چکیده

A heptaglycosylceramide was isolated from bovine erythrocyte membranes. The structure was characterized to be Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc-NAc(beta 1-4)al(beta 1-4)GlcCer. A hexaglycosylceramide that has the same sequence except for the terminal alpha-galactosyl unit has also been isolated. We have previously found that gangliosides isolated from bovine erythrocyte membranes contain a keratan sulfate type repeating unit --[3Gal(beta 1-4)-GlcNAc beta]--n. This study shows that the keratan sulfate type repeating unit is also present in the neutral glycosphingolipids of bovine erythrocyte membranes.

Development and Cytogenetic Characterization of a Continuous Bovine Kidney Cell Line (IRKHBK) and Evaluation its Susceptibility to some Viruses

In this syudy a continuous bovine kidney cell line derived from a primary bovine kidney cells was established for the first time in Iran. The cells were originating from two-day-old normal male calf of Holstein breed. The cell cultures were continuously passaged following complete proliferation of primary cells. The specific properties or characteristics of the cell were defined using cytogenet...

THE ISOLATION OF ENZYME TRANSKETOLASE FROM HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES: THE CHARACTERIZATION OF ITS QUARTERNARY STRUCTURE

Human erythrocyte transketolase (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate: D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, glycolaldehyde transferase, E.C. 2.2.1.1.) has been isolated from erythrocytes with a specific activity of 59.84 U/mg. SDS-PAGE and SE-HPLC were used both as a measure of purity and as a preparative mean to obtain a higher degree of purity. Four protein bands corresponding to molecular weights of 32,0...

Isolation and characterization of the complement-inhibiting protein CD59 antigen from platelet membranes.

Several groups have recently described the isolation of a 20 kDa membrane-attack-complex (MAC)-inhibiting protein, termed 'CD59 antigen', from human erythrocyte membranes. Antibodies raised against erythrocyte CD59 antigen detect antigen on the surface of many other cell types, and in some of these cells the antigen has been shown to have a molecular mass similar to that of the erythrocyte prot...

Modified cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were prepared by dissolving the polymers in a mixture of acetone (AC) and N, N dimethylacetamide (DMAc) (70:30) solvent and deionized (DI) water was used in the coagulation bath. The introduction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) additive and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) into the casting solution has changed the structures of the resulting membranes during the p...
