BACKGROUND Viola canescens Wall. ex. Roxb. exhibits analgesic, antimalarial and antispasmodic activities. It is used folklorically for the treatment of liver diseases, hypertension, malaria and cancer. The current study investigates phytochemical constituents, antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of solvent extracts of whole plant of Viola canescens. METHODS Phytochemicals, acute toxicit...

The production of murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) has not yet been reported in Iran. The present work describes for the first time the generation of several murine hybridoma clones secreting MAbs directed against human leukocyte surface antigens. The secreted antibodies by hybridoma clones have been screened on different lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. Results indicated that of seven h...

Renin granules were partially purified from rat kidney cortex, and a storage form of renin in the granules was examined. Renin granules were isolated by discontinuous Percoll density gradient centrifugation followed by continuous Percoll density gradient centrifugation. The partially purified fraction was free from mitochondria and microsomes, as judged by the absence of marker enzymes of these...

Pierce, William A., Jr. (Tulane University, New Orleans, La.). Electrophoretic separation of constituents of partially purified M protein of Streptococcus pyogenes. J. Bacteriol. 88:912-921. 1964.-Partially purified M protein of a group A, type 12 strain of Streptococcus pyogenes was studied by use of chemical, electrophoretic, and immunological techniques. It was demonstrated in immunodiffusio...

the aim of the present work was to purify cysteine protease inhibitors from rapeseed (brassica napus l.), with potential activity on digestive protease of colorado potato beetle (cpb), leptinotarsa decemlineata (say). ammonium sulfate precipitated proteinaceous fractions; 30, 50, 70, and 100% showed 39.07, 57.03, 51.47, and 22.44% inhibition on the fourth instar larval gut general protease acti...

Multiple forms of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 isolated from immature male rats pretreated with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene are described. A fraction. of low specific content (Fraction A, 1.7 to 4.0 nmol of cytochrome P-450 per mg of protein) and a fraction substantially purified (Fraction B, 9.0 to 11.0 mnol of cytochrome P-450 per mg of protein) are obtained by DEAE-cellulose c...

the enzyme pgalactosidase from a mutant strain of a. niger uv-5 was partially purified using ammonium sulfate and acetone. the saturation range of 60-80% ammonium sulfate was found to yield 60.5% enzyme recovery with 2.4 fold purification. acetone precipitation at enzyme: acetone ratio of 1 : 1.5 brought about a higher yield i.e. 68% and three-fold purification. the combined procedures of 1.5 v...

This article describes an integrated process for simultaneous purification of lysozyme, ovalbumin, and ovomucoid from hen egg white. The crude egg white extract was passed through a cation exchanger Streamline trade mark SP and the bound lysozyme was eluted with 5% ammonium carbonate, pH 9.0, containing 1 M NaCl after elution of avidin. This partially purified lysozyme was further purified 639-...
