Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) PD-L1 are an important biomarker for predicting immunotherapy response and can help us understand the mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy. However, this is due to the interference from a large proportion of nontumor-derived EVs. It is still challenging to accurately analyze T-EVs PD-L1 in complex human fluids.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are among the leading vectors for in vivo gene therapy. The purification of AAV remains a bottleneck as it typically requires multiple individual process steps, often resulting in product loss and high costs. Current downstream processes are usually serotype-specific and rely primarily on expensive affinity resins.

Background: Midges are widely distributed globally. They can transmit numerous serious diseases as well as trigger an allergic reaction in the host. Their saliva contains a variety of proteins that act as sensitizers to stimulate the host's immune response, leading to IgE-mediated allergic symptoms.

This study aimed to develop molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles specifically for the selective extraction and enrichment of progesterone (P) from royal jelly (RJ), and quantitatively analyzed them by ultra-performance-liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS). Gaussian software-based theoretical calculations identified methacrylic acid (MAA) as the optimal functional monomer for its strong binding affinity to P. MIP was synthesized by precipitation polymerization, and the preparation process of MIP was optimized by one-way variance design and response surface methodology.

Identification of Key Amino Acids in the A Domains of Polymyxin Synthetase Responsible for 2,4-Diaminobutyric Acid Adenylation in NBRC3020 Strain.

ACS Chem Biol

Developing novel nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) requires a comprehensive understanding of the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis, particularly the substrate amino acid recognition mechanisms in the adenylation (A) domain. This study focused on the A domain responsible for adenylating l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (l-Dab) within the synthetase of polymyxin, an NRP produced by NBRC3020. To date, investigations into recombinant proteins that selectively adenylate l-Dab─exploring substrate specificity and enzymatic activity parameters─have been limited to reports on A domains found in enzymes synthesizing l-Dab homopolymers (pldA from USE31 and pddA from NBRC15115), which remain exceedingly rare.
