A monoclonal antibody to lactophorin (LP) was prepared by creating hybridoma from mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells from mice immunized with PAS-4 concentrated fraction from bovine milk fat globule membrane. The prepared antibody recognized a polypeptide moiety of LP27, the major component constituting LP, but not a carbohydrate moiety. Immunoblot analysis showed that all polypeptides (LP17, LP20, LP27, LP40, and LP50) constituting LP were recognized by the antibody. The identities of LP20, LP40, and LP50 were verified by N-terminal and internal amino acid sequencing. LP20 contains hydrolysate of LP27 besides LP27 without the O-glycosyl sugar chain. These results suggest that LP40 and LP50 are homo- or heterodimers of LP20 and LP27. This is the first report to the effect that LP was constructed from several forms of polypeptides, derived from LP27.

T-20 (enfuvirtide) is the only approved viral fusion inhibitor that is used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection; however, it has relatively low antiviral activity and easily induces drug resistance. We recently reported a T-20-based lipopeptide fusion inhibitor (LP-40) showing improved anti-HIV activity (X. Ding et al.

A two-dimensional ion chromatography (IC/IC) technique with heart-cutting mode for the separation of ionic organophosphates was developed. These analytes are generated during thermal degradation of three different commercially available Selectilyte™ lithium ion battery electrolytes. The composition of the investigated electrolytes is based on 1M lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) dissolved in ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate (50:50wt%, LP30), ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate (50:50wt%, LP40) and ethylene carbonate/ethyl methyl carbonate (50:50wt%, LP50).
