Detection of Antibodies

The present invention relates to a method for detecting antibodies against a target antigen in a sample which comprises contacting the sample with labelled target antigen, subjecting the sample to immunoprecipitation to precipitate antibodies in the sample and detecting the presence of antibodies against the target antigen in the sample by means of the presence of labelled target antigen in the immunoprecipitate, wherein the labelled target antigen is a fusion protein comprising the target antigen and a fluorescent protein label and the presence of labelled target antigen in the immunoprecipitate is detected by means of the fluorescence of the fluorescent label. The method is particularly suitable for use where the target antigen is an autoantigen and can also be used to identify autoantigens implicated in a particular autoimmune disorder by screening serum samples from patients with a clinical phenotype indicative or suggestive of an autoimmune disorder and suitable controls. The target protein may be from the cys-loop acetyl choline receptor ion channel gene superfamily, the voltage-gated calcium, sodium or potassium ion channel gene superfamily, the glutamate receptor gene family, a receptor tyrosine kinase, or other membrane associated channels such as aquaporin gene family.

Patch graft compositions for cell engraftment

Compositions and methods of transplanting cells by grafting strategies into solid organs (especially internal organs) are provided. These methods and compositions can be used to repair diseased organs or to establish models of disease states in experimental hosts. The method involves attachment onto the surface of a tissue or organ, a patch graft, a “bandaid-like” covering, containing epithelial cells with supporting early lineage stage mesenchymal cells. The cells are incorporated into soft gel-forming biomaterials prepared under serum-free, defined conditions comprised of nutrients, lipids, vitamins, and regulatory signals that collectively support stemness of the donor cells. The graft is covered with a biodegradable, biocompatible, bioresorbable backing used to affix the graft to the target site. The cells in the graft migrate into and throughout the tissue such that within a couple of weeks they are uniformly dispersed within the recipient (host) tissue. The mechanisms by which engraftment and integration of donor cells into the organ or tissue involve multiple membrane-associated and secreted forms of MMPs.

Ph sensitive liposome compositions for controlling surface topography and binding reactivity in functionalized liposomes

Methods for controlling surface topography and binding reactivity in functionalized lipid layers, including in the form of liposomes, using pH-dependent processes. During direct cell-to-cell communication, lipids on the extracellular side of plasma membranes reorganize, and membrane associated communication-related molecules co-localize. At co-localization sites, sometimes identified as rafts, the local cell surface topography and reactivity are altered. Integration of these processes on nanometer-sized lipid vesicles used as drug delivery carriers would precisely control their interactions with diseased cells minimizing toxicities. Included are pH-dependent processes on functionalized lipid bilayers demonstrating reversible sharp changes in binding reactivity within a narrow pH window. Cholesterol enables tuning of the membrane reorganization to occur at pH values not necessarily close to the reported pKa's of the constituent titratable lipids. One illustrative function of the invention is to use liposomes to deliver bioactive agents to cancer or tumor cells and compositions of specific lipids that form liposomes to deliver a biologically active agent.

Protein of transcription factor NAC062D and application of encoding gene thereof in inhibiting seed germinating

ActiveCN107056907AConsistent plant growthConsistently Non-GMOPlant peptidesFermentationNucleotidePlanting seed
The invention relates to protein of a transcription factor NAC062D. The transcription factor is an active form after a transmembrane domain is removed from a membrane-associated transcription factor NAC062, an amino acid sequence is a sequence 1 in a sequence table, and a nucleotide sequence is a sequence 2 in the sequence table. A transgenic plant culture method of importing an encoding gene of the protein of the transcription factor NAC062D into a target plant is used for importing the encoding gene of the protein of the NAC062D into the target plant, so as to obtain the transgenic plant. The transgenic plant has the features that (1) under the normal condition, the transgenic plant is basically the same with the non-transgenic plant; (2) by adding 10mu M of inducing agent beta-estrodial (beta-E), the germinating rate of the transgenic plant is lower than the germinating rate of the non-transgenic plant. The function of the transgenic plant inhibiting the seed germinating is expressed by that the germinating rate of the transgenic plant is lower than the germinating rate of the target plant. The transcription factor NAC062D for regulating and controlling the germinating of the plant seeds and the encoding gene thereof are imported into arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype columbia), and the transgenic plant is obtained, so that the transcription factor can be applied to regulate and control the seed germinating.
