The presence of α2,6-sialic acids on the Fc N-glycan provides anti-inflammatory properties to the IgGs through a mechanism that remains unclear. Fc-sialylated IgGs are rare in humans as well as in industrial host cell lines such as Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Facilitated access to well-characterized α2,6-sialylated IgGs would help elucidate the mechanism of this intriguing IgG's effector...

We evaluated a laser-based noncontacting method to measure the elastic anisotropy of horizontal shale cores. Whereas conventional transducer data contained an ambiguity between phase and group velocity measurements, small laser source and receiver footprints on typical core samples ensured group velocity information in our laboratory measurements. With a single dense acquisition of group veloci...
