A Universal Biomimetic Approach for Making Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Activation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study shows a biomimetic silica microcapsule (SMC) fabrication method under mild conditions for making artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs). Inspired by marine biomineralization, peptide‐mediated biosilicification enables silica shell formation on emulsion templates. The resulting SMCs possess a core–shell structure, controlled fluorescence

Immunohistochemical pitfalls in the demonstration of insulin-degrading enzyme in normal and neoplastic human tissues [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Previously, we have identified the cytoplasmic zinc metalloprotease insulin-degrading enzyme(IDE) in human tissues by an immunohistochemical method involving no antigen retrieval (AR) by pressure cooking to avoid artifacts by endogenous biotin exposure and a detection kit based on the labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) method. Thereby, we also employed

Combining fluorescence fluctuations and photobleaching to quantify surface density [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We establish a method, called pbFFS for photobleaching Fluctuation Fluorescence Spectroscopy, which aims at characterizing molecules or particles labelled with a unknown distribution or fluorophores. Using photobleaching as a control parameter, pbFFS provides information on the distribution of labels and a more reliable estimation of the absolute ...

Biotin induced biochemical hyperthyroidism: a case report and review of the literature
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2023 Background Biotin is a commonly used supplement for hair, nail, and skin. Recent literature suggests that high-dose biotin therapy for neurological diseases like Multiple sclerosis can interfere with lab results that use biotin/streptavidin immunoassay ...

PUB-MS - a mass-spectrometry-based method to monitor protein-protein proximity in vivo [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The common techniques to study protein-protein proximity in vivo are not well-adapted to the capabilities and the expertise of a standard proteomics laboratory, typically based on the use of mass spectrometry. With the aim of closing this gap, we have developed PUB-MS (for Proximity Utilizing Biotinylation and Mass Spectrometry), an approach to monitor
