The inhibition of beef pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I activity with specific antibodies is studied using the hypochromic shift of DNA at 260 nm. The kinetics of this reaction reveals two reaction phases. The first phase, which ends within seconds, is reversible and follows second order kinetics. It leads quickly to the formation of big complexes. The second phase, which reaches completion within minutes before precipitation is detectable, is essentially irreversible and follows zero order kinetics. A model explaining these results is suggested.

Aim: To determine the utility of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG-IgA) and anti-deaminated gliadin peptide IgG antibodies (DGP-IgG) in detecting coeliac disease (CD) and whether DGP-IgG can replace anti-endomysial IgA antibody in the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition no-biopsy approach in diagnosing CD.
Methods: Children aged < 19 years who had paired tTG-IgA and DGP-IgG performed and had a gastroscopy with biopsies between 1 March 2016 and 31 October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Of 1206 patients who fulfilled the study criteria, 298 (24.

Purpose: Following the initial reports demonstrating the feasibility of immunoPET imaging of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) using gp120-targeting monoclonal antibodies in non-human primates, replication efforts of the imaging system in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals have yielded conflicting results. Herein, we used two anti-gp120 antibodies, 7D3 and ITS103.01LS-F(ab'), to interrogate the reproducibility of gp120-targeting probes for immunoPET imaging of SIV in rhesus macaques.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly resistant to ferroptosis, which hinders the application of anti-ferroptosis therapy. Through drug screening, it is found that histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) significantly sensitized CRC to ferroptosis. The combination of HDACi and ferroptosis inducers synergically suppresses CRC growth both in vivo and in vitro.

The presence of cancer stem cells is linked to aggressive disease and higher risk of recurrence, and multiple markers have been proposed to detect cancer stem cells. However, a detailed evaluation of the expression patterns and the prognostic value of markers relevant for endometrial cancer is lacking. As organoid models are suggested to be enriched in cancer stem cells, such models may prove valuable to define tissue-specific cancer stem cells.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a key class of biotherapeutic medicines used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and hemophilia. They can be engineered for greater effectiveness and specific applications while maintaining their structural elements for immune targeting. Traditional immunoglobulin treatments have limited therapeutic uses and various adverse effects.
