We describe a novel microfluidic perfusion system for high-resolution microscopes. Its modular design allows pre-coating of
the coverslip surface with reagents, biomolecules, or cells. A poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) layer is cast in a special molding
station, using masters made by photolithography and dry etching of silicon or by photoresist patterning on glass or silicon.
This channel system can be reused while the coverslip is exchanged between experiments. As normal fluidic connectors are used,
the link to external, computer-programmable syringe pumps is standardized and various fluidic channel networks can be used
in the same setup. The system can house hydrogel microvalves and microelectrodes close to the imaging area to control the
influx of reaction partners. We present a range of applications, including single-molecule analysis by fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy (FCS), manipulation of single molecules for nanostructuring by hydrodynamic flow fields or the action of motor
proteins, generation of concentration gradients, trapping and stretching of live cells using optical fibers precisely mounted
in the PDMS layer, and the integration of microelectrodes for actuation and sensing. 相似文献

At the Keck Smart Materials Integration Laboratory at Penn State University, low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) material systems have been used to fabricate a number of devices for a variety of applications. This article presents an overview of the integration of the concepts and materials that we have used to achieve miniaturization and unique device function. Examples of microwave filters, metamaterial antennas, and a dielectrophoretic cell sorter will be presented, with emphasis on device modeling and design, prototype construction methods, and test results. 相似文献

Formulation of therapeutic proteins into particulate forms is a main strategy for site‐specific and prolonged protein delivery as well as for protection against degradation. Precise control over protein particle size, dispersity, purity, as well as mild preparation conditions and minimal processing steps are highly desirable. It is, however, hard to fit all these criteria with conventional preparation techniques. Here a one‐step hard‐templating synthesis of microparticles composed of functional, non‐denatured protein is reported. The method is based on filling porous CaCO3 microtemplates with the protein near to its isoelectric point (pI) followed by pH‐ or EDTA‐mediated dissolution of the tempplates. In principle, a wide variety of proteins can be converted into microparticles using this approach. The main requirement is an overlap of the protein insolubility and a template solubility for a certain parameter (here pH or EDTA). Here the formulation of insulin particles is studied in detail and it is shown that particles consisting of high molecular weight protein (catalase) can also be prepared. In this context, the synthesis of CaCO3 templates with controlled size, the mechanism of the protein microparticle formation and mechanical properties of the microparticles are discussed. For the first time, the fabrication of mesoporous monodispersed CaCO3 microtemplates with identical porocity but tuned diameter from 3 to 20 μm is demonstrated. The protein particle diameter can be adjusted by choosing the appropriate template size that is critical for successful pulmonary delivery of insulin. As a first step towards insulin delivery, the in vitro release of insulin at physiological conditions is studied. 相似文献

Thermoresponsive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel films are shown to allow controlled detachment of adsorbed cells via temperature stimuli. Cell response occurs on the timescale of several minutes, is reversible, and allows for harvesting of cells in a mild fashion. The fact that microgels are attached non‐covalently allows using them on a broad variety of (charged) surfaces and is a major advantage as compared to approaches relying on covalent attachment of active films. In the following, the microgels’ physico‐chemical parameters in the adsorbed state and their changes upon temperature variation are studied in order to gain a deeper understanding of the involved phenomena. By means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), the water content, mechanical properties, and adhesion forces of the microgel films are studied as a function of temperature. The analysis shows that these properties change drastically when crossing the critical temperature of the polymer film, which is the basis of the fast cell response upon temperature changes. Furthermore, nanoscale mechanical analysis shows that the films posses a nanoscopic gradient in mechanical properties. 相似文献

We have analyzed in vivo effects of the murine IL-4 mutant Q116D/Y119D (QY), which forms unproductive complexes with IL-4Ralpha and is an antagonist for IL-4 and IL-13 in vitro. Treatment of BALB/c mice with QY during immunization with OVA completely inhibited synthesis of OVA-specific IgE and IgG1. BALB/c-derived knockout mice lacking either IL-4 or IL-4Ralpha also did not develop specific IgE or IgG1, but mounted a much stronger IgG2a and IgG2b response than wild-type mice. In contrast, QY treatment of normal BALB/c mice suppressed specific IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 synthesis, which may indicate the development of tolerance toward the allergen. Associated with the lack of IgE synthesis in QY-treated wild-type mice and in IL-4(-/-) mice used as a control was the failure to develop immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity or anaphylactic shock upon rechallenge. Interestingly, QY treatment also inhibited humoral immune responses and allergic reactivity in SJL/J mice, a strain that did not produce IgE, but displayed IgE-independent mast cell degranulation mediated by specific IgG1. We conclude that QY inhibits Ag-specific humoral immune responses and allergic symptoms mediated either by IgE or IgG1. It needs to be clarified how QY abrogates synthesis of IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3, but the induction of tolerance toward nonhazardous protein Ags should be advantageous for therapy of atopic disorders and other Th2-dominated diseases. 相似文献

HfSiOx with TiN gate is investigated under substrate injection with respect to stress-induced leakage current (SILC). Most damage caused by electrical stress was found in the high- layer and not in the interface to silicon. Dependent on the application, SILC can exhibit several levels of severity. In pure logic circuits, a large area approximation is sufficient. However, for memory applications, the current increase in small area is important as well. Both contributions are investigated, revealing no lifetime-limiting current increase. With an improved deposition process, SILC can even be suppressed. 相似文献

Xmrk is a receptor tyrosine kinase closely related to the human EGF receptor. In the teleost fish Xiphophorus two versions of the Xmrk gene exist, an oncogene (ONC) and a proto-oncogene (INV). While ONC-Xmrk is the melanoma-inducing gene, INV-Xmrk appears not to be involved in transformation of pigment cells. To elucidate the mechanism that converts the proto-oncogene into a transforming oncogene a comparative analysis of the structure, expression and function of both versions of the gene was performed. In contrast to ONC-Xmrk which is expressed at high levels in melanoma cells, the proto-oncogene INV-Xmrk is ubiquitously expressed at very low levels indicating overexpression as one possible reason for tumorigenicity by ONC-Xmrk. As sequence comparison of the proto-oncogene and the oncogene revealed a number of amino acid changes, a possible effect of these mutations on the activation of the ONC-Xmrk receptor was determined. A constitutive activation of the oncogenic receptor was found and ectopic expression of INV-Xmrk after microinjection into medakafish embryos did not lead to the high tumour rate in transgenic fish as observed for the oncogene. Our data therefore suggest that overexpression of the receptor alone is not sufficient for melanoma induction, but that in addition activating mutations in ONC-Xmrk are responsible for its full tumorigenic potential. 相似文献

Stressed deep trench capacitors of Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAM) were analyzed regarding the localization within a test array. A preparation method to find the position within the failing trench and to give information for process improvements is reported. Differences between the dielectrics nitride/oxide and aluminumoxide were seen. The investigations were done mostly for trench geometries of a 110nm technology. One first preparation was also successful for a 90nm technology with enlarged trench surfaces by hemispherical silicon grains ( HSG ). 相似文献

The interaction of a living organism with external foreign agents is a central issue for its survival and adaptation to the environment. Nanosafety should be considered within this perspective, and it should be examined that how different organisms interact with engineered nanomaterials (NM) by either mounting a defensive response or by physiologically adapting to them. Herein, the interaction of NM with one of the major biological systems deputed to recognition of and response to foreign challenges, i.e., the immune system, is specifically addressed. The main focus is innate immunity, the only type of immunity in plants, invertebrates, and lower vertebrates, and that coexists with adaptive immunity in higher vertebrates. Because of their presence in the majority of eukaryotic living organisms, innate immune responses can be viewed in a comparative context. In the majority of cases, the interaction of NM with living organisms results in innate immune reactions that eliminate the possible danger with mechanisms that do not lead to damage. While in some cases such interaction may lead to pathological consequences, in some other cases beneficial effects can be identified. 相似文献

The surface modifications of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 7 to 20 nm dispersed in commonly used cell culture medium supplemented with serum are investigated. All the tested nanoparticles adsorb proteins onto their surface, thereby forming a protein corona through a dynamic process evolving towards an irreversible coating (hard protein corona). Despite the fact that the studied nanomaterials have similar characteristics of hydrophobicity and surface charge, different temporal patterns of the protein corona formation are observed that can be considered a fingerprint for nanoparticle identification. Some of the biological and toxicological implications of the formation of the nanoparticle-protein corona are studied using the human monocytic cell line THP-1 exposed to cobalt oxide nanoparticles. Results show that production of reactive oxygen species is decreased if the nanoparticles are preincubated for 48 h with serum. 相似文献
