Adsorption characteristics of .GAMMA.-globulin on carboxylated microcapsules.

Fluoride adsorption on carboxylated aerobic granules containing Ce(III).

Aerobic granules (AG) were carboxylated and Ce(III) was incorporated to obtain modified granuels (Ce(III)-MAG) for removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions. The Ce(III)-MAG was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and pH(pzc), and the introduction of carboxyl groups and Ce(III) was confirmed. The adsorption capacity of Ce(III)-MAG for fluoride was 45.80 mg/g at neutral pH, an increase of 359% comp...

The adsorption of immunoglobulin on alginate-based microcapsules

Important advances in the transplantation of islets of Langerhans have recently been achieved using alginate-based microcapsules (De Vos 2006). These microcapsules safely protect the transplanted cells from graft rejection in the absence of long-term immunosuppression. Recent progress has allowed us to effectively eliminate the development of fibrosis surrounding the implanted microcapsules (De...

Human Gamma Globulin.

Gamma globulin prophylaxis.

THE importance of infectious hepatitis as a world-wide problem has been highlighted in detail during the presentations made at this symposium. It is clear that as of today (May I 8, I968) there is no published report confirming the isolation of infectious hepatitis virus in a tissue-culture system or animal host. Experience with poliomyelitis, measles, and rubella has revealed that the time int...

Adsorption and Aggregation of Gamma Globulin onto Chylomicrons in Serum of Lowered Ionic Strength †

In the course of experiments involving centrifugation of fresh postprandial human serum diluted with isotonic sucrose, an unexpected phenomenon was noted; the usual opaque fat layer at the surface was missing, and a white pellet was deposited at the bottom of the tube. Microscopic and chemical examinations revealed the deposit to be composed of chylomicrons. Further study of this phenomenon dem...
