Soluble human complement receptor type 1: in vivo inhibitor of complement suppressing post-ischemic myocardial inflammation and necrosis
Harlan F. Weisman,Thomas J. Bartow,Michelle K. Leppo,Henry C. Marsh,Gerald R. Carson,Michael F. Concino,Michael P. Boyle,Kenneth H. Roux,Myron L. Weisfeldt,Douglas T. Fearon +9 more
TL;DR: The sCR1 had complement inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities in a rat model of reperfusion injury of ischemic myocardium, reducing myocardial infarction size by 44 percent and is identified as a potential agent for the suppression of complement-dependent tissue injury in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Daniel A. Calarese,Christopher N. Scanlan,Michael B. Zwick,Songpon Deechongkit,Yusuke Mimura,Renate Kunert,Ping Zhu,Mark R. Wormald,Robyn L. Stanfield,Kenneth H. Roux,Jeffery W. Kelly,Pauline M. Rudd,Raymond A. Dwek,Hermann Katinger,Dennis R. Burton,Ian A. Wilson +15 more
TL;DR: The extraordinary configuration of this antibody provides an extended surface, with newly described binding sites, for multivalent interaction with a conserved cluster of oligomannose type sugars on the surface of gp120, finding a previously unappreciated mechanism for high-affinity recognition of carbohydrate or other repeating epitopes on cell or microbial surfaces.

Distribution and three-dimensional structure of AIDS virus envelope spikes
Ping Zhu,Jun Liu,Julian W. Bess,Elena Chertova,Jeffrey D. Lifson,Henry Grise,Gilad Ofek,Kenneth A. Taylor,Kenneth H. Roux +8 more
TL;DR: Reconciling available atomic structures with the three-dimensional whole spike density map yields insights into the orientation of Env spike structural elements and possible structural bases of their functions.
An improved smaller biotin ligase for BioID proximity labeling.
Dae In Kim,Samuel C. Jensen,Kyle A. Noble,Birendra Kc,Kenneth H. Roux,Khatereh Motamedchaboki,Kyle J. Roux +6 more
TL;DR: A smaller promiscuous biotin ligase for proximity biotinylation called BioID2 enables more-selective targeting of fusion proteins, requires less biotin supplementation, exhibits enhanced labeling of proximate proteins, and demonstrates the use of a flexible linker to modulate the biotin-labeling radius.

High and low annealing temperatures increase both specificity and yield in touchdown and stepdown PCR
Karl H. Hecker,Kenneth H. Roux +1 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of TD PCR are investigated that serve to minimize the need to optimize annealing temperature or buffer conditions and yet produce single strong target amplicons and it is demonstrated that priming initiates above the optimum annealed temperature.
