AIMS To verify whether the proposed new silver staining method compares favourably with other well established methods in the detection of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsies. METHODS One hundred and forty pairs of antral and fundic biopsies, routinely formalin fixed and paraffin wax embedded, from 70 consecutive unselected patients were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, modified Giems...

The aim of this work is to characterize Nephilengys cruentata in relation to the diploid number, chromosome morphology, type of sex determination chromosome system, chromosomes bearing the Nucleolar Organizer Regions (NORs), C-banding pattern, and AT or GC repetitive sequences. The chromosome preparations were submitted to standard staining (Giemsa), NOR silver impregnation, C-banding technique...

Commercially produced fluorescein labelled monoclonal antibodies for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis have recently become available. One is for detecting inclusions in cell culture (culture confirmation) and the other for detecting elementary bodies in smears from potentially infected sites. We have compared the two monoclonal antibodies with our routine isolation method, which utilises ...

Fibrosarcoma is a deadly disease in cats and is significantly more often located at classical vaccine injections sites. More rare forms of spontaneous non-vaccination site (NSV) fibrosarcomas have been described and have been found associated to genetic alterations. Purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of adenoviral gene transfer in NVS fibrosarcoma. We isolated and characterized a...

Accordingly, representative sample blood collected for haemato-biochemical alteration demo...

PURPOSE The host response to allergens appears to be regulated by specific patterns of local cytokine production. More than 20,000 conjunctival superficial cells were collected with a special brush, a smaller version of the Cytobrush used in cervical cytology, from the upper palpebral conjuntiva. METHODS Samples were obtained by cytology brush from seven patients with allergic conjunctivitis ...
