3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolinone

Inventor: Samie Jaffrey
Department: Pharmacology

3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolinone (DFHBI) is a small molecule fluorophore. Upon binding to its aptamer, this molecule exhibits the spectral properties of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP).

Anti-pro-BDNF Antibody

Inventor: Barbara Hempstead
Department: Hematology & Medical Oncology

Pro-BDNF is the uncleaved precursor form of BDNF. The anti-pro-BDNF antibody was generated by using GST-fusion protein with a peptide of BDNF as the immunogen in chickens. The antibody detects pro-BDNF, but not mature BDNF.

Anti-pro-NGF Antibody

Inventor: Barbara Hempstead
Department: Hematology & Medical Oncology

Pro-NGF is the uncleaved precursor form of NGF. The anti-pro-NGF antibody was generated by using GST-fusion protein with a peptide of NGF as the immunogen in rabbits. Unlike other antibodies generated to the mature domain of NGF, this antibody detects pro-NGF, but not mature NGF.

Antibody to mouse CD36

Inventor: Maria Febbraio, Roy Silverstein
Department: Medicine

CD36 is a cell surface class B scavenger receptor. CD36 is preferentially found within lipid rafts, which facilitates its association with receptors, signaling and adapter molecules. CD36 binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It may function as a cell adhesion molecule.

Champion™ pET SUMO Expression System

Inventor: Christopher Lima
Department: Medical Sciences

The Champion™ pET SUMO Protein Expression System offers a new and important tool for high-level soluble expression of proteins and peptides with native n-termini. The companion SUMO Protease enzyme works with the great specificity and efficiency on most substrates in a wide range of temperatures without undue damage to the protein of interest.

Digycyl-Lysine Antibody, clone GX41

Inventor: Samie Jaffrey
Department: Pharmacology

This is a monoclonal antibody which recognizes a diglycine modified lysine, the trypsinized remnant of ubiquitination. The recognition does not depend on neighboring backbone amino acid sequences. It has been shown to specifically detect peptides derived from the ubiquitinated portion of proteins.

Immortalized Mouse Cardiac Endothelial Cell (MCEC) Line

Inventor: Babette Weksler
Department: Medicine

Immortalized Mouse Cardiac Endothelial Cell (MCEC) Line provides an excellent in vitro model for evaluation of the effects of specific genetic additions or deletions on endothelial physiology, because these cells can be easily and stably transfected with different genes or interest.

JK1 Passage-Independent Feeder Cells

Inventor: Marco Seandel, Shahin Rafii
Department: Cell & Developmental Biology

JK1 is capable of promoting long term culture of primitive cells, allowing for the identification of stromal derived factors that support long term proliferation of various types of stem cells. This line can be passaged serially without losing its capacity to support stem cell self renewal and survival, making it a convenient alternative to other types of feeder layers.

PARP-1 Terminal Antibody

Inventor: William Kraus
Department: Molecular Biology and Genetics

Polyclonal antibodies against the N-terminal of PARP-1, Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1, a chromatin-associated enzyme that modifies various nuclear proteins. The modification is dependent on DNA and is involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes. This PARP-1 terminal antibody has been validated for use in Western blotting, chromatin IP, and reported to work in immunohistochemistry and immunoprecipitation.

Ras Activation Assay

Inventor: David Shalloway
Department: Molecular Biology and Genetics

The Ras switch operates by alternating between an active, GTP-bound state and an inactive, GDP-bound state. The assay provides a simple means of quantitating Ras activation in cells. The amount of activated Ras is determined by a western blot using a Ras specific antibody. The assay can be used in research or drug discovery, and also may have applications in detecting cancer.
