-The three known classes of immunoglobulins from Minnesota miniature swine have been isolated from sow serum. Whole immunoglobulin molecules and their constituent chains have been characterized physically, and monospecific anti-chain sera have been prepared to ?-chains, /z-chains, a-chains and light chains. The average concentration of each immunoglobulin class in sow serum has also been determ...

Method Aortic transplantations were performed in Lewis rats. Aortic arches stored in Saline, Custodiol and Tiprotec solutions for 2 hours, then were transplanted into abdominal aorta. Two, 24 hours and 1 week after transplantation, the implanted grafts were harvested. Endothelium-dependent and-independent vasorelaxations were investigated in organ bath. DNA strand breaks were assessed by TUNEL-...

Background. A case report of a nonhealing ulcer of the tongue histologically proven to be adenocarcinoma. Method. A 92-year-old man underwent clinical, immunochemistry, and imaging investigation. Results. Tests confirmed a distant metastasis of a primary colorectal carcinoma. Conclusion. Metastasis from colorectal carcinoma to the oral cavity is primarily to bone, but non-healing ulcers of the ...

Drosophila myosuppressin (TDVDHVFLRFamide; DMS) and sulfakinin (FDDYGHMRFamide; DSK) have similar C-terminal structures. To determine the neuronal expression patterns of these structurally related peptides, we have generated DMS- and DSK-specific antisera to multiple antigenic peptides and performed double-label immunochemistry with antisera raised on different animals of the same species host ...

The measurement of total haemolytic complement is of diagnostic value in the rheumatic diseases. A method which is easier to perform than that of Kabat and Mayer (Experimental Immunochemistry, 2nd ed., Thomas, Springfield, Ill.) is described. A unit based on the mean value of the complement activities of normal sera is proposed to replace CH50 units. Other steps by which standardization of the ...

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a highly malignant neoplasm of childhood and adolescence seen commonly in both axial and appendicular skeleton but uncommonly in acral region. Ewing’s tumor in the hand is extraordinarily rare. Radiological features are variable and can mimic other common lesions. We present a case of 13 year old female, with complaints of pain and swelling in right hand, which on X-ray ...
