The present invention provides methods for isolating an active polypeptide or immunoconjugate by purification of a solution containing both the active polypeptide or immunoconjugate and an acidic variant thereof, such as a deamidated variant, using anion exchange chromatography. The present invention also provides compositions, formulations, and unit dosage forms comprising the purified polypeptide or immunoconjugate.

Disclosed herein are spherical high-density lipoprotein-like nanoparticles (HDL-NP) having a soft material core (e.g., a lipid-conjugated inorganic core). Also disclosed herein are methods for synthesizing the spherical HDL-NPs. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating disorders such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory disorders or reducing NF-kB activity with the spherical HDL-NPs.

The invention relates to hybrid supported lipid bilayer (HSLB) including a phospholipid; a copolymer; and a membrane protein, wherein the membrane protein is functional, properly oriented within the lipid bilayer, and mobile within the lipid bilayer.

A method for transfecting microorganisms comprises inoculating a growth media consisting of at least one of sterile LB media and tryptic soy broth with microorganism cells (cells) consisting of at least one of E.coli (DH5α), C. lytica, or B. subtilus, Pichia pastoris; growing the cells at between 28-40° C. to achieve a desired cell density; harvesting the cells; adding a protein ionic liquid consisting of at least one of green fluorescent protein (GFP), ferritin, rabbit IgG antibodies, and photosystem II from spinach ionic liquid to the cells; suspending the cells in the protein ionic liquid; freezing the suspended cells between −20 to −212° C.; and removing at least 99% of water from the frozen suspended cells to make a cell powder. The cell powder may be reconstituted in Tris HCl buffer and mixed to obtain uniform cell suspension; and centrifuged to obtain cell pellet.

Provided herein are methods for determining the T cell receptor affinity and sequence of antigen-specific T cells using a micropipette adhesion assay and single cell paired TCRα/TCRβ sequencing. Further provided are methods for the treatment of viral infections or cancers by adoptive transfer of high affinity functional T cells.

The present invention relates to a highly oriented collagen fibril bundle having a length in a major axis direction of 1 m or more.

The invention provides a carrier and a method for obtaining, removing, or detecting extracellular membrane vesicle or virus present in a sample. In particular, the invention provides (a) a carrier (a Tim carrier) on which a protein (a Tim protein), selected from a T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing molecule-4 (a Tim-4) protein, a Tim-3 protein, and a Tim-1 protein, is bound; (b) a method for obtaining the extracellular membrane vesicle or the virus in the sample; (c) a method for removing the extracellular membrane vesicle or the virus in the sample; (d) a method for detecting the extracellular membrane vesicle or the virus in the sample; (e) a kit for capturing the extracellular membrane vesicle or the virus, comprising the Tim carrier; and (f) a kit for capturing the extracellular membrane vesicle or the virus, comprising a reagent containing the Tim protein and a reagent containing the carrier.
