Abstract: An assay method for detecting the presence or amounts of VCAM-1 and A2M in a sample using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).

Abstract: Composite articles that can resist discoloration or color changes are described. In some instances, the composite articles can include a compounded material that is substantially free of an antioxidant that changes from a first color to a second color upon exposure to an environment comprising an oxidizing agent. The composite articles can be flame retardant and may provide sound reduction as well.
