radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, have created new innovations in diagnosis, research and therapy of disease in last 2 decades. one of the serious limitation of applications of radiolabeled antibodies in vivo is relatively low target to background activity. various strategies have been proposed to solve this problem including pre-targeting methods that was suggested in 1989. regarding importa...

We present here an improved RNA purification method using fast performance liquid chromatography (FPLC) size-exclusion chromatography in place of denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The method allows preparation of milligram quantities of pure RNA in a single day. As RNA oligonucleotides behave differently from globular proteins in the size-exclusion column, we present standar...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE beta-thalassaemia is a genetic disorder and an important health problem around the world. Quantitative haemoglobin A(2) (HbA(2)) levels are used for the diagnosis of beta-thalassaemia. The conventional methods are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electrophoresis, and microcolumn chromatography techniques. We established a fast protein liquid chromatography (...

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently gained growing interest for their diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Despite this, few protocols been reported the isolation of EVs with preserved biological function. Most EV purification methods include a precipitation step that results in aggregation most available techniques do not efficiently separate various types such as exosomes ect...

Recently, multidimensional shotgun proteomics has proven to be an alternative technology able to identify hundreds of proteins from single samples. Two major limitations of the technology are the presence of high abundance proteins (e.g. RUBISCO in plant leaf tissue) and the enormous number of co-eluting peptides that overstrain the loading and resolving capacity of conventional particle-packed...

Bacteriocins have been isolated both as simple proteins and as proteins in association with carbohydrates, lipids, etc. Colicins are commonly inducible and extracellular. Their molecular masses range from 30 to 90 kDa. Pure colicin S8 was obtained in three steps from supernatant of induced cells: (i) Ammonium sulfate precipitation; (ii) anion exchange chromatography; and (iii) phenyl-Sepharose ...
