Improved tumor targeting with chemically cross-linked recombinant antibody fragments.
The construction and use of recombinant chimeric and later fully humanized (CDR-grafted) antibodies to tumor-associated antigens has reduced the immune response generated to these antibodies in clinical studies. However, their long circulating half-life is a disadvantage for tumor imaging and therapy. Fragments such as F(ab')2, Fab', Fv and single chain Fv (scFv) offer faster blood clearance bu...
متن کاملComparison Of Long-term Conventional Uhmwpe Retrievals With Mid-term Moderately Cross-linked Uhmwpe Retrievals
Introduction: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the most widely used bearing surface option in total hip arthroplasty. Radiation cross-linking has improved the wear resistance of conventional UHMWPE. Radiation cross-linking also generates residual free radicals, adversely affecting long-term oxidative stability. Post irradiation melting is effectively used to eliminate residu...
متن کاملKnee Simulator Wear of Cross-linked Uhmwpe with Normal and Mal-rotation Kinematics
Introduction: Wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a major factor that affects longevity of the total joint replacement. In total hips (THR), cross-linking of polyethylene has been shown to be highly effective in reducing wear both clinically and experimentally [1-3]. Also, in TKR, Schmidig et al. [4] showed a 90% reduction of wear rate in 10 Mrad compared to 3 Mrad tibi...
متن کاملReduction of Total Knee Replacement Wear with Vitamin E doped highly cross linked UHMWPE
Introduction: Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a common bearing component in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) implants, and its susceptibility to wear continues to be the long-term limiting factor in the life of these implants. Novel material modifications have been introduced to reduce UHMWPE wear rates and thus improve the life of TKRs. Radiation and crosslinking of UHMWPE hav...
متن کاملThermal fluctuations in chemically cross-linked polymers of cyclodextrins.
The extent and nature of thermal fluctuations in the innovative class of cross-linked polymers called cyclodextrin nanosponges (CDNS) are investigated, on the picosecond time scale, through elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering experiments. Nanosponges are complex 3D polymer networks where covalent bonds connecting different cyclodextrin (CD) units and intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen-...
