  • Publication number: 20140057294
    Abstract: Hybridoma cell line 10G4 and monoclonal antibody against total aflatoxins produced by the hybridoma cell line 10G4. The hybridoma cell line 10G4 is used to produce the monoclonal antibody that binds specifically total aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2. The titer of the mouse ascites antibody produced by the 10G4 treated mouse is determined through non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the titer can reach up to 5.12×105. The monoclonal antibody against total aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 are used for better identification of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 with good consistency. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of the antibody against aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 are 2.09 ng/mL, 2.23 ng/mL, 2.19 ng/mL and 3.21 ng/mL respectively. The range of cross reaction rate for aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 is about 65.2%-100%. The antibody is used for quantitative measurement of total aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2.

  • Publication number: 20140005419
    Abstract: Provided herein is a straightforward and efficient method for covalently attaching a polyethylene glycol polymer to a taxane. The method involves, among other things, a step of reacting a taxame with a polyethylene glycol polymer comprising a functional group reactive with a functional group within said taxane in the presence of a coupling reagent and DPTS. The result of the reacting step is the formation of a polyethylene glycol-taxane conjugate.

  • Publication number: 20130237441
    Abstract: The molecular mechanism underlying degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA), is not fully understood. Disruption of mitogen inducible gene 6 (Mig-6) in mice by homologous recombination (KO mice) led to early onset OA as revealed by simultaneous enlargement and deformity of multiple joints, degradation of articular cartilage and the development of bony outgrowths or osteophytes within the joint space. The latter appeared to be derived from proliferation of mesenchymal progenitor cells followed by differentiation into chondrocytes. Because of the striking similarity to human OA, Mig-6 KO mice arc a useful animal model for studying the mechanism of this disease and for testing new drugs or therapies for treating OA. These KO mice also developed epithelial hyperplasia, adenoma, and adenocarcinoma in organs such as lung, gallbladder, and bile duct. Mig-6 is therefore a tumor suppressor gene and is a candidate gene for the frequent Ip36 genetic alterations found in lung cancer.
