IMMUNOCHROMATOGRAPHY
An immunochromatography includes steps of mixing a specimen capable of containing an antigen and a modified particle, which is a particle modified with a substance having a specific affinity to the antigen, to obtain a mixture containing particle composite bodies; sedimenting the particle composite bodies in the mixture using a centrifuge; dissociating the sedimented particle composite bodies into the particles and the antigen by mixing the sedimented particle composite bodies with a dissociation solution, recovering an antigen-concentrated solution by sedimenting the dissociated particles using a centrifuge; neutralizing the antigen-concentrated solution using a neutralization solution; spreading particle composite bodies for labeling on an insoluble carrier having a reaction site, in a state where the particle composite bodies for labeling, which are composite bodies of the antigen in the neutralized antigen-concentrated solution and a modified particle for labeling, are formed; and capturing the particle composite bodies for labeling at the reaction site.
Methods for processing nucleic acid molecules
The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and kits for processing nucleic acid molecules. A method may comprise providing a template nucleic acid fragment (e.g., within a cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus) within a partition (e.g., a droplet or well) and subjecting the template nucleic acid fragment to one or more processes including a barcoding process and a single primer extension or amplification process. The processed template nucleic acid fragment may then be recovered from the partition and subjected to further amplification to provide material for subsequent sequencing analysis. The methods provided herein may permit simultaneous processing and analysis of both DNA and RNA molecules originating from the same cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus.

Conjugation reagents and methods using 1,2-cyclohexanediones
The present invention relates to methods to use cyclohexan-1,2-dione (CHD) groups to attach labels, linkers, and other molecules to a target compound comprising a CHD-reactive group such as a guanidine, amidine, urea, thiourea and the like. Methods of the invention include milder conditions than those previously known for promoting reaction of CHD with CHD-reactive groups, which makes the methods suitable for use with base-sensitive compounds and complex biomolecules. Methods of the invention are especially useful for attaching linking and labeling groups to a peptide that comprises at least one arginine residue, and can also be used to link such peptides to other target molecules such as nucleic acids. The invention also provides CHD-containing conjugation reagents and compositions comprising CHD-containing intermediates, and precursors useful for making CHD-containing compounds that can be used in the methods of the invention.
ANTIBODIES TO MISFOLDED AMYLOID BETA
The disclosure pertains to antibodies that bind A-beta oligomers and methods of using said antibodies. Also provided are chimeric or humanized antibodies, including antibodies having specific CDRs identified herein, or a sequence with at least 80% sequence identity to specific VH sequences identified herein, optionally wherein the CDR H3 amino acid sequence is as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 31-36, 38-40, or 42-50. Also provided are methods and uses thereof as well as kits comprising said antibodies.
Use of radiolabeled nanobody in prognosis and diagnosis of cancer
Disclosed is the use of a radiolabeled anti-nanobody in the prognosis and diagnosis of cancers. In particular, disclosed is an immunoconjugate for detecting a PD-L1 molecule. The immunoconjugate comprises the VHH chain of a specific anti-PD-L1 nanobody and a radionuclide, and can be used for non-invasive detecting of expression of the object PD-L1 to be detected. The immunoconjugate of the invention has small size and high specificity, and is suitable for systemic detection which simultaneously targets primary and metastatic tumors, and has high accuracy and low radiation dose.
Methods and systems for characterizing analytes from individual cells or cell populations
The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.
