Russell-like bodies in plant seeds share common features with prolamin bodies and occur upon recombinant protein production [PDF]
Although many recombinant proteins have been produced in seeds at high yields without adverse effects on the plant, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and aberrant localization of endogenous or recombinant proteins have also been reported.

IgG light chain-independent secretion of heavy chain dimers: consequence for therapeutic antibody production and design [PDF]
Rodent monoclonal antibodies with specificity towards important biological targets are developed for therapeutic use by a process of humanisation. This process involves the creation of molecules, which retain the specificity of the rodent antibody but ...

Enzymic degradation of the Fc fragment of rabbit immunoglobulin IgG [PDF]
The digestion of the Fc fragment of rabbit immunoglobulin IgG by several proteolytic enzymes was investigated by using gel filtration and starch-gel electrophoresis in 8m-urea-formate as criteria of the extent of degradation. Though fragment Fc and mildly reduced fragment Fc proved resistant to tryptic hydrolysis, papain and pepsin cleaved the fragment

Structural Characterization of the Extracellular Domain of CASPR2 and Insights into Its Association with the Novel Ligand Contactin1 [PDF]
Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) encodes for CASPR2, a multidomain single transmembrane protein belonging to the neurexin superfamily that has been implicated in a broad range of human phenotypes including autism and language impairment.

Intracellular Antibodies for Drug Discovery and as Drugs of the Future
The application of antibodies in cells was first shown in the early 1990s, and subsequently, the field of intracellular antibodies has expanded to encompass antibody fragments and their use in target validation and as engineered molecules that can be ...

Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...
