Objective: To modified the classic dithiothreitol (DTT) method for treating red blood cells (RBCs) in Technical Manual of American Association of Blood Banks(AABB) and evaluate its application value in pre-transfusion examination of patients treated with daratumumab.
Methods: The classic 0.2 mol/L DTT method was improved in terms of PBS, DTT concentration, donor RBCs concentration (suspended/packed) and sample processing time. The modified DTT methods and AABB classic DTT method were applied to the blood matching tests of 12 multiple myeloma patients treated with daratumumab. The effect of treating panel RBCs with modified DTT methods on the detection of other irregular antibodies was evaluated by using antiserum and antibody reagents with known antibody properties.
Results: Two modified DTT methods were established (method 1: changed the concentration of DTT to 0.01 mol/L; method 2: changed the concentration of DTT to 0.02 mol/L and replaced the packed RBCs with 3% RBCs suspension). The optimal treatment time was 35 min for the modified DTT methods. At this time, the pan-agglutination caused by daratumumab was eliminated, but the detection of antibodies such as anti-E, anti-JK, anti-M were not affected, and the titer of anti-K antibodies was only slightly decreased.
Conclusion: The modified DTT methods were effective, which can eliminate the interference of daratumumab while retaining the activity of the Kell blood group system, and can replace the current classic DTT method in AABB Technical Manual.

The analytical quality of compounds subjected to high-throughput screening (HTS) impacts accurate interpretation of assay results, with poor quality samples potentially leading to false negatives or positives. The Tox21 "10K" library consists of over 8900 unique compounds, spanning a diverse landscape of environmental and pharmaceutical chemicals, posing opportunities and challenges for analytical quality control (QC) determinations. Tox21 sample plates stored in DMSO at ambient conditions for 0 (T0) and/or 4 months (T4), totaling more than 13K unique sample identifiers (Tox21 IDs), were subjected to various analyses, including liquid and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS, GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) has been identified as one of the promising chemotherapeutic targets in cancer cells. Therefore, a novel TXNRD1 inhibitor could accelerate chemotherapy in clinical anticancer research. In this study, glaucocalyxin A (GlauA), a natural diterpene extracted from Rabdosia japonica var.

Synthetic liposomes are widely used as drug delivery vehicles in biomedical treatments, such as for mRNA-based antiviral vaccines like those recently developed against SARS-CoV-2. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are naturally produced by cells, have emerged as a next-generation delivery system. However, key questions regarding their origin within cells remain unresolved.

The recent advances in pigeon pea genomics, including high-quality whole genome and chloroplast genome sequence information helped develop improved varieties. However, a comprehensive Cajanus proteome, including the organelle proteome, is yet to be fully mapped. The spatial delineation of pigeon pea proteins at sub-cellular levels and inter-organelle communication could offer valuable insights into its defense mechanism against various stresses.
