Governments and civil society recognize that modern biotechnology has enormous potential, for human health as well as for environmental and economic development. The first generation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture allows farmers to increase yields and reduce the use of agricultural chemicals. The second-generation of genetically modified (GM) foods is probably most inte...

The detection of genetically modified (GM) maize events is an inevitable necessity under the strict regulatory systems many countries. To screen for GM events, we developed a multiplex PCR system to specifically detect 29 as well cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, Agrobacterium tumefaciens nos terminator, Streptomyces viridochromogenes pat gene, and endogenous zSSIIb reference gene. These t...

Goal. To study the productive and slaughter qualities of young pigs chemical composition muscle tissue liver for use high-protein fodder — narrow-leaf lupine genetically modified (GM) soybeans as a part grain mixes. Methods. In experiment, two groups experimental animals were formed: first group (control) was fed with mixture № 1 narrow-leaved (alkaloid-free) sunflower cake; second (experimenta...

World leaders meeting at the G8 summit in St Petersburg last month had hoped for at least one outcome: a boost to the flagging world trade negotiations in the current round that have been struggling since their initiation in Doha in 2001. Agreement must be reached this month if progress is to be made in this round. Issues are many and various, but in Europe one battle between EU member states a...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium are antigenically and genetically similar organisms; however, they differ in their virulence for cattle. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis causes a chronic intestinal infection leading to a chronic wasting disease termed paratuberculosis or Johne's disease, whereas M. avium subsp. avium causes only a transient infec...

  Partially fed (4 -5 days) H .a. anatolicum (Iranian isolate) female adult ticks were used for preparation of antigens of midgut which are, the gut supernate antigen (GS), gut membrane antigen (GM), triton extracted gut membrane antigen ( TX-GM ) and sodium dodecyl sulphate treated Triton extracted gut membrane antigen (SDS-TX-GM). The New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with GS, GM, TX- ...

The methanol extracts of leaves of Bauhinia acuminata (MESF) and their different fractions obtained from modified Kupchan partitioning method i.e. methanol, pet ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and aqueous soluble fractions were subjected to biological screening such as total phenolic content and antioxidant activity screening.The amount of total phenolic content differed in di...

granulomatous mastitis (gm) is a rare breast disease with unknown etiology. clinical management strategies for gm include surgery, antibiotics, and steroid treatments. as patients with gm often respond to steroids, gm is thought to be an autoimmune disease. here we describe a case of trauma?induced gm that presented as autoimmune disease but was successfully treated by surgery without steroids....
