Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is closely related to aggressive tumor behavior and could be a broader biomarker for cancer prognosis and diagnosis. The goal of this study is to develop a sandwich ELISA system to test if HDGF can be detected in serum samples. We produced an anti-HDGF monoclonal antibody designated 2F12 using recombinant human HDGF protein. The specificity of 2F12 mAb was characterized by western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescent staining (IF) and immunoprecipitation (IP). The results showed that 2F12 recognized HDGF in both native and denatured form, and can be used for multiple purposes. We have found that HDGF is also expressed in several cancers unreported previously by IHC staining on tumor cell array sections. In addition, we have developed a sandwich ELISA assay using mAb 2F12 and rabbit anti-HDGF polyclonal antibody, and validated the assay using normal serum and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) serum samples. The sensitivity of this assay is 0.5 ng/ml and the linear range is 0.5-32 ng/ml. The HDGF average level in serum samples from lung cancer patients is significantly elevated relative to that from healthy controls, 9.43+/-6.13 ng/ml versus 4.36+/-2.50 ng/ml (p=1.12E-10).

Background: Soluble Alpha-Klotho (S-αklotho) protein and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) have emerged as potential modulators for activating and recruiting Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT). The present study aimed to investigate whether circulating S-αklotho and 25-OH-D levels are related to BAT volume, Fluorine-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake, and BAT radiodensity in young healthy adults.
Methods: A total of 128 participants (68% women) aged 18-25 years old participated in this cross-sectional study.
Association of blood biomarkers for neural injury with recent, frequent exposure to partnered sexual strangulation in young adult women.

Background: "Choking" or partnered strangulation is an emerging and popular sexual behavior that is more often experienced by young women, yet the neurobiological consequences of partnered sexual strangulation remain unclear.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess differences in 5 brain-injury blood biomarkers in young adult women who frequently engaged in sexual strangulation.
Methods: Young adult women were recruited from a large Midwestern university and assigned to groups based on sexual strangulation experience: (1) at least 4 instances of being strangled by a partner during sexual activities in the past 30 days or (2) no prior experience being strangled by a sexual partner.

The sandwich ELISA (sELISA) targeting sarcoplasmic calcium binding protein (SCP) is significantly influenced by food matrices, yet the mechanisms are unclear. To clarify the comprehensive effects of environments, matrices, and processing, SCP treated with diverse temperatures, pH, and matrices was subjected to ELISA, electrophoresis, multispectroscopic and molecular simulation assays. Recoveries of sELISA and indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) were inhibited above 80 °C and 100 °C due to the unfolding of SCP.
