Objective: The effects of natural adjuvants were examined on total and differential WBC counts in lung lavage of sensitized guinea pigs. Materials and Methods: In three sensitized groups of guinea pigs including: untreated sensitized animals (S), sensitized animals treated with adjuvant G2 (S+G2) and G2F (S+G2F) as well as non-sensitized group (C) (n=6 for each group), total and differential WB...

A novel ratiometric luminescence nanoprobe based on layered terbium hydroxide nanosheets can selectively detect dipicolinic acid, which is an anthrax biomarker.

A series of high-pressure electrical resistivity measurements on single crystals of TbTe3 reveal a complex phase diagram involving the interplay of superconducting, antiferromagnetic and charge-density-wave order. The onset of superconductivity reaches a maximum of almost 4 K (onset) near approximately 12.4 GPa.

Terbium ions were installed on nodes of a two-dimensional Zr-based MOF, and the material was applied for photoluminescence nitrite detection.

Self-assembled lipid vesicles with embedded amphiphilic terbium(III) complexes show a strong temperature dependence of their phosphorescence intensity and lifetime in the physiological range.

The interaction of the trivalent lanthanides Ce(III), Eu(III), and Tb(III) with sodium deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in aqueous solution has been studied using their luminescence spectra and decays. Complexation with DNA is indicated by changes in luminescence intensity. In the system terbium(III)-DNA, changes in luminescence with pH are suggested to be due to the protonation of phosphate groups....

Luminescence Resonance Energy Transfer, or LRET, is a powerful technique used to measure distances between two sites in proteins within the distance range of 10-100 Å. By measuring the distances under various ligated conditions, conformational changes of the protein can be easily assessed. With LRET, a lanthanide, most often chelated terbium, is used as the donor fluorophore, affording advantag...

Terbium(III) was coordinated to four novel 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) amphiphilic bisamide ligands. The complexes were assembled into mono-disperse micellar nano-aggregates and for the first time Tb(III) has been evaluated as a single lanthanide negative bimodal contrast agent for MRI/OI. The complexes show characteristic Tb(III) emission with quantum yields...
