PEGylated Gold Nanoparticles Conjugated to Monoclonal F19 Antibodies as Targeted Labeling Agents for Human Pancreatic Carcinoma Tissue

Abstract

In this study, we describe optical detection of antibody-conjugated nanoparticles bound to surgically resected human pancreatic cancer tissue. Gold nanoparticles stabilized by heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared using ∼15 nm spherical gold cores and covalently coupled to F19 monoclonal antibodies. The heterobifunctional PEG ligands contain a dithiol group for stable anchoring onto the gold surface and a terminal carboxy group for coupling of antibodies to the outside of the PEG shell. The nanoparticle−antibody bioconjugates form highly stable dispersions and exhibit long-term resistance to agglomeration. This has been demonstrated by dynamic light scattering, size exclusion chromatography, and transmission electron microscopy. The nanoparticle bioconjugates were used to label tumor stroma in approximately 5 μm thick sections of resected human pancreatic adenocarcinoma. After rinsing away nonbound nanoparticles and fixation, the tissue samples were imaged by darkfield microscopy near the nanoparticle resonance scattering maximum (∼560 nm). The images display pronounced tissue features and suggest that this novel labeling method could provide for facile identification of cancer tissue. Tumor samples treated with gold nanoparticles conjugated to nonspecific control antibodies and noncancerous pancreatic tissue treated with mAb-F19-conjugated gold nanoparticles both exhibited correctly negative results and showed no tissue staining.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

A photo-responsive hydrogelator having gluconamides at its peripheral branches
A newly designed anthracene derivative having gluconamides at its peripheral branches formed a photo-responsive hydrogel. SEM observation of the xerogel showed a network structure consisting of fibrils. Upon photoirradiation ( >300 nm) of the hydrogel, regioselective photodimerization of the anthracene moiety occurred to give head-to-tail photodimers and the physical state changed from the gel to the sol.

Do the chemical elements, Mendeleev or the Periodic Table play any role in the world of
music? Here are a few preliminary notes for an answer to that question, maybe just the
tip of an iceberg. Some suggestions are offered on music that is worth listening to,
although some of the works commented on may require more of a good sense of
humour than musical sensibility from the reader.

Fig. 7. Photograph of the patterns printed on glass slides by inkjet printing technique. A 50% (V/V) acetic acid water solution in HP 21 cartridge was printed out by one pass on MP530B solution coated glass slide. Patterns immediately formed in 1 s after printing. (A) Separate letters printed on the stand glass slides; (B) contacted O-rings printed on the standard glass slides. All the patterns were computer designed by Microsoft Office software. The letters fixed on the right side of the standard glass slides were used as size control; (C) schematic diagram shows that MP530B in the solution was neutralized and became soluble with pH higher than 8.7, this reaction is revisable with solution pH value adjusted lower than 8.7. This reaction was utilized for the scaffold fabrication by inkjet printer.

Fig. 8. SEM images of the PU scaffold showing, (A) and (B) primary structures at different magnifications show the porous structure with pore size ranging from 10 μm to 30 μm. (C) Secondary structure shows the porous structure with uniform and inter-connective pores, the average size of pores is less than 1 μm. (A) Magnification 400×, (B) magnification 2500×, (C) magnification 20,000×.

Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis and Transformations using Benign Reaction Media

Vivek Polshettiwar and Rajender S. Varma

A nonclassical heating technique using microwaves, termed “Bunsen burner of the 21st century”, is rapidly becoming popular and is dramatically reducing reaction times. The significant outcomes of microwave (MW)-assisted green chemistry endeavors, which have resulted in the development of synthetic protocols for drugs and fine chemicals synthesis that are relatively more sustainable, are summarized. The use of emerging microwave-assisted chemistry techniques in conjunction with greener reaction media is dramatically reducing chemical waste and reaction times in several organic syntheses and chemical transformations. A brief historic account of our own experiences in developing MW-assisted organic transformations, which involve various benign alternatives, such as solid-supported reagents, and greener reaction media, namely, aqueous, ionic liquid, and solvent-free, for the synthesis of various heterocycles, coupling reactions, oxidation–reduction reactions, and some name reactions are described.
