The objective was to characterize uptake and correlates of effective contraceptive use postpartum.
To more quantitatively characterize uptake of phospholipid-coated SWCNT by macrophages we utilized fluorescently labeled PS, NBD-PS, for coating SWCNT; NBD-PC was utilized in control experiments.
The next several years will include a substantial expansion of the evidence base characterizing uptake, adherence, and persistence with PrEP.
We previously used salivary cotinine to characterize uptake of SHS constituents in nonsmokers after a 6-hr visit to outdoor patios and seating areas of restaurants and bars (Hall et al. 2009).
Rapid equilibrium characterized the uptake of RhB onto DNc and CCDNc; equilibrium was attained between 40 and 50 min for all the concentrations considered (Fig. 4a, b).
EPC were characterized by uptake of 1,1'- dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine-labeled acetylated low density lipoprotein (Harbor Bio-Products) and BS-1 lectin (Sigma) staining, as well as by flow cytometry analysis of the following surface markers: CD34, CD133, CD45, CD14, KDR, CD31, VE-cadherin (CD144) and MCAM (CD146) [16] [17], [17].
Here, we characterized exosome uptake and internalization by human bladder cancer cells using Amnis ImageStreamX, an image cytometer.
It is well known that K+ uptake is characterized by biphasic uptake kinetics, a low-affinity transport system (LATS) (mechanism 2, i.e., K+ channel) and a high-affinity transport system (HATS) (mechanism 1, i.e., K+/H+ symport) [ 17, 18].
As a negative control, we expressed a Flag-tagged version of the human transferrin receptor (Flag-TfnR), a well characterized nutrient-uptake receptor that is present in the plasma membrane but is not known to localize to cilia [19].
Practical considerations have led to a widespread use of the standardized uptake value (SUV) as a metric for characterizing tumour uptake.
