The effect of bonding structure of diamond like carbon (DLC) film with surface nickel coating upon laser annealing by Xu, Naiyun, Tsang, Siu Hon, Tan, Chong Wei, Teo, Hang Tong, Wang, Xincai, Tay, Beng Kang

“…The Raman spectra shows more pronounced change for a-C films with Ni coating than those without Ni coating upon laser annealing, and the Raman features also suggest that the Ni surface coating can enhance formation of the six-ring graphitic-like sp2 ordering. Electrical measurement shows a low resistive characteristic for both set of films due to laser induced conducting sp2 clusters formation.…”

Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…Various protein scaffolds have been designed to recapitulate the specific recognition of presented antigens with the aim to be exploited both diagnostically (e.g. to visualize cells exposed to infectious agents or cellular transformation) and therapeutically (e.g. for the delivery of drugs to compromised cells). In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”
