Characterization And Optimization Of A Chromatographic Process Based On Ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-Tetra(Methylphosphonic) Acid-Modified Zirconia Particles, Sabyasachi Sarkar, Peter W. Carr, Clayton V. Mcneff, Anuradha Subramanian Jun 2003

Characterization And Optimization Of A Chromatographic Process Based On Ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-Tetra(Methylphosphonic) Acid-Modified Zirconia Particles, Sabyasachi Sarkar, Peter W. Carr, Clayton V. Mcneff, Anuradha Subramanian

Papers in Biotechnology

The primary objective of work was to characterize, optimize and model a chromatographic process based on ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetra(methylphosphonic) acid (EDTPA)-modified zirconia particles. Zirconia particles were produced by spray-drying colloidal zirconia. Zirconia spheres produced were further classified, calcined and modified with EDTPA to yield a solid-phase support for use in bio-chromatography (r_PEZ). Specifically, the ability of r_PEZ to selectively bind and enrich IgG, IgA, and IgM from biological fluids was evaluated and demonstrated. To better understand the force of interaction between the IgG and the r_PEZ, the equilibrium disassociation constant (Kd) was determined by static binding isotherms, as a function of temperature …


Transgenic Non-Human Mammals Expressing Human Coagulation Factor Viii And Von Willebrand Factor, Henryk Lubon, William N. Drohan, William H. Velander Feb 2003

Transgenic Non-Human Mammals Expressing Human Coagulation Factor Viii And Von Willebrand Factor, Henryk Lubon, William N. Drohan, William H. Velander

Papers in Biotechnology

A non-human transgenic mammalian animal, as described above, contains an exogenous double stranded DNA sequence stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises cis-acting regulatory units operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding human Factor VIII protein and a signal peptide, where the cis-acting regulatory units are active in mammary gland cells and the signal peptide is active in directing newly expressed Factor VIII into the milk of the animal. The promoter may be a milk protein promoter such as for whey acidic protein, casein, lactalbumin, or beta-lactoglobulin promoter. The transgenic mammals are preferably farm animals, for example, …
