Engineering of a two-step purification strategy for a panel of monoclonal immunoglobulin M directed against undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells

A two-step purification strategy comprising of polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and anion-exchange chromatography was developed for a panel of monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) (pI 5.5–7.7) produced from hybridoma cultures. PEG precipitation was optimized with regards to concentration, pH and mixing. For anion-exchange chromatography, different resins were screened of which Fractogel EMD, a polymer grafted porous resin had the highest capacity. Despite its significantly slower mass transfer, the binding capacity was still higher compared to a convection driven resin (monolith). This purification strategy was successfully demonstrated for all 9 IgMs in the panel. In small scale most antibodies could be purified to >95% purity with the exception of two which gave a lower final purity (46% and 85%). The yield was dependent on the different antibodies ranging from 28% to 84%. Further improvement of recovery and purity was obtained by the digestion of DNA present in the hybridoma supernatant using an endonuclease, benzonase. So far this strategy has been applied for the purification of up to 2 l hybridoma supernatants.

A 15-year record of seasonal variation in the isotopic composition of precipitation water over continental Portugal

The Nuclear and Technological Institute (Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear—ITN) in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been conducting a nationwide survey of hydrogen (²H/¹H) and oxygen (¹⁸O/¹⁶O) isotopic composition of monthly precipitation since 1988. This paper focuses on basic features of spatial and temporal distribution of δ¹⁸O and δ²H in the precipitation over Continental Portugal derived from ITN database. Phenomenological relationships between stable isotopes composition of precipitation and various climate-related parameters (local air temperature, distance to the Atlantic coast, altitude, amount of precipitation) are established and discussed.     

An effective route for the synthesis of cationic palladium complexes of general formula [(Acac)PdLL]A

A series of palladium complexes of general formula [(Acac)PdL¹L²]⁺A⁻, where L¹, L² = phosphines and A = BF₄, CF₃SO₃, were synthesized. Preliminary studies show that the complexes are active in selective dimerization of styrene and addition polymerization of norbornene.     

Nitroxide-mediated precipitation polymerization of styrene in supercritical carbon dioxide: Effects of monomer loading and nitroxide partitioning on control

Nitroxide-mediated solution and precipitation polymerizations of styrene in toluene and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂), respectively, using the nitroxides N-tert-butyl-N-[1-diethylphosphono-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)]nitroxide (SG1) and 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3-nitroxide (TIPNO) are presented. Solution polymerizations are compared with simulations using PREDICI software, revealing that differences in the polymerization behaviours between the SG1- and TIPNO-mediated systems cannot be rationalized based on literature rate coefficients and the ideal mechanism for nitroxide-mediated polymerization. Nitroxide and monomer partitioning between the polymer particles and the continuous phase play important roles in the precipitation polymerizations in scCO₂. Loss of control (broader molecular weight distributions) as a result of nitroxide partitioning is accentuated at low monomer loading, and is significantly more pronounced for TIPNO than SG1. However, at higher monomer loading the level of control was superior in scCO₂ compared to in the corresponding solution polymerizations for both nitroxides, most likely caused by an increase in the number of activation-deactivation cycles experienced by any given chain during its growth.     

本体聚合反应过程中聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯增长自由基的ESR研究

采用TM₁₁₀谐振腔和φ2mm样品管,在17℃室温条件下成功地记录了MMA本体聚合反应过程中增长自由基的ESR谱。当把DMA加入到MMA和BPO中后,立即抽取0.17ml混合液到φ2mm样品管并记谱。以后每隔2分钟记谱一次,波谱从13(5+8)条线逐渐变成9(5+4)条线。我们用阻碍振荡模型和构象重叠模型作了模拟。从全部谱图看,前者似更合理些。ESR实验表明:在聚合过程前期,自由基浓度基本保持不变,但从聚合中期的某一时刻开始,浓度剧增,它正好同步地与本体聚合反应的自加速效应相对应,而且其变化规律和单体转化率相平行。最后,我们用微波功率饱和方法观测到9线谱的协同自旋跳跃所产生的卫线,证明了主导的电子自旋晶格弛豫机理来自电子一核自旋间的偶极偶合角调制。

Synthesis and Characterization of Uniform Fine Particles of Iron(III) Hydroxide/Oxide

Iron(III) hydroxide was precipitated from the homogeneous solutions, containing variuos amounts of iron(III) nitrate, potassium sulfate, and urea, by heating at 85 °C for different periods of time (5‐30 min). The precipitated solids were either in the form of gel or dispersed particles of different shapes and sizes, depending upon the composition of the reactant mixtures. The as‐prepared solids were amorphous in nature and were formulated as Fe(OH)₃.H₂O. On calcinations at 800 °C for 1 h, the latter converted into crystalline compound, composed of α‐Fe₂O₃ (hematite). The calcined particles retained the original features of their precursors to a maximum extent.     

Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic application of a zinc(II) complex bearing a pyrazole-based ligand

The reaction between ZnCl₂ and N,N-bis[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-1-phenylethylamine (bdmppea) affords [(bdmppea)ZnCl₂], whose structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The [(bdmppea)ZnEt₂] complex in situ prepared by the reaction between [bdmppea] and ZnEt₂ exhibited high activity toward the polymerization reaction of rac-lactide at room temperature. However, its activity decreased sharply with decreasing temperature. Stereospecificity of this catalyst characterized by heterotacticity (P_r) was determined by homonuclear decoupled NMR spectroscopy, which value was ∼0.58.
