  • Methods to accelerate the isolation of novel cell strains from pluripotent stem cells and cells obtained thereby
    Publication number: 20080070303
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to methods to differentiate pluripotent stem cells, such as embryonic stem, embryonic germ, or embryo-derived cells, to obtain subpopulations of cells from heterogeneous mixtures of cells wherein the subpopulation of cells possess reduced differentiation potential compared to the original pluripotent stem cells and where the subpopulation is capable of being propagated.

  • Homogeneous immunoassays for multiple allergens
    Publication number: 20070190668
    Abstract: A homogeneous immunoassay method and system for quantitative determination of total immunoglobulin E and specific antibody levels to a plurality of allergens, in which a relatively small sampling of blood is required. The method utilizes relatively small microparticles in aqueous suspension. The immunoassay procedure is an immunometric sandwich procedure preferably utilizing biotin-streptavidin signal amplification techniques and R-phycoerytherin fluorescent labels.
