When administered in serum, an efficacious therapeutic antibody should be homogeneous to minimize immune reactions or injection site irritation during administration. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) phase separation is one type of inhomogeneity observed in serum, and thus screening potential phase separation of mAbs in serum could guide lead optimization. However, serum contains numerous components, ...

We demonstrate optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) of lipid-rich tissue using a multi-wavelength pulsed laser based on nonlinear fiber optics. 1047 nm laser pulses are converted to 1098, 1153, 1215, and 1270 nm pulses via stimulated Raman scattering in a graded-index multimode fiber. Multispectral PAM of a lipid phantom is demonstrated with our low-cost and simple technique.

Preliminary results from the Mark II and Crystal Ball experiments on radiative transitions from the $ to ordinary hadrons are presented. In addition to the previously observed transitions to the n, n'(958), and f(1270), both groups observe a transition to a state which is tentatively identified as the E(1420).

UNLABELLED Many immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms play a role in asthma etiology. The aim of this study was to investigate the susceptibility of asthma patients in the Turkish population with demonstrating genes for polymorphisms in TIM1, TSLP and IL18R1. All of the genomic DNA samples were isolated from blood samples according to a standard salting-out protocol. DNA samples were stored a...
