  • NOVEL BIOMARKERS FOR DETECTING NEURONAL LOSS
    Publication number: 20140038834
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker for the detection of brain damage or a disease associated with loss of neurons, said biomarker comprising a protein fragment of the neurofilament heavy chain (NfH) protein in a biological sample, wherein said protein fragment is a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of i) a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, and polypeptides composed of amino acids 476-1026 and 476-986 of SEQ ID NO 6; ii) a protein fragment of the NfH protein having an amino acid sequence that is at least 60% identical to SEQ ID NO:1, at least 60% identical to SEQ ID NO:2, at least 60% identical to SEQ ID NO:3, at least 60% identical to SEQ ID NO:4, at least 60% identical to SEQ ID NO:5; or at least 60% identical to a polypeptide composed of amino acids 476-1026 and.

  • Coating of surfaces, which get in contact with a liquid, for the prevention of biological fouling
    Publication number: 20040037952
    Abstract: Protecting surfaces from biological fouling when the surfaces are in contact with a liquid medium such as salt water or fresh water. The surfaces are protected by a coating comprises several layers. The layers include: a layer of electrically conductive carbon foil; and a top coating with special properties. The carbon foil is provided with an electrical contact. There is a counter electrode in the liquid medium by which a direct current can be generated to cause a shift in the pH value of the liquid layer adjacent to the surface.
