Abstract: An optical sensor, in particular for a scanning force microscope, measures the deflection of a cantilever ( 3 ) using an optical resonator between the cantilever ( 3 ) and an output surface ( 12 b) of a lens assembly ( 10 ). In order to form the resonator, output surface ( 12 b) is concave and parallel to the wavefronts of the light within the resonator. This design provides a resonator of high stability and allows to keep the distance between lens assembly ( 10 ) and cantilever ( 3 ) comparatively large.

Abstract: The HIV-1 protein Vif comprises a multimerization domain that allows Vif-Vif interaction and Vif multimerization, which is important for Vif function in the HIV-1 life-cycle. A method for screening for an antagonist of Vif comprises contacting the multimerization domain of Vif with a test compound that specifically binds the multimerization domain. Antagonists identified by the screening assay inhibit Vif multimerization. The antagonists inhibit essential functions of Vif and accordingly are useful as inhibitors of HIV-1 replication.

Granted: 2009-07-08
Abstract: The present invention provides labeling reagents and methods for labeling primary antibodies and for detecting a target in a sample using an immuno-labeled complex that comprises a target-binding antibody and one or more labeling reagents. The labeling reagents comprise monovalent antibody fragments or non-antibody monomeric proteins whereby the labeling proteins have affinity for a specific region of the target-binding antibody and are covalently attached to a label. Typically, the labeling reagent is an anti-Fc Fab or Fab' fragment that was generated by immunizing a goat or rabbit with the Fc fragment of an antibody. The present invention provides for discrete subsets of labeling reagent and immuno-labeled complexes that facilitate the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a sample wherein the immuno-labeled complexes are distinguished by i) a ratio of label to labeling reagent, or ii) a physical property of said label, or iii) a ratio of labeling reagent to said target-binding antibody, or iv) by said target-binding antibody. This is particularly useful for fluorophore labels that can be attached to labeling reagents and subsequently immuno-labeled complexes in ratios for the detection of multiple targets.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire (100) has a crown-reinforcing (C-R) insert (160) which extends from under the tread (120) substantially, such as at least one-third (33%) of the sidewall height (H), into the sidewall (116) of the tire (100). Apexes (150) extend from the beads (122) substantially, such as at least one-third of the sidewall height (H), into the sidewall of the tire (100), thereby effecting a substantial, such as at least one third of the sidewall height (H), "overlap" between end portions of the crown-reinforcing (C-R) insert (160) and the apexes (150). Additionally, at least one belt (132) extends from under the tread (120) substantially into the sidewall (116), and the turn-ups of at least some of the plies (140) extend quite high, such as at least one third of the sidewall height, into the sidewall (116). This combination of features yields superior runflat performance. <IMAGE>
