Dietary Tryptophan and Blood Gamma-globulin Level

Phenotype and Gamma Globulin Levels

In 1964, de Grouchy described the clinical picture associated with partial monosomy for No. 18 chromosome due to a deletion of part of the long arms (de Grouchy et al., 1964a, b). Subsequent case reports have confirmed a phenotypic similarity in individuals with this deletion. Edwards and associates (1960) described a new autosomal trisomy, that of chromosome 18. Since their report, there have ...

Level of Interferon Gamma in the Blood of Tuberculosis Patients

Background: Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine produced by a variety of cells is involved in the immune response against M. tuberculosis. It activates the production of other cytokines and molecules that kill mycobacterium. IFN-γ also has diagnostic role in identification of active and latent tuberculosis. Objective: To determine the level of IFN-γ in the blood of TB patients. Methods: Ninety...

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...

Purification of rat gamma globulin and the production of a specific antirat gamma globulin serum.

A method for the isolation of rat 7S gamma globulin based on multiple adsorptions with DEAE-Sephadex A-50 has been presented. The separation of rat 7S globulin requires a procedure modified from the one used for humans in terms of the buffer pH, and the number of adsorptions. Ultracentrifugal analysis indicates the resulting fraction is a single component. In addition, immunoelectrophoresis of ...
