Kinetic Analysis of High Affinity Polyclonal Anti-Fluorescyl Immunoglobulin-G Antibodies
No full textMathematical and experimental tools for the measurement and assessment of association and dissociation kinetics in anti-fluorescyl antibodies were developed in these studies. An analytic procedure for the characterization of heterogeneous first order kinetics was derived. This procedure was based on Laplace transformation of the gamma distribution function, which yielded an exact rate law. Kinetic assays were developed for the measurement of both association and dissociation rates. Association rates were measured by following the increase in fluorescence quenching observed when anti-fluorescyl antibodies were added, in excess, to aqueous fluorescein. The reaction was made pseudo-first order to enable use of the same data processing routines for analysis of both association and dissociation kinetics. Dissociation rates were measured by following the increase in fluorescence intensity after the addition of excess 5-aminofluorescein to a population of fluorescyl-liganded antibodies. Since 5-aminofluorescein was a non-fluorescent competitive inhibitor of fluorescein, the increase in fluorescence intensity was directly attributable to the dissociation of fluorescyl-ligand.Analysis of association reactions in both rabbit polyclonal and murine monoclonal populations of anti-fluorescyl-IgG antibodies revealed the presence of two-step association kinetics. This observation suggested that anti-fluorescyl-IgG antibodies intrinsically exhibited a two-step association mechanism. Dissociation kinetics were analyzed in both monoclonal and polyclonal anti-fluorescyl-IgG antibodies. As expected, monoclonal antibodies exhibited homogeneous dissociation kinetics. Polyclonal anti-fluorescyl antibodies, obtained from individual hyperimmune New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits, exhibited 3-4 different dissociative components. The component with fastest dissociation rate, was typically heterogeneous with an average dissociative lifetime of 8 seconds, where dissociative lifetime was defined as the reciprocal dissociation rate constant. Longer lifetime components exhibited lifetimes of several hundred seconds, and became progressively more homogeneous with increasing lifetime. Polyclonal anti-fluorescyl antibody preparations, obtained from 14 different hyperimmune NZW rabbits, were used to characterize the expression of anti-fluorescyl antibodies within the rabbit population. Analysis of dissociation kinetics revealed the presence of 4 distinct groupings of dissociative lifetimes, which were approximately Gaussian in their distribution. Average lifetimes of 8, 52.6, 313 and 1417 seconds were observed for the four groupings. Assuming identical association rates for the four groupings, their average affinities were separated by 1 Kcal/mole increments.Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-14T07:14:50Z (GMT).

It's virtually politics: Information technology and transnational activism in the developing world
No full textThe study examines the role of information technology in facilitating transboundary networking among members of domestic civil societies who are seeking changes in policies of individual governments and organizations, both in their own countries and elsewhere.The study centers on four cases of transboundary, or transnational, activism. These are (a) the campaign against the deforestation of the Amazon rainforests in Brazil (b) the campaign against the construction of large dams on the Narmada river in India (c) the campaign on behalf of the agenda of the armed insurrection against the Mexican government in Chiapas, and (d) the campaign against alleged human rights violations by both the rebels and the government in the Indian province of Jammu and Kashmir.For each of these cases, the following tasks are carried out: (1) First, specific activities and characteristics of the networks of individuals and organizations that allow these networks to be relatively successful or unsuccessful in sustaining themselves and prosecuting their agendas are enumerated. (2) Second, the role of information technology in promoting the development of these activities and characteristics is examined. (3) Third, the conclusion of the study summarizes the results of the first and the second tasks across the four cases. Of the four cases, two--the Amazon and the Narmada--involve the issue-area of the environment; the other two--Chiapas and Kashmir--involve largely human rights issues.The Amazon and the Narmada cases both saw the evolution of strong networks before the arrival of information technology; the networks have subsequently made good use of technology. The Kashmir and the Chiapas networks have, on the other hand, grown simultaneously with the use of information technology.The Amazon and the Narmada cases have seen many overlapping individuals and organizations; the overlap has been minimal in the cases of Chiapas and Kashmir.Two of the cases are from Latin America, which is geographically close to the United States (with its burgeoning Internet activism, and with its traditional cultural, strategic, and economic involvement with the region) whereas the other two are from South Asia, which has seen far less American involvement.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:04:24Z (GMT).
