Variable domain mutational analysis to probe the molecular mechanisms of high viscosity of an IgG1 antibody by Jing Dai, Saeed Izadi, Jonathan Zarzar, Patrick Wu, Angela Oh, Paul J. Carter

“…Subcutaneous injection is the preferred route of administration for many antibody therapeutics for reasons that include its speed and convenience. However, the small volume limit (typically [Formula: see text]2 mL) for subcutaneous delivery often necessitates antibody formulations at high concentrations (commonly ≥100 mg/mL), which may lead to physicochemical problems. …”

Physicochemical Properties of the CoO/AlO, AgO/AlO and AgO-CoO/AlO Systems and Their Catalytic Activities towards Acid-Base and Redox Reactions by E.A. El-Sharkawy, Shar S. Al-Shihry, A.M. Youssef

“…The conversion of propan-2-ol at 573 K was followed using the micro-catalytic pulse technique, whereas the decomposition of H 2 O 2 at 298–313 K was followed by determining the volume of oxygen released with time. Solid-solid interactions between the components of the systems resulted in the formation of Co 3 O 4 and CoAl 2 O 4 , their ratio depending on the chemical composition and heat-treatment temperature employed with Ag in its metallic form. …”
