Published: September 1989

The avidin-biotin system was adapted in view of the identification and dosage of the Sendai parainfluenza virus and of its antigens, using the method of double antibodies (biotinylated and nonbiotinylated) in ELISA type tests.

Corosolic acid (CA), a natural triterpenoid, exhibits various biological activities and is often called as plant-derived insulin due to its significant hypoglycemic effects, making it especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes or high blood glucose levels. However, CA has notable in vitro toxicity, low water solubility, and poor pharmacokinetic properties. To address these limitations, a series of CA derivatives were synthesized, resulting in the identification of derivative H26, which demonstrates a significantly enhanced hypoglycemic effect, reduced toxicity, and improved pharmacokinetic characteristics compared to CA.

Despite being anucleated cell fragments, platelets are now widely recognized for their multifaceted abilities. Not only do they form blood clots to prevent bleeding after injury, but they also fight infections and maintain vascular integrity during inflammatory diseases. While hemostatic plugs require the collective activation and aggregation of platelets, their role in protecting inflamed blood vessels is performed at the single-cell level.

Background: Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy of cancer has the potential to increase tumor specific uptake of activity when compared with conventional radioimmunotherapy. This is especially true in radioimmunotherapy with nuclides that exhibit a relatively short half-life. When administering antibody-based pretargeting molecules systemically, the antibodies often show a relatively slow clearance from the blood.

A novel mertansine conjugate for acid-reversible targeted drug delivery validated through the Avidin-Nucleic-Acid-NanoASsembly platform.

In targeted cancer therapy, antibody-drug-conjugates using mertansine (DM1)-based cytotoxic compounds rely on covalent bonds for drug conjugation. Consequently, the cytotoxic DM1 derivative released upon their proteolytic digestion is up to 1000-fold less potent than DM1 and lacks a bystander effect. To overcome these limitations, we developed a DM1 derivative (keto-DM1) suitable for bioconjugation through an acid-reversible hydrazone bond.
