A Light Microscopical Investigation And

113 randomly selected frustules of Cyclotella taxa, taken from the plankton of four lakes, have been investigated with respect to variation between the two thecae of each frustule and also variation within and between populations occorring in the different lakes. Multivariate statistical analyses of phenetic similarity of the 226 thecae were based on a data matrix recording the status of 11 cha...

Rabies Diagnosis

A cell culture infection test was developed for the isolation ofrabies virus from field cases submitted for rabies diagnosis. The procedure involved the addition of a suspension of suspect brain tissue to a suspension of murine neuroblastoma cells in 96-well microtiter plates. The cultures were then incubated at 35-36° C for four days at which time they were fixed, stained with a fluorescein-la...

The urinary sediment beyond light microscopical examination.

In the present issue of NDT, Chan et al. [1] report that the messenger (m) RNA expression of T-bet (a central Th1 transcription factor), interleukin (IL)-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-b and MCP-1 in the urinary sediment of patients with active lupus nephritis decrease with successful immunosuppressive therapy. Importantly, various other cytokine mRNAs, including those of IL-2, -4, -12 an...

Diagnosis of rabies and typing strains of rabies virus

Advances in Diagnosis of Rabies

Rabies is a major zoonosis for which diagnostic techniques have been standardised internationally. Laboratory techniques are preferably conducted on central nervous system (CNS) tissue removed from the cranium. Agent identification is preferably done using the fluorescent antibody test. A drop of purified immunoglobulin previously conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate is added to an aceton...
