SPECT imaging and biodistribution study were performed at 28-48 h after the injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt. Three groups of nude mice subcutaneously grafted with human colon carcinoma were treated 7 d after the graft. Mice in the avidin chase group received intravenous injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt (11.1 MBq/20 μg) followed by intravenous injection of cold avidin (80 μg) after 24 h. Mice in the control group (treated group without avidin chase) only received the injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt (11.1 MBq/20 μg), another control group (non-treated group) only received 0.1 mL normal saline solution. Toxicity was evaluated on the basis of change of body weight and peripheral WBC counts, and therapy effects were determined by variation in tumor volume. Histological analysis of tumors was also performed.RESULTS: Avidin chase markedly accelerated the clearance of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt from the blood and normal tissues. The tumor uptakes of 188Re-CEA Mc Ab-Bt at 28 h were 5.90 and 6.42% ID/g, respectively, in chase group and in non-chase group, while the tumor-to-background (T/NT) ratios were 3.19 and 0.56, respectively. The tumor uptake was slightly decreased by avidin chase, but the T/NT ratios were increased. In treated groups the growth rate of body weight and the number of WBC decreased after injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt, and the WBC counts recovered earlier in the group with avidin chase than in the group without avidin chase. Compared to the nontreated group, treated groups with and without avidin chase showed significant anti-tumor effects.CONCLUSION: Avidin chase can effectively reduce the side effects of RIT, and improve therapeutic efficacy.展开更多

The experimental procedure involves the growth of a self-assembled monolayer of a thiol (cysteamine) carrying terminal amine groups on gold electrodes. Glutarardehyde, a homobifunctional cross-linker, was used as a coupling reagent for the covalent linking of avidin to the amine groups of cysteamine. The attachment of the biotin labeled antibodies (anti-Human IgG) to the subsequent modified gold electrode was achieved by affinity interactions tacking advantage of the strong avidin-biotin bridge. The stepwise assembly process of the electrode was interrogated by means of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. The response of the antibody modified electrode to their target antigens was investigated in the presence of BSA (bovin serum albumin) in order to alleviate non-specific adsorption problems. A proposed electrical model was used to analyse the experimental data. The resulting immunosensor has a linear dynamic range of 100 - 900 ng?ml<sup>–</sup>1 of antigen and a detection limit of 100 ng?ml<sup>–</sup>1.展开更多

The a...In the present study, we developed a novel open-tubular capillary dectrochromatographic method using avidin-phospholipid vesicle complex as the stationary phase for chiral separation of mexiletine hydrochloride. The avidin immobilized on the phospholipid vesicle consisting of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) and L-u-phosphatidyl-L-serine (PS) (80:20, mg%) was coated in the capillary. The homogeneity and separation performance of the coating were evaluated in terms o f phospholipid vesicle characterization and the resolution of D,L-Tryptophan. As for mexiletine hydrochloride, four vital parameters affecting the separation efficiency of coating capillary, including buffer type, buffer pH, buffer concentration and the applied voltage, were studied in detail. Under the optimum conditions, the enantiomers could be separated well with good resolution. All the satisfactory results indicated that this method using avidin-phospholipid vesicle complex as the stationary phase was suitable and feasible, which had great potential in pharmaceutical separation Of enantiomers.展开更多
Avidin-liposome complex is a specific chiral selector used to separate the enantiomers of D,L-tryptophan,D,L-phenylthiohydantoin -serine(D,L-PTH-Ser),D,L-phenylthiohydantoin-threonine(D,L-PTH-Thr) and R,S-pioglita...Avidin-liposome complex is a specific chiral selector used to separate the enantiomers of D,L-tryptophan,D,L-phenylthiohydantoin -serine(D,L-PTH-Ser),D,L-phenylthiohydantoin-threonine(D,L-PTH-Thr) and R,S-pioglitazone hydrochloride in capillary electrochromatography(CEC).The avidin is immobilized on the phospholipids coated in the capillary.The liposome used for the phospholipid coating contains l,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(Cap biotinyl)(sodium salt) (Biotinyl-cap-DPPE)(16:0) and different proportions of L-α-phosphatidylserine(PS) in Tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) buffer at pH 7.4.A good resolution and reproducibility was obtained by coating the capillary with Biotinyl-cap-DPPE/PS (80:20,mol%) followed by immobilization of 1 mg/mL of avidin solution in N-(2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (HEPES) buffer at pH 7.4.A comparative study of chiral separation efficiency with different capillary coating methods and preconditioning conditions was conducted.Finally,the electrochromatographic method was successfully used to separate enantiomers of pioglitazone hydrochloride.Therefore,coated CEC will be a promising tool for pharmaceutical enantiomers separation in new drug development.展开更多

The bioidentification of biotin/avidin was carried out through a indirect method, in which the bioidentification is based on the SERS response signal of a labeled dye(Atto610) after its fluorescence has been quenched totally by the deposited Ag nanoparticle membrane. By SERS monitoring the bioidentification process of biotin/avidin, it has been found that this recognition process is finished in 40 min. The lowest detection concentration of biotin is 1.0 × 10^-7 mg/mL. This research is promising in the application of immunoassays on line and in vivo.展开更多

In contrast to forming three-dimensional(3D) crystals, many proteins can form two-dimensional (2D) crystals easily. There have been several approaches to making 2D crystals. Lipid layer crystallization is a novel 2D crystallization method developed by Kornberg group. Some water-soluble proteins have been crystallized successfully by this method, and it can be possibly used to crystallize some intrinsic membrane proteins. The formed 2D crystals are展开更多
