Creative Biolabs Released Comprehensive Phage Display Service For Research Projects

In order to further support researchers, Creative Biolabs developed comprehensive phage display services.

Creative Biolabs Released Comprehensive Phage Display Service For Research Projects

Shirley, United States – July 22, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

Phage display is one of the most widely used laboratory technique for the study of protein-protein, protein-peptide and protein-DNA interactions. This technology is mainly based on the use of filamentous phage which is a kind of virus lives on Escherichia coli and has been proven as a powerful method to interrogate libraries containing millions or even billions of different peptides or proteins.

Creative Biolabs is a phage display service company focused on applying phage display technology to generate various phage display peptide, protein, antibody libraries for drug development and antibody discovery purposes. Its services include the construction and screening of custom phage display libraries. In addition, Creative Biolabs is also well-recognized as a leading provider for a series of phage display based services, such as specific antibody discovery, humanization, caninization, affinity maturation, etc.

The isolation of specific antibodies is one of the most successful applications in phage display technology. As the first protein which is successfully displayed on the surface of phage, antibody phage display will be achieved by fusing the coding sequence of scFv or Fab to the coat protein. Owing to its smaller size, scFv libraries are genetically more stable than Fab libraries, while Fab libraries lack the tendency to form higher molecular weight species, such as dimers and trimers, which can simplify the selection and characterization. By binding the specific target, the interest antibody can then be eluted and retrieved. In this way, Creative Biolabs is able to obtain various kinds of novel antibodies, such as specific monkey (NHP) and canine (dog) monoclonal antibodies and anti-idiotype antibodies.

Creative Biolabs has long-term devoted to the development and application of phage display technology. With years of experience, its scientists have developed several phage display based platforms and tailored hundreds of particular libraries and thousands of specific antibody products to boost global customers’ research and project goals.

About Creative Biolabs

Creative Biolabs is specialized in providing custom biotechnology and pharmaceutical services that cover the full scope of biotechnology needs of early antibody drug discovery and development. As a trusted provider of the most cost-effective outsourcing solutions, Creative Biolabs has been working for a large number of satisfied clients from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies as well as government and academic research laboratories all over the world.

Creative Diagnostics Launches Streptavidin Magnetic Particles For Researchers’ Biomagnetic Separation Needs

Shirley, USA – July 22, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

Creative Diagnostics, a global leader in the supply of life science research products and services, now introduces the Streptavidin Magnetic Particles for research community. The newly released streptavidin magnetic particles, 50 nm (#WHM-X047), can offer easy affinity isolation, handling of biotinylated nucleic acids, antibodies, or other biotinylated ligands and targets without columns or centrifugation.

These new streptavidin magnetic particles are uniform and superparamagnetic beads with a monolayer of recombinant streptavidin covalently coupled to the surface, nearly twice higher binding capacity than typical particles supplied by other suppliers (>4,000 pmol free biotin per mg beads for sizes 50 nm to 200 nm).

“Unlike many suppliers that block the surface of magnetic particles with BSA or other bio-compatible polymers after the coating of streptavidin, we Creative Diagnostics’s streptavidin magnetic particles are pre-blocked with biocompatible polymers with significantly low non-specific binding,” said Dr. Jessica Waldorf, chief scientific officer of R&D department of Creative Diagnostics. “and they’re quality-tested and approved for isolation of biotinylated nucleic acids, proteins and antibodies. We believe it can bring researchers more convenience.”

Veteran Trial Lawyer Joseph Osborne Named A 2016 Florida Super Lawyer

Veteran Trial Lawyer Joseph Osborne Named A 2016 Florida Super Lawyer

Boca Raton, FL, USA, 07/21/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Osborne & Associates Law Firm is pleased to announce that Joseph Osborne has been selected as a 2016 Florida Super Lawyer in the Class Action/Mass Tort Category. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Osborne – a veteran trial lawyer who has been a steadfast advocate in seeking justice for victims of dangerous and defective products – has achieved this honor.

With more than 25 years of experience in complex civil litigation, Osborne has been a leading champion for those who have suffered injuries – often devastating ones – due to medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and other products that didn’t work as they should have, or how their manufacturers said they would work.  He has obtained multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements in complicated, highly technical cases, including a $26.7 million verdict on behalf of four women injured due to defective vaginal mesh implants. A nationally recognized expert and speaker on medical device and pharmaceutical litigation, Osborne currently serves on the plaintiff steering committee for a number of such cases.

“I’m honored to be named a Super Lawyer as it is a recognition of the important work our firm does on behalf of those who put their trust – and often their lives – in the hands of products that needlessly, and in many cases grievously, harm them,” says Osborne. “Every time we take a case to trial, we are not only seeking justice but also sending a message to manufacturers: take responsibility. Take responsibility for the harm that never had to happen, and take responsibility for finding and addressing dangers that never have to be.”

Within the legal community, a Super Lawyer designation is particularly valued as it is based not only on professional achievements but on peer recognition. Indeed, potential Super Lawyers are nominated by their colleagues before being independently evaluated by Super Lawyers’ own Blue Ribbon Panel of highly credentialed attorneys. Only five percent of practicing lawyers ultimately receive the rating.

“Litigation is a team effort and successful litigation takes a great team,” says Osborne. “This honor – and the work it represents – reflects on our entire firm. Each time we stand up in court we’re standing up for victims who deserve justice. They deserve our best effort – and that’s something we aim for every day.”

How Zika Will Affect The 2016 Rio Olympics

How Zika Will Affect The 2016 Rio Olympics

Dallas, 07/21/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Legacy ER & Urgent Care Explains Both Impact and Dangers

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, just around the corner, athletes are preparing to compete in the world’s most elite competition of skill. But along with worldwide excitement and anticipation comes a new fear, explicitly due to the outbreak and known dangers of the Zika virus – a mosquito-borne disease that runs rampant in areas of Central America, South America, and Africa.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Brazil, in particular, has had an ongoing outbreak of the Zika virus since May 2015. For the general public wanting to know more, Legacy ER & Urgent Care addresses the health concerns involved with traveling to Brazil for the Olympic Games and the steps individuals should take if they suspect they’ve contracted the Zika virus. According to the CDC, individuals can contract the Zika virus from the bite of an infected mosquito, through sexual relations (man to woman and new reports on woman to man), a blood transfusion and, in a few rare cases, laboratory exposure.

Those infected with the Zika virus may show no outward symptoms or will experience relatively mild side effects such as a rash, red eyes or a slight fever. However, pregnant women who contract Zika can pass it along to their unborn fetus. Zika is a known cause of microcephaly in babies – a condition that can cause an abnormally small cranium in newborn infants. This condition can further result in delayed brain development, intellectual disabilities and problems with speech, hearing, and vision. In extreme cases, it can even be fatal.

Several Olympic athletes have even pulled out of the competition for fear of contracting Zika, the most prominent example being U.S. golfer Jordan Spieth. Citing the overall health concern, Spieth stated that the decision “…was probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my life.”

“For those planning to attend the Olympic Games in Brazil, we recommend they be on high alert for any possible transmission or symptoms of the Zika virus,” said Dr. Jay Woody, founder and chief medical officer of Legacy ER & Urgent Care. “It’s necessary for all visitors to take precautionary steps to prevent contracting the virus and immediately follow up with a visit to a doctor should they believe they’ve contracted Zika.”

Those visiting can take the following preventative measures:

·       Wear long sleeves and pants

·       Avoid being outdoors near mosquito-infested areas such as bodies of water

·       Sleep in covered or protected areas where mosquitoes cannot enter

·       Use insect repellant spray on exposed skin to ward off mosquitoes

·       Use insect repellent that contains DEET
