Hydrophobic interaction high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using TSKgel Phenyl-5PW was applicable to single-step purification of F(ab')2 fragments from pepsin digests of mouse monoclonal antibodies of IgG1 class. The digests were applied to the gel equilibrated with phosphate-buffered saline containing 1 M ammonium sulfate. F(ab')2 fragments were adsorbed onto the gel using the same ...

The purpose of the study was to develop an optimized thermoreversible in situ gelling ophthalmic drug delivery system based on Pluronic F 127, containing moxifloxacin hydrochloride as a model drug. A 3(2) full factorial design was employed with two polymers: Pluronic F 68 and Gelrite as independent variables used in combination with Pluronic F 127. Gelation temperature, gel strength, bioadhesio...

Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

The purpose of this study was to compare the oral fluoride (F) retention following acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) foam and gel applications in children. Fifty-nine children were divided into two groups, 6-9 years old and 10-13 years old. They each received a randomly assigned sequence of topical F foam and gel applications in two consecutive visits, using either sponge-lined or unlined tra...

Analytical expressions for the magnetization and the longitudinal conductivity of nanowires are derived in a magnetic field, B. We show that the interplay between size and magnetic field energy-level quantizations manifests itself through novel magnetic quantum oscillations in metallic nanowires. There are three characteristic frequencies of de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH)...

We measure the time change of the contact force F(t) during the impact between very soft gel balls and a rigid substrate. For low-impact velocities Vi, F(t) is single-peak functions as intuitively expected; and the relation between Vi and the peak value Fm [of F(t)] obeys the prediction of the standard theory for the impact in the linear elastic regime (i.e., the Hertz theory). On the other han...

BACKGROUND Endovascular aortic repairs have been developed as less invasive treatments for aortic aneurysms. Some aneurismal cavities, however, remain without organization, causing a re-expansion of the aneurysms. We studied cell transplantation into the aneurismal sac to promote the organization of thrombus for the complete healing of aneurysms. METHODS AND RESULTS Skin fibroblasts and skele...
