Abstract:
According to one aspect of the invention, a modified SnnullAgnullCu, lead-free solder alloy is disclosed. The alloy comprises an additive element selected from the group consisting of Au, Ni, Pd, Fe, Co, Zn, Cr and combinations thereof, present in the alloy in an amount effect to form an intermetallic interface between the alloy a substrate, the intermetallic interface having a composite structure without scallop formation and including Sn islands.
Abstract:
A culture medium, which is capable of sustaining long-term cultures of hepatocytes and liver cells. In this medium, mammalian primary hepatocytes retain highly replicative capacity and hepatic gene expression activity. The liver cells from genetically defined sources may be reproducibly immortalized without the delivery of foreign genes, such as viral oncogenes. The immortalized hepatocytes are non-tumorigenic, making them suitable for clinical and therapeutic purposes.
Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to a modified MC1R peptide ligand comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) ligand and a functionality or linker, such as a click functionality, for conjugation to a surface or agent. The modified MC1R peptide ligand can be coupled, e.g., via a click reaction with a complementary click functionality attached, to a moiety to form an MC1R-targeted agent. Drugs, contrast agents, polymers, particles, micelles, surfaces of larger structures, or other moieties can be targeted to the MC1R. The subject invention also pertains to a MC1R peptide ligand-micelle complex comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor ligand connected via a click reaction product to a micelle. The micelle is stable in vivo and can target melanoma tumor cells by association of the peptide ligand with the MC1R or the tumor and selectively provide a detectable and/or therapeutic agent (such as an imageable contrast agent and/or anti-cancer agent) selectively to the tumor cell.
Abstract:
Open tubular capillary columns for liquid and ion chromatography, based upon an ionically impermeable polyolefin capillary having a bore with a sulfonate-group- or amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may include a coating of ion exchanging nanoparticles electrostatically bound to the functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may be made by exposing the interior surface to a sulfonating reagent comprising chlorosulfonic acid (CISO3H), preferably from 85 wt % to 95 wt % chlorosulfonic acid at a process temperature of 20 to 25° C. The interior surface may be subsequently exposed to an asymmetrical diamine to form a sulfonic mid-linkage to the diamine, i.e., to form a sulfonamide-linked, amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The coating may be provided by subsequently exposing the interior surface to an aqueous suspension of ion exchanging nanoparticles to electrostatically bond the ion exchanging nanoparticles to the functionalized internal surface.
