Roles of Macrophages in Atherogenesis
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that may ultimately lead to local proteolysis, plaque rupture, and thrombotic vascular disease, resulting in myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. Circulating monocytes are recruited to

Omicron (B.1.1.529): Infectivity, vaccine breakthrough, and antibody resistance [PDF]
The latest severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant Omicron (B.1.1.529) has ushered panic responses around the world due to its contagious and vaccine escape mutations. The essential infectivity and antibody resistance of the SARS-CoV-2 variant are determined by its mutations on the spike (S) protein receptor-binding domain (

Pharmacokinetics of Monoclonal Antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have developed in the last two decades into the backbone of pharmacotherapeutic interventions in a variety of indications, with currently more than 40 mAbs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and several dozens more in clinical development. This tutorial will review major drug disposition processes relevant for

Dependence of endothelial cell growth on substrate-bound fibronectin [PDF]
A better understanding of the mechanism of adhesion, spreading and proliferation of human endothelial cells (HEC) on polymeric surfaces may lead to the development of vascular prostheses which allow the formation of an endothelial lining on the luminal ...

Daratumumab: a first-in-class CD38 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of multiple myeloma
Daratumumab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets CD38, a cell surface protein that is overexpressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Preclinical studies have shown that daratumumab induces MM cell death through several mechanisms, including ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Complete De Novo Assembly of Monoclonal Antibody Sequences
De novo protein sequencing is one of the key problems in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, especially for novel proteins such as monoclonal antibodies for which genome information is often limited or not available.

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Substantial Doubt Remains about the Efficacy of Anti-Amyloid Antibodies [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent, progressive, and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disorder that is defined pathologically by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. There remains an unmet need for therapies that can halt or slow the course of AD. To address this need, the FDA has provided a mechanism,

Clathrin structure characterized with monoclonal antibodies. I. Analysis of multiple antigenic sites. [PDF]
Three monoclonal antibodies that react with previously undefined antigenic determinants on the clathrin molecule have been produced and characterized. They were isolated from a fusion between myeloma cells and popliteal lymphocytes from SJL mice that had
