S100A4 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use
Cancer metastasis are responsible for ~90% of cancer associated deaths. Recent studies suggest that immune cells play critical roles in promoting metastasis, especially myeloid cells from the bone marrow. UTHealth researchers, with researchers from The Methodist Hospital, observed a highly conserved expression of S100A4 in immune suppressive myeloid...

Monoclonal antibodies against human and mouse leptin for therapeutic and diagnostic use.
BackgroundLeptin is a hormone produced by adipocytes and is elevated in obesity. The congenital lack of leptin results in obesity and the metabolism field widely accepts the concept. Upon cloning of the leptin gene, the original hope was that leptin would act as a break for further food intake and a trigger to increase energy expenditure. The hope was...
