Article history: Received 2 October 2017 Accepted 2 October 2017 Available online 3 October 2017 tests used specific monoclonal antibodies in a sandwich ELISA to detect the antigens in sera and urine but the technique has been progressively improved and converted to dipstick format for non-invasive, point-ofcare testing on urine samples (the POC-CCA cassette). Although this appears to be more s...

In a 34-year-old patient, sternal resection was necessary for complete removal of a primary mediastinal myxoid liposarcoma grade I, which had grown around the right sternal border. Reconstruction was by the methylmethacrylate sandwich technique. Five months postoperatively part of the device had to be removed due to persistent inflammation. Two years after the initial operation there is no evid...

Most reports from the United States suggest Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes feed minimally on humans. Given the abundance of C. quinquefasciatus in residential Tucson and parts of metropolitan Phoenix, and the arrival of West Nile virus to this area, discovering the blood meal hosts of the local population is important. Using a sandwich ELISA technique, the local C. quinquefasciatus were foun...

*Correspondence: Miroslav Slouf , Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Heyrovsky Sq. 2, 162 06 Prague 6, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected] We introduce a dynamic sandwich method, which can be used for in situ observation and quantification of polymer crystallization nucleated by micro/nanoparticles. The method was applied on polyoxymethylene (P...

scale transmission loss facility for flat lightweight panels. Abstract: The design, construction and qualification of a small-scale sound transmission loss (STL) facility are described. STL measurements were made using the sound intensity technique based on ASTM E 2249-02 [1]. The volume of the irregular-shaped reverberant source chamber was 15 m 3 , and the volume of the regular-shaped anechoi...

Attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) to proteins can mask immune epitopes to increase serum half-life, reduce immunogenicity, and enhance in vivo biological efficacy. However, PEGylation mediated epitope-masking may also limit sensitivity and accuracy of traditional ELISA. We previously described an anti-PEG-based sandwich ELISA for universal assay of PEGylated molecules. Here, we compared the q...

introduction: plastination is a unique technique for preservation of biological specimens used for teaching purposes. the protocol of flexible sheet plastination includes fixation, slicing, dehydration, force impregnation, casting, and curing (hajian, rabiei, fatollahpour & esfandiary, 2008). the procedure is done by using p87 flexible unsaturated polyester resin and provides heavy, gross, frag...

  In this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. The core of Sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic and K-aryl/epoxy covering. The governing equations are deduced from the First order Sheer Deformation Theory (FSDT) and they are solved using Generalized Differential Quadrature Met...

The objective of this work is to study the large deflection of geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich beam under transverse loading by a fiat punch. A yield criterion is proposed for geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich structures, and then analytical solution for the large deflection of a fully clamped slender sandwich beam is obtained, in which the interaction of bendi...

Platelet glycoprotein lb (GpIb), a receptor for von Willebrand’s factor (vWF), was studied by way of fluorescence flow cytometry. Using a sandwich staining technique, Gplb was identified by a monoclonal antibody (6Di ) directed against an epitope close to the vWF binding site. Platelets from normal individuals were symmetrically distributed with respect to Gplb content. Treatment of washed plat...
