Application of Magnetic Particles for Fast Determination of Immunoreactive Fraction of Ga-Labelled VHH Antibodies to PD-L1.

Unlabelled: Quantification of the immunoreactive fraction (IRF) of radioactive isotope-labeled antibodies or their fragments is necessary to assess the specific activity of radiopharmaceuticals. Traditionally, cells expressing the target molecules on their surface are used to determine IRF, but such analysis is time-consuming and has difficulties with standardization. was to develop a fast and reliable method for quantitative determination of IRF by Ga-labeled VHH antibodies to PD-L1 based on the use of magnetic particles coated with antigen molecules.

New highly sensitive sandwich ELISA system for soluble endoglin quantification in different biological fluids.

Soluble endoglin (sEng) is a fragment of a membrane-associated receptor (CD105) expressed on endothelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells and trophoblast cells. It is considered as a regulatory factor involved in the development of preeclampsia (PE) and cancer-associated neo-angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to describe a new sandwich ELISA for sEng quantification.

Characteristics of mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from patients with breast cancer.

Mesenchymal stromal cells were isolated from the adipose tissue obtained during surgery for breast cancer and cultured under conditions of normal or low oxygen concentrations. In patients that had received a course of radiation and polychemotherapy prior to surgery, the proliferative potential of mesenchymal stromal cells was irreversibly disturbed. In patients receiving no therapy prior to surgery, the morphological, growth, phenotypic, and differentiation characteristics of mesenchymal stromal cells did not differ from the corresponding parameters of mesenchymal stromal cells from healthy donors.

[Influence of mesenchymal stromal cells on B-cell line growth and immunoglobulin synthesis].

A number of publications contain contradictory data about influence of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) on B-lymphocyte growth, differentiation and production of immunoglobulins (Ig). The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of MSC derived from adipose tissue of healthy donors and cancer patients on the proliferation and Ig synthesis of lymphoblastoid cell line Namalva and myeloma cell line U266. Co-cultivation of Namalva cells with MSC stimulated their proliferation, decreased the doubling time and the minimal effective seeding dose and therefore made cloning of these lymphoblastoid cells possible.
