SPECIFICITY OF INTESTINAL AMINOPOLYPEPTIDASE

Specificity of the Human Intestinal Disaccharidases

The existence of several different a-glucosidases has recently been demonstrated in extracts of pig intestinal mucosa (1-7). These enzymes have varying specificity for disaccharides with a-D-glucopyranoside structure (e.g., maltose, sucrose, isomaltose, trehalose), and thus the intestinal hydrolysis of these sugars is caused by a more complicated enzyme mixture than had been previously believed...

Immunological specificity of Staphylococal penicillinase

Specificity of Dog Intestinal Phosphatase Antiserum* by Max Schlamowitz

Alkaline phosphatases are known to occur in the various body tissues and in the blood serum. It may reasonably be said that the phosphatase of serum is a mixture of the enzymes contributed by the tissues in varying amounts. Under pathological conditions the contribution of phosphatase from particular tissues may be increased enormously. This fact has been utilized as an aid in clinical diagnosi...

STUDIES ON THE TISSUE SPECIFICITY OF COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR

In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...

Sensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis

  Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
