Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method of detecting the presence of tumor infiltrating Fc receptor-expressing immune cells in a mammalian subject afflicted with a cancer or detecting the presence of one or more site(s) of inflammation characterized by Fc receptor-expressing immune cells in a mammalian subject afflicted with an inflammatory disease or disorder, the method comprising administering a non-specific imaging probe comprising one or more Fc domain(s) labeled with a detectable moiety to the subject; subjecting the subject to imaging; and identifying one or more tumor(s) or sites of inflammation comprising infiltrating Fc receptor-expressing immune cells.

Abstract:
The present application relates to a method of producing protein products comprising extracting water soluble protein extracts from pulse or hemp, and de-flavouring the water soluble protein extract using suitable non-polar resins. Further, the present application relates to the protein products produced using the methods of the present application and uses thereof. The present application also relates to food and/or health products formulated with the protein products.
Abstract:
Mycobacterial antigens, such as MAP and M. bovis antigens, are described. The antigens can be used in subunit compositions to elicit immune responses in order to prevent and/or control mycobacterial infections, as well as in diagnostics in order to detect mammals infected with mycobacteria.
Abstract:
The present application relates to novel 3'-unsaturated abscisic acid (ABA) derivatives of Formula (I) as ABA antagonists. For example, the present application relates to methods of using compounds of Formula (I) for reducing adverse effects of an ABA response in plants such as lentil and promoting germination. (I) The present application also relates to methods of using 3'-phenyl abscisic acid (ABA) derivatives of Formula (II) as ABA antagonists, for example, for reducing adverse effects of an ABA response in plants such as lentil and promoting germination.

Abstract:
An Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, HER1, ErbB1)-binding agent has a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein the dimerization loop from EGFR's Domain II is grafted within complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) of the heavy chain, and the binding agent is affinity matured. The graft directs the binding agent to bind EGFR at its dimerization region, to thereby inhibit EGFR dimerization and activation. In another embodiment, an EGFR-binding agent is panned out of Library F, a Fab library. The binding agents are for detecting and/or quantifying EGFR expression, for targeting EGFR-expressing cells, and for decreasing levels of EGFR in EGFR-expressing cells.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are described herein for a vaginal probe for measuring at least one physiological activity (i.e. at least one property) of a female user's urinary continence system. The probe comprises a semi-enlarged section at a distal portion thereof, the semi-enlarged section having a head portion with a height and a width that is larger than the height, and a transitional portion having a first end adjacent to the semi-enlarged section and an opposite second end, the transitional portion having a similar height as the head portion and a width that that is tapered from the first end to the second end; a cylindrical section at a proximal portion of the probe, the cylindrical section having a first end adjacent to the second end of the transitional portion of the semi-enlarged section; and sensors for recording data to measure the at least one physiological activity of the female user's urinary continence system.
Abstract:
Immunogens, compositions and methods for treating, preventing and/or diagnosing PEDV infection in pigs are disclosed. The compositions and methods use inactivated or attenuated virus-containing vaccines, or subunit vaccines, including immunogens and mixtures of immunogens derived from PEDV isolates.
