The induction of an immunological antitumor response capable of eradicating metastatic tumors is the ultimate goal of immunotherapy. We have recently shown that this can be achieved by interleukin 2 (IL-2) therapy directed to the tumor microenvironment by a recombinant antibody-IL-2 fusion protein. It is not known, however, whether this curative treatment is associated with a predominance of T ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a global health concern that has caused severe threats over the past decade. Leaves extract of C. odontophyllum been proven previously as an anti MRSA agent. Proteomics provide technique used to analyze differential protein expression profile between untreated and treated with subinhibitory concentrations acetone from leaves. This ...

Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is a powerful and widely used method for the analysis of complex protein mixtures extracted from cells, tissues, or other biological samples. This technique sort’s protein according to two independent properties in two discrete steps: the first-dimension step, isoelectric focusing (IEF), separates proteins according to their isoelectric points (pI); the se...

Two novel complexes [CuL2(H2O)2]n (1), [(ZnL2)H2O]n (2) (HL ?= ?5-(Pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinic acid) were synthesized and their vitro biological activity was systematically studied. The ability of the to bind FS-DNA measured by fluorescence spectroscopy, Stern-Volmer quenching values complex 1–2 are 0.03904 0.09522. cleavage behavior agarose gel electrophoresis showed cut pBR322 plasmid DNA. Both fl...

The proteins of solid lung tumours (15 adenocarcinomas and 10 squamous cell carcinomas) were examined by high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and compared with the proteins of adjacent lung tissue which demonstrated no histological evidence of malignant transformation, and with the proteins of other malignant tumours and normal tissues. To investigate tumour cell-specific prot...

results the results showed that nl1-gc/ls2 primer set could yield species-specific amplicons, which were well distinguished and allowed better species discrimination than that generated by the its3-gc/its4 primer set, in both dgge and ttge profiles. all five candida species were discriminated by dgge and ttge using the nl1-gc/ls2 primer set. conclusions comparison of dgge and ttge profiles obta...

Building 3-dimensional (3D) molecules is the starting point in molecular modeling. Conformer search and identification of a global energy minimum structure are often performed computationally during spectral analysis of data from NMR, IR, and VCD or during rational drug design through ligand-based, structure-based, and QSAR approaches. I herein report a convenient script that allows for automat...

Echocardiography is the method of choice to establish a diagnosis and determine a treatment plan for patients with noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM). The 2-dimentional echocardiography, 3-dimentional echocardiography, color Doppler echocardiography and contrast-enhanced echocardiography are of critical importance for diagnosis and family screening of NVM.

Thyroxine-binding alpha globulin (TBG) in human serum was isolated from Cohn fractions IV-5,6 and IV-4 by (1) chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM) cellulose, (2) gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, (3) chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex, (4) a novel procedure of "double-gel" electrophoresis, and (5) preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was homogeneous by analytica...
