Abstract: An articulated arm can include a plurality of articulated arm members, a probe, a receiving portion at a distal end comprising a threaded portion, and a base at a proximal end. A base plate can kinematically mount on the receiving portion and have a hole positioned such that the probe passes through the hole. The base plate can also couple to a laser and an optical sensor located on opposite sides of the hole. A nut can threadably mount to the threaded portion of the receiving portion. Further, a wave spring can mount on the receiving portion between the nut and the base plate. Thus, movement of the nut along the receiving portion can cause the wave spring to urge the base plate against the articulated arm to secure the kinematic mount. The wave spring can then mechanically isolate the base plate from the articulated arm.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés permettant d'obtenir des informations statistiquement significatives concernant la relation entre des éléments de structure de protéines, par exemple la position et l'identité de résidus d'acides aminés dans des domaines de liaison, et les propriétés fonctionnelles d'intérêt, telles que l'affinité et la spécificité de liaison et similaire. Dans certains modes de réalisation, de telles informations sont collectées par réaction dans des conditions de liaison d'une bibliothèque focalisée de composés de liaison candidats codés par un acide nucléique avec un ligand, afin que des complexes se forment entre le ligand et une partie des composés de liaison candidats (« liants »). Les échantillons de liants et de non-liants sont ensuite décodés par séquençage d'acide nucléique à haut débit pour fournir des données statistiquement significatives concernant les propriétés de liaison de pratiquement tous les composés de liaison candidats, ce qui permet de les classer en fonction de leurs affinités ou constantes de dissociation respectives. Un composé de référence, tel qu'un anticorps préexistant, peut être compris dans la réaction pour identifier des candidats présentant des caractéristiques de liaison similaires ou améliorées qui ont des caractéristiques supplémentaires souhaitables, telles qu'une solubilité plus élevée, une immunogénicité réduite, une stabilité plus élevée ou similaire.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening for agents useful in treating or prophylaxis of synucleinopathic disease, methods of diagnosis or prognosis of the same and methods of treatment and prophylaxis. The invention is based in part on the result that cells with phagocytic activity from subjects with synucleinopathic disease have increased levels of alpha synuclein and reduced phagocytic activity and that these processes can be reversed (i.e., synuclein levels decreased and phagocytic levels increased) by treatment with IL-4 among other agents. The increase in phagocytic activity is readily amenable to detection and provides a basis for a screening assay in which an agent is contacted with phagocytic cells and the effect of the agent on phagocytic activity is detected, which is an indicator that the agent has the ability to reduce alpha synuclein levels. The reduced levels of phagocytic activity, optionally in combination with increased intracellular levels of alpha synuclein also provides a basis for diagnostic, prognostic or monitoring assays indicating presence, susceptibility, severity or response to treatment of synucleinopathic disease.
