Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of antibodies targeting minichromosome maintenance proteins MCM6 and MCM7 to improve the detection of cervical disease, as current screening methods like the Papanicolaou test miss some cases.
- Researchers screened hybridoma clones against tissue samples to identify specific antibodies, ultimately selecting two (2E6.7 for MCM7 and 9D4.3 for MCM6) based on their strong performance in recognizing abnormal cervical cells with minimal interference from normal tissues.
- Findings include the successful characterization of the antibodies' epitopes and their high affinity, suggesting potential for enhanced sensitivity in cervical cancer detection through immunocytochemistry.
The objective of this longitudinal study was to determine the feasibility of a model for disseminating community-based strength training programs for older adults through leadership training of laypersons or "peers" and health and fitness professionals. The intervention consisted of a progressive strength training, balance, and flexibility exercise program and a leader training and certification workshop. Feasibility was defined as 75% or more of individuals who completed leader training establishing or teaching at least two 12-week strength training classes within 1 year.
