Abstract: Disclosed herein are antibodies having binding specificity to the amino acid sequences Ala Ser Ser Gly Leu Thr Val Glu Val Asp (SEQ ID NO:1) and Thr Val Glu Val Asp (SEQ ID NO:14), and methods of detecting cell death in a sample, comprising contacting the sample with a first antibody specific for a C-terminal amino acid sequence Ala Ser Ser Gly Leu Thr Val Glu Val Asp (SEQ ID NO:1) or Thr Val Glu Val Asp (SEQ ID NO:14) of a CK18 protein fragment having a C-terminal amino acid sequence of Val Glu Val Asp (SEQ ID NO:2) and a second antibody that specifically binds an epitope that is present in both full-length CK18 and the CK18 protein fragment, and that does not overlap with SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:14, under conditions such that the CK18 protein fragment present in the sample specifically binds to the first antibody and the second antibody, wherein one of the antibodies is bound to a solid support and the other antibody is bound to a detection moiety capable of producing a signal; optionally removing any unbo

Abstract: A safety nut assembly is provided for mounting to the carriage of a backstand apparatus to which a large roll of paper is rotatably mounted. The backstand apparatus includes an inclined screw spindle to which the carriage is threadedly engaged, such that rotation of the screw spindle moves the carriage therealong. The safety nut assembly comprises a mounting portion for secure but removable mounting to the carriage of the backstand. The safety nut assembly further includes a threaded aperture for threadedly engaging the inclined screw spindle. The threaded grooves of the threaded aperture in the safety nut assembly are larger than the threads of the primary weight-bearing bushing in the carriage. Thus, the safety nut assembly will assume a weight-bearing function only upon failure of the primary bushing in the carriage.
