A composition for treating a disease or condition responsive to human growth hormone receptor antagonists, comprising a modified human growth hormone receptor antagonist; and an anti-cancer composition. A method for treating cancer using human growth hormone antagonists, comprising pre-screening a patient by analyzing a tumor biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer and the presence of certain predetermined factors indicative of responsiveness to human growth hormone antagonists; and treating the patient with an effective amount of a composition that includes a modified human growth hormone receptor antagonist and an anti-cancer composition.

Growth hormone antagonist and anti-cancer composition combination therapy

Growth hormone receptor antagonists, comprising human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K, wherein one amino acid of human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K has been mutated to cysteine or wherein two amino acids of human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K have been mutated to cysteine, and wherein the one amino acid mutated to cysteine is T142, and wherein the two amino acids mutated to cysteine are T142 and H151; and a polyethylene glycol molecule conjugated to each substituted cysteine in the human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K mutant. These growth hormone receptor antagonists are useful in treating diseases or conditions, such as cancer and acromegaly, that are responsive to human growth hormone receptor antagonists.

Therapeutic pegylated growth hormone antagonists

A composition that is a human growth hormone receptor antagonist comprising human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K, wherein one or two amino acids of human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K have been mutated to cysteine; and a polyethylene glycol molecule conjugated to each substituted cysteine in the human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K mutant.

Pegylated growth hormone antagonists

A biosensor system for the detection of target analytes that includes a living biological cell of a predetermined type; a signal-generating reporter associated with the living biological cell; a signal transduction pathway or other activator mechanism or means associated with the signal-generating reporter; a universal detector element associated with the activator mechanism; and an analyte binding element associated with the universal detector element, wherein the analyte binding element is specific to both the universal detector element and a target analyte.

Universal biosensor system for analyte detection

A system for use in rapid sample analysis that includes a biosensor reagent, wherein the biosensor reagent includes living biological cells; a reservoir card, wherein the reservoir card stores the biosensor reagent; and a test cartridge base, wherein the test cartridge base is configured to accept the reservoir card, and wherein the test cartridge base further includes a contoured reaction chamber; and an inlet channel connected to and entering the reaction chamber at a predetermined angle thereto.

Reaction chambers for use in systems for rapid analysis of biological samples

A system for use in rapid sample analysis that includes a biosensor reagent, wherein the biosensor reagent includes living biological cells; a reservoir card, wherein the reservoir card stores the biosensor reagent; and a test cartridge base, wherein the test cartridge base is configured to accept the reservoir card, and wherein the test cartridge base further includes a reaction chamber having a central axis, wherein the reaction chamber has the shape of a revolved half ellipse; and an inlet channel connected to the reaction chamber, wherein the inlet channel is positioned above the reaction chamber at an angle of 15-60 degrees above the horizontal, and wherein the inlet channel is offset from the central axis of the reaction chamber.

Prevention of cross-contamination in systems for rapid analysis of biological samples

System for rapid analysis of biological samples

A test cartridge for use in sample analysis is provided. The test cartridge includes a reservoir card that further includes a reagent that includes living biological cells; and a test cartridge base configured to accept the reservoir card. The reservoir card is configured to interface with a test cartridge base through at least one fluid port. The test cartridge base includes an elliptical reaction chamber having a central axis and an inlet channel connected to the reaction chamber. The inlet channel is positioned above the reaction chamber at an angle of 15-60 degrees above the horizontal and is offset from the central axis of the reaction chamber. Upon introducing a sample to be analyzed into the test cartridge base through the inlet channel, the sample is homogeneously mixed with the reagent while minimizing damage to the living biological cells.

Test cartridge for use in rapid analysis of biological samples

A portable system for real time detection of the presence of an infectious agent in a biological sample employs a reagent which detects the presence of a specific infectious agent in the sample, and emits a detectable signal when the reagent reacts with the sample and detects the presence of the infectious agent. A test cartridge has a reaction chamber for receiving the sample and the reagent. The reaction chamber has a predetermined internal geometry and at least one inner surface. Introducing the sample and the reagent into the test cartridge mixes the sample and the reagent. A testing unit receives the test cartridge, and includes a sensor for detecting an emitted detectable signal. The detection of the emitted detectable signal is indicative of the presence of the infectious agent in the sample.

Device for rapid detection of infectious agents

This document provides methods and materials for providing teeth with a white appearance. For example, methods and materials for contacting teeth with one or more fluorescence emitting polypeptides (e.g., a blue fluorescent protein (BFP)) to provide the teeth with a whiter appearance are provided.
