Thus, fluorescent genes placed under the control of early neural promoters allow neural stem cells to be specifically targeted, isolated, and substantially enriched from the fetal human brain.

Specificity was evaluated using fluorescent microscopy and Western blot in CLDN1-overexpression and knockout cell lines. The antibody was then tested in vivo using CRC cell line xenograft, ...

Clinical information at baseline was extracted from patient medical records, including age, sex, antinuclear antibodies (ANA) titer and fluorescence pattern, and other laboratory abnormalities.

Because anti-SSA antibodies were the most frequently identified ANA, sensitively detected by line immunoassay, additional immunoassays were developed to confirm the specificity of the line immunoassay ...
