Selection for Anti-transferrin Receptor Bispecific T-cell Engager in Different Molecular Formats.

Selecting an ideal molecular format from diverse structures is a major challenge in developing a bispecific antibody (BsAb). To choose an ideal format of anti-CD3 × anti-transferrin receptor (TfR) bispecific antibodies for clinical application, we constructed TfR bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) in two extensively applied formats, including single-chain tandem single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) and double-chain diabodies, and evaluated their functional characterizations in vitro. Results demonstrated that TfR-BiTE in both formats directed potent killing of TfR HepG2 cells.

Selection of key sequence-based features for prediction of essential genes in 31 diverse bacterial species.

Genes that are indispensable for survival are essential genes. Many features have been proposed for computational prediction of essential genes. In this paper, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to screen key sequence-based features related to gene essentiality.

[The effects of si-wu-tang on serum protein of blood deficient mice induced by radiation].

Objective: To study the effects of Si-Wu-Tang on serum protein of blood deficient mice b y proteomicstechnique and study the enriching and regulating blood mechanism of Si-Wu-Tang on mocular level.

Method: The blood deficient mice was induced by using a single dose of 3.5 Gy radiation from a 60Cogamma source, and high resolution two-dimensional polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE), computer-assisted image analysis, and mass spectrometry were used to detect regulated protein by Si-Wu-Tang.
