Avidin acylation prevents the complement-dependent lysis of avidin-carrying erythrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1991
Non-covalent binding of avidin to biotinylated erythrocytes results in complement-dependent haemolysis. Biotinylated erythrocytes, as well as native cells, are not lysed by complement. Complement activation requires a tight contact between avidin and the erythrocyte membrane, since avidin does not in itself activate complement and does not inhibit ...

Neural Stem Cell Spreading on Lipid Based Artificial Cell Surfaces, Characterized by Combined X-ray and Neutron Reflectometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We developed a bioadhesive coating based on a synthetic peptide-conjugate (AK-cycloRGDfC]) which contains multiples of the arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) amino acid sequence.

Hormone-receptor studies with avidin and biotinylinsulin-avidin complexes.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1980
Avidin can be labeled to high specific radioactivity by introducing 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-propionyl groups into the molecule (pHPP-avidin). 125I-pHPP-avidin binds avidly to rat liver plasma membranes and is not displaced by unlabeled pHPP-avidin. Nonspecific binding of 125I-pHPP-avidin can be substantially reduced by succinoylation of pHPP-avidin with ...

Myeloid p38 activation maintains macrophage–liver crosstalk and BAT thermogenesis through IL‐12–FGF21 axis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Physiological activation of myeloid p38 controls macrophage IL‐12 production and crosstalk to the liver by modulating hepatic FGF21, and subsequently, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis during obesity Abstract Obesity features excessive fat accumulation in several body tissues and induces a state of chronic low‐grade inflammation that contributes to ...

AFM imaging of functionalized double-walled carbon nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present a comparative study of several non-covalent approaches to disperse, debundle and noncovalently functionalize double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs).

Heat Stability of Avidin and Avidin-Biotin Complex and Influence of Ionic Strength on Affinity of Avidin for Biotin.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1964
SummaryAn assay method involving the use of radioactive biotin and Sephadex chromatography was used to determine avidin and/or the avidin-biotin complex. It was demonstrated that avidin is relatively heat labile while the avidin-biotin complex is relatively heat stable.

Bifunctional avidin with covalently modifiable ligand binding site. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The extensive use of avidin and streptavidin in life sciences originates from the extraordinary tight biotin-binding affinity of these tetrameric proteins.

Ultrasound assisted siRNA delivery using PEG-siPlex loaded microbubbles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Short interfering RNA (siRNA) attracts much attention for the treatment of various diseases. However, its delivery, especially via systemic routes, remains a challenge. Indeed, naked siRNAs are rapidly degraded, while complexed siRNAs massively aggregate

Biotin-Avidin-Mediated Capture of Microspheres on Polymer Fibers

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Systems for efficient and selective capture of micro-scale objects and structures have application in many areas and are of particular relevance for selective isolation of mammalian cells. Systems for the latter should also not interfere with the biology
