Abstract:
A method for direct radioimmunoassay of antigens or their associated antibodies utilizing a coated test well comprising adding a serum to be tested for an antigen to test apparatus coated with its antibody; incubating the tubes for from 0.5 to 42 hours; aspirating the contents and washing the same with a TrisHCl and sodium azide mixture; adding purified I-125 labeled antibody into the tube and incubating for from 1 to 24 hours; aspirating and washing the contents; and counting the tube for I125 radiation. A similar assay for the antibody may be conducted utilizing an antigen coated tube and I-125 labeled antigen. The method for coating these tubes comprises adding the antigen or antibody solution in a Tris-HCl, sodium azide solution into a suitable test tube or well, incubating the tubes at room temperature from 6 to 72 hours, aspirating and washing the contents and storing at from between 2 and 25*C. until use.
Abstract:
1-Methyl-4,5-di(p-methoxyphenyl)-6H-pyrrolo (2,3-c)pyrazole, which is useful as an anti-inflammatory agent, as well as methods for preparing the compound.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for making pure human plasminogen suitable for the preparation of the plasminogen-streptokinase complex. The method of the present invention allows the removal of impurities from plasminogen prior to complexing the latter with streptokinase, resulting in a plasminogen-streptokinase complex with much higher plasminogen activating activity.
Abstract:
1-(5-Phenyl-4-oxo-2-oxazolin-2-yl)-4-cinnamoylpiperazines represented by the formula WHEREIN R is hydrogen or loweralkyl; R'' is hydrogen or loweralkyl; and X, Y and Z each are hydrogen, halogen or loweralkyl. The compounds exhibit anti-depressant activity.
Abstract:
1. AN APPARATUS FOR PROPAGATING TISSUE CULTURE CELLS COMPRISING A VESSEL ADAPTED FOR HOLDING LIQUID CULTURE MEDIUM, SAID VESSEL HAVING A PAIR OF OPPOSITE VERTICAL WALLS OF OPPOSITE ENDS OF A FIRST HORIZONTAL DIMENSION THEREOF AND A PLURALITY OF VERTICAL WALLS TRANSVERSE TO SAID OPPOSITE VERTICAL WALLS, AND VESSEL HAVING DISPOSED THEREIN A PLURALITY OF STACKED, SPACED-APART PLATES FORMED BY A CONTINUOUS STRIP OF UNDULATED MATERIAL AND ADAPTED TO PROVIDE SURFACES TO WHICH CELL GROWTH CAN ATTACH, SAID PLATES EACH SPACED FROM SAID PAIR OF OPPOSITE VERTICAL WALLS OF SAID VESSEL TO THEREBY FORM FIRST AND SECOND VERTICAL CHANNELS WITHIN SAID VESSEL AT SAID OPPOSITE ENDS OF SAID FIRST HORIZONTAL DIMENSION THEREOF, AN INLET CONDUIT INTO SAID VESSEL OPENING DIRECTLY INTO SAID FIRST VERTICAL CHANNEL; AND AN OUTLET CONDUIT FROM SAID VESSEL EXITING DIRECTLY FORM SAID SECOND VERTICAL CHANNEL.
Abstract:
A new catalyst for the acceleration of urethane polymerization consisting of a mixture of N,N-dimethyl-cyclohexyl-amine and Nmethyl-dicyclohexylamine has been found. The new mixture has unique characteristics that are not expected from its components taken alone.
Abstract:
THE NEW BLOCKED TETRAPEPTIDE Y-LEU-(N$:R'') ARG-PROGLY-R WHEREIN R IS HYDROXY, METHOXY OR AMINO, R'' IS A SUITABLE BLOCKING GROUP AND Y IS HYDROGEN OR AN EASILY REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE GROUP HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE A VALUABLE INTTERMEDIATE FOR THE PREPARATION OF LARGE PEPTIDE CHAINS, SUCH AS FOR ISTANCE, THE DECAPEPTIDE GN-RH.
Abstract:
THE SYNTHESIS OF THE OCTAPEPTIDE TRP-SER-TYR-GLY-LEUARG-PRO-GLY-AMIDE CARRYING EASILY REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE GROUPS ON THE SER, TYR, ARG AND TRP MOIETIES IS DESCRIBED. THE NEW SYNTHESIS USES AS THE STARTING MATERIAL TWO TETRAPEPTIDE FRAGMENTS CARRYING EASILY REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE GROUPS. ONE OF THESE FRAGMENTS, TRP-SER-TYR-GLY-OH WITH SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GROUPS, ALSO IS A PART OF THE PRESENT INVENTION. AFTER COUPLING OF THE TWO FRAGMENTS, THE PROTECTIVE GROUP ON THE AMINO-N OF THE TRYPTOPHANE MOIETY IS REMOVED TO OBTAIN AN OCTAPEPTIDE CARRYING EASILY REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE GROUPS WHICH CAN BE RETAINED VHILE BULIDING UP THE MOLECULE TO THE DECAPEPTIDE CHAIN WHICH IS THE GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE, AFTER REMOVAL OF THESE PROTECTIVE GROUPS.
