Abstract: A method for evaluation of a thin-layer chromatography plate after performing a separation process that separates components of a sample on the thin-layer chromatography plate comprises a digitization step, wherein at least two digital images are taken that differ with respect to the wavelength range of illumination of the thin-layer chromatography plate. The method further comprises a position identification step wherein the position of the thin-layer chromatography plate is identified for each of the at least two digital images. Furthermore, the method comprises an evaluation step wherein an image information of the at least two digital images is superimposed for at least all regions with at least one visible spot within at least one of the at least two digital images, so that the superimposition of image information from identical regions of at least two digital images can be used for evaluation of the thin-layer chromatography.

Abstract: A well plate assembly with an interior channel system in the well plate lid provides a more efficient and uniform distribution of fluid into a receptacle positioned below the well plate lid. The channel system in the lid allows air, or other fluid, to pass through with the use of a pump to each of a plurality of channels in the receptacle. Inlet and outlet valves in the lid prevent a gasket positioned between the lid and the receptacle from releasing contact with the receptacle due to high pressure experienced during the injection of fluid into the assembly. Specifically, pressure under a specified tolerance passes through the inlet valves, and if the pressure within the channel system exceeds the limit of the outlet valve, the outlet valve opens and allows air to escape the lid safely without disturbing the fluid flow into the channels below.

Abstract: A Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody display system that simultaneously secrets and displays antibody fragments from a very large size synthetic nave human antibody library for therapeutic antibody lead discovery and engineering is described. A bait anchor complexed with a monovalent antibody fragment is tethered on the surface of the S. cerevisiae host cell, wherein the fragment can be assayed for antigen binding, while the full bivalent antibody is simultaneously secreted from the host cell. Methods of using the system for identifying antibodies from the library that bind specifically to an antigen of interest are also provided. Polypeptides, polynucleotides and host cells used for making the antibody display system are also provided along with methods of use thereof.
Abstract: Methods of administering a therapeutically effective amount of Debio 1143 and a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-L1 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, for the treatment of cancer, are provided.
