  • Publication number: 20240080312
    Abstract: Aspects of subject technology provide systems and methods for generation and distribution of a stable identifier associated with multiple aliases of a user account. The stable identifier may be provided to various electronic devices by a server, responsive to requests associated with communications to those devices from one of the associated aliases. In this way, messaging applications can utilize the stable identifier to merge conversations from a single user having multiple aliases, and secure access to a secure device can be provided to an authorized user, even if the authorized user attempts access from an unauthorized account alias.

  • Publication number: 20160032007
    Abstract: Human antibody fragments against chrondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 can be used to deliver cytotoxic agents to cells which express CSPG4. The agents can be diagnostic or therapeutic moieties. They may be linked by covalent or non-covalent linkages to the antibody fragments. They may be produced as a genetic fusion product or joined together synthetically, for example. When the human antibody fragments are internalized by the cells to which they bind, they can carry with them the attached agents. Thus toxic agents having intracellular targets have enhanced killing upon internalization.

  • Publication number: 20130217085
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of improving the fermentation yield of polyunsaturated fatty acids, in which Schizochytrium limacinum is used as production strain to produce polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and glycine betaine or trehalose is added to the fermentation medium. In the present invention, after Schizochytrium limacinum fermentation system is treated with exogenous glycine betaine, the yield of PUFA produced by fermentation with Schizochytrium limacinum can be greatly improved. The present invention significantly improves the yield of PUFA produced by microorganism, reduces the cost without harming the environment, and saves manpower and material resources by simple and effective regulation of fermentation, and thus the method is simple, convenient and cost-effective.
