binds to a polypeptide epitope of a target polypeptide, a second monovalent binder that binds to a posttranslational polypeptide modification on the target polypeptide and a linker. Further disclosed are methods for the detection of a posttranslationally modified target polypeptide, for making the disclosed bivalent binding agent, and for use of the disclosed bivalent binding agent in histological staining procedures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated antibodies, or an antigen portions thereof, which bind to human HER3. The novel antibodies are of great utility since they allow for the sensitive and specific detection of human HER3. Detection of human HER3 is, e.g., possible in a tissue sample, even when such tissue sample is a formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPET) sample.
Abstract:
Isolated antibodies that specifically bind to an epitope comprised in the stretch of amino acids ranging from amino acid 76 to amino acid 84 of human insulin-like growth factor-1 precursor (SEQ ID NO:1). Use of the novel antibodies for the sensitive and specific detection of insulin-like growth factor-1, in some embodiments while in the presence of high excess concentration of insulin-like growth factor-2, for example in a bodily fluid sample.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody capable of binding to biotin. In one embodiment the monoclonal antibody according to the invention also does not bind to a biotin moiety on a biotinylated molecule, wherein the biotin moiety is attached to the molecule via the carbon atom of the carboxyl function of the valeric acid moiety of biotin. Also disclosed is a method for generation of an antibody as disclosed herein. The monoclonal antibody according to the invention is of specific use in a method for measuring an analyte in a sample, wherein a (strept)avidin/biotin pair is used to bind a biotinylated analyte specific binding agent to a (strept)avidin coated solid phase.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an in vitro method for measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, wherein the potentially interfering compound 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is blocked by a binding agent specifically binding to 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and not binding to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to novel bis-maleic anhydrides and to the surprising discovery that bis-maleic anhydride cross-linking agents can be used for preservation/fixation of a cell or tissue sample. Various bis-maleic anhydride cross-linking agent scan be used in methods requiring fixation of a cell or tissue sample. These reagents and methods are especially useful in procedures that require that the fixation agent be removed in order to facilitate analysis with other reagents. The inventive reagents and methods make it easier to reliably assay for various proteins, a nucleic acid and the like using analytical methods such as like immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, and the like.
Abstract:
A bivalent binding agent, capable of binding a polypeptide dimer, consisting of two monovalent binders linked to each other via a linker, the first monovalent binder binds an epitope of a first target polypeptide comprised in said dimer and the second monovalent binder binds to an epitope of a second target polypeptide comprised in said dimer. Each monovalent binder has a Kdiss in the range of 5×10−3/sec to 10−4/sec, and the bivalent binding agent has a Kdiss of 3×10−5/sec or less. Methods of making and using such bivalent binding agent in histological staining procedures are also disclosed.
