Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-12 profoundly up-regulates the synthesis of antigen-specific complement-fixing IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3 antibody subclasses in vivo.
Tieno Germann,Martina Bongartz,Henryka Dlugonska,Henry Hess,Edgar Schmitt,Ludger Kolbe,Eckehart Kölsch,Frank John Podlaski,Maurice K. Gately,Erwin Rüde +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that IL‐12 is a potent adjuvant for enhancing humoral immunity to protein antigens adsorbed to Alum, primarily by inducing the synthesis of the complement‐fixing IgG subclasses 2a, 2b and 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-Controlled Molecular Shuttles Made from Motor Proteins Carrying Cargo on Engineered Surfaces
TL;DR: Alternative methods of controlling the direction of motion of microtubules on engineered kinesin tracks, how to load cargo covalently to microtubule, and how to exploit UV-induced release of caged ATP combined with enzymatic ATP degradation by hexokinase to turn the shuttles on and off sequentially are illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proximity does not contribute to activity enhancement in the glucose oxidase-horseradish peroxidase cascade.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the reason for the activity enhancement of enzymes localized by DNA scaffolds is that the pH near the surface of the negatively charged DNA nanostructures is lower than that in the bulk solution, creating a more optimal pH environment for the anchored enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Powering Nanodevices with Biomolecular Motors
TL;DR: This work discusses current approaches to utilize active transport and actuation on a molecular scale, and gives an outlook to the future of hybrid "bio/nano"-devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular shuttles based on motor proteins: active transport in synthetic environments
Henry Hess,Viola Vogel +1 more
TL;DR: The basic characteristics of motor proteins are discussed from an engineering point of view, and the experiments aimed at incorporating motor proteins, such as myosins and kinesins, into devices are reviewed.
