New Insect Sf9-ET Cell Line for Determining Baculovirus Titers

Abstract: The baculovirus-based protein expression system has gained increased prominence as a method for expressing recombinant proteins that are used in a wide range of biomedical applications. An important step in the use of this system is the ability to determine the virus infectious titer, i.e., the number of active baculovirus particles produced...

A peptide hydrogel for use in vascular anastomosis

Abstract: In collaboration with surgery specialists from Johns Hopkins University, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed novel hydrogel compositions and methods of using them in the microsurgical suturing of blood vessels, which is particularly beneficial for surgeons in whole tissue transplant procedures. The lead candidate electropositive...

Clinical Imaging with Acoustic Wave or Photoacoustic Tomosynthesis

Abstract: Ultrasound-based cancer screening and biopsy imaging technologies are a clinical need. Ultrasound based biopsy imaging can provide a real-time modality for lower cost that is comparable to, or complimentary to MRI imaging. This technology may enable more accurate, less costly and more accessible cancer screening. Researcers at the NIH Clinical...

Conformational Restriction of Cyanine Fluorophores in Far-Red and Near-IR Range

Abstract: Small molecule fluorescent probes are important tools in diagnostic medicine. Existing far-red and near-IR cyanine fluorophores (e.g. Cy5, Alexa 647, Cy7, ICG) are active in the far-red and near-range, but these agents suffer from modest quantum yields (brightness) which limit wide utility. It has been reported that the limited brightness...

Bac-2-the-Future: An Improved System for Production of Recombinant Baculovirus

Abstract: Baculoviruses have been used for decades to produce proteins in insect cell hosts. Current systems for generating recombinant baculovirus have several shortcomings which prevent their easy use in high-throughput applications. Researchers within the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research have developed an improved system called...

Tumor Samples Harboring Novel Stem Cell Factor FOXD3 Variants

Abstract: GISTs are one of the most common sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract with an estimated 5,000-10,000 new cases in the U.S. reported each year. GISTs affect mainly pediatric and young adult patients, and respond poorly to current therapies. Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms that develop primarily in the abdomen. Researchers...

Novel Dopamine Receptor Ligands As Therapeutics For Central Nervous System Disorders

Abstract: The National Institute on Drug Abuse's Medications Discovery Research Branch is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize 4-phenylpiperazine derivatives as dopamine D3 selective ligands. The dopamine D3 receptor subtype is a member of the dopamine...
