  • Publication number: 20120015380
    Abstract: In this invention, anti-PEG antibodies or anti-methoxyl-PEG (anti-CH3O-PEG) antibodies were expressed on cell surface which can collocate with a biotinylated anti-PEG antibody (AGP4-Biotin) or biotinylated PEG (PEG-Biotin) to develop a cell-based sandwich ELISA or a cell-based competition ELISA, respectively. Both of these two methods could sensitively quantify free PEG and PEG-modified macromolecules (proteins, nanoparticles and liposomes) as sensitive as nano-gram level.

  • Patent number: 7320791
    Abstract: A novel anti-polyethylene glycol monoclonal antibody and its preparation are disclosed. Such an antibody can be used for determining polyethylene glycol concentration in vitro or accelerating the clearance of a polyethylene glycol containing compound from the blood circulation in the human body thereby reducing the toxicity associated with the polyethylene glycol containing conjugate. The antibody is particularly useful in cancer therapy where the therapeutic agent is selectively delivered to the tumor by increasing the tumor/blood ratio of the polyethylene glycol containing compound.

    Abstract: The present invention is a method for a biochip detecting limited cells. The present invention comprises steps of: obtaining a nylon membrane chip having required nucleotide fragments arranged in a dot matrix way by using a manual spotter; naturally drying by heat and fixing the nucleotide fragments on the nylon membrane chip by a rapid nucleic acid cross-linker when preparing a chip; collecting some normal whole blood to be linearly amplified; synthesizing required amount of cDNA by a reverse transcription to obtain a marker as a probe; processing labeling, hybridization and post-hybridization to the chip and the marker; processing chemical color reaction; and automatically analyzing the result image after the chemical color reaction. Accordingly, a gene biochip operation technology platform with low cost, easy operation and high efficiency is obtained.
