  • Publication number: 20200297652
    Abstract: Particles comprising a branched polymer and either a block copolymer or a linear dendritic hybrid represent a category of useful materials. They may be used in for example drug delivery applications. They may be prepared by a method comprising the steps of: dissolving the branched polymer and block copolymer or linear dendritic hybrid, and optionally other component(s), in a solvent to form a solution; adding said solution to a different liquid; and removing said solvent to form a dispersion of co-precipitated particles.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20060078960
    Abstract: In various aspects, the present teachings provide systems, methods, assays and kits for the absolute quantitation of protein expression. In various aspects, the present teachings provide methods of determining the concentration of one or more proteins of interest in one or more samples of interest. In various aspects, the present teachings provide methods of determining the absolute concentration of one or more isoforms of a protein using standard samples of signature protein fragments and parent-daughter ion transition monitoring (PDITM). In various embodiments, the absolute concentration of multiple isoforms of a biomolecule in a sample, multiple proteins in a biological process, a combination of multiple samples, or combinations thereof, can be determined in a multiplex fashion using the present teachings. In various aspects, provided are methods of assessing the response of a biological system to a chemical agent.
