NISTmAb and NISTCHO: Reference Materials for the Biopharmaceutical Industry
This video, from Digital World Biology, discusses the development and characteristics of a cell line called NIST CHO, engineered to produce a monoclonal antibody. The video details the various cell lines used in research, including E. coli, NS0 cells, and yeast strains, highlighting the transition to CHO cells desired by industry for industrial production. The criteria for the NIST CHO cells are outlined, emphasizing their representation of antibodies produced in CHO cell lines and animal-origin-free production. The development process involves engineering a stable construct with one expression cassette for the antibody's heavy and light chains. Additionally, the availability of NIST CHO cells and their usage terms are discussed, including restrictions on commercial use and the requirement to communicate research results to NIST annually. This video runs 43:35 minutes in length
Python with Labeling and Calculate Field (Module 5 of 9)
This resource, provided by the GeoTech Center, is the fifth of nine online modules in the Python and Geospatial Mapping course. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.This module focuses on adding Python scripts to specific ArcGIS Pro tools. Topics covered include using code to create and apply labels in ArcGIS Pro using Python, using Extensible Markup Language (XML) to edit label text (font, size, color, etc.), using Python to create values for attributes in the ArcGIS calculate field tool. The module includes two assignments with brief videos and three video lessons accompanying the module.Other modules in the course are available to view separately
Learning Activity 1.1: Marshmallow Preparation - Measurement and Calculations
This 7-page learning activity, was published by Erie Community College and is from the Introduction to Vacuum Technology Student and Instructor Laboratory Manuals that accompany the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-Book.
