The plant cell wall is one of the first defensive barriers that pathogens need to overcome to successfully colonize plant tissues. Plant cell wall is considered a dynamic structure that regulates both constitutive and inducible defense mechanisms. The wall is a potential source of a diverse set of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs), which are signalling molecules that trigger immune r...

deleanu, frei, and hilton have developed the notion of generalized adams completion in a categorical context. in this paper, we have obtained the postnikov-like approximation of a module, with the help of a suitable set of morphisms.

Published research on fucoidans increased three fold between 2000 and 2010. These algal derived marine carbohydrate polymers present numerous valuable bioactivities. This review discusses the role for fucoidan in the control of acute and chronic inflammation via selectin blockade, enzyme inhibition and inhibiting the complement cascade. The recent data on toxicology and uptake of fucoidan is de...

An improved method is described for the preparation of bovine testicular beta-galactosidase that allows the isolation of enzyme fractions that bind avidly to phosphomannosyl receptors. The procedure permits removal of a contaminating beta-hexosaminidase and yields nearly homogeneous beta-galactosidase. Enzyme eluted from DEAE-Sephacel was arbitrarily divided into pools that exhibited differing ...

The present study related the nutritional contents, fatty acid compositions, in vitro antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of different solvents extracts Pleurotus eryngii. contents P. eryngii were investigated detail. Crude protein (g 100 kg-1), carbohydrate lipid ash dietary fiber kg-1) energy value (cal g-1) fruiting bodies analysed. Fatty compositions total lipid, phospholip...

To obtain purified H and M antigens suitable as primary standards in the serological diagnosis of histoplasmosis by agar gel double-diffusion tests, H and M reactive components of histoplasmin were fractionated by column chromatography by using Sephadex G-100, Sephadex G-200, and diethylaminoethyl cellulose. Six fractions from diethylaminoethyl cellulose were reactive in agar gel double-diffusi...

This study evaluated the antimicrobial and hemolytic activities and phytochemical constituents of hydroalcoholic extract and its fractions from Buchenavia tetraphylla leaves. Cyclohexane (BTCF), ethyl acetate (BTEF), and n-butanol-soluble (BTSBF) and non-soluble (BTNBF) fractions were obtained from a liquid-liquid partition of hydroalcoholic extract (BTHE) from B. tetraphylla leaves. The hemoly...

The proteins of the human erythrocyte membrane can be fractionated into several groups. Approximately one-half of the proteins in the membrane can be removed by sequential extraction of the erythrocyte ghost, first with a solution containing chelating agents, and then with concentrated NaCl solutions. A small amount of the membrane proteins (less than 10% of the total proteins) remains in the o...

Lectin from females of the important sand fly vector, Phlebotomus duboscqi (Diptera: Psychodidae), was isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography using a minicolumn with immobilized anti-lectin immunoglobulins. Carbohydrate-binding specificity of active fractions corresponded to that of midgut and salivary gland lysates. Haemagglutination was inhibited by d-glucosamine, d-galactosamine and d-man...

A method of fractionation of "ghosts" was devised to identify the chemical components of the cytoplasmic membrane. The method consists of dialyzing the "ghosts" against distilled water, and then dissolving the ghosts in dilute alkali. The ghosts were fractionated into four fractions by use of differential centrifugation. The components of each fraction were analyzed in detail. The ratio of lipi...
