Irradiated rabbits given allogeneic bone marrow cells from normal adult donors responded to an injection of sheep red blood cells by forming circulating antibodies. Their spleen cells were also capable of forming many plaques using the hemolysis in gel technique, and were also capable of undergoing blastogenesis and mitosis and of incorporating tritiated thymidine upon exposure to the specific ...

Azo, anthroquinone and triphenylmethane dyes are the major classes of synthetic colourants, which are difficult to degrade and have received considerable attention. Congo red, a diazo dye, is considered as a xenobiotic compound, and is recalcitrant to biodegradative processes. Nevertheless, during the last few years it has been demonstrated that several fungi, under certain environmental condit...

Rh(null) red cells are characteristically stomato-spherocytic. This and other evidence suggest that the Rh complex represents a major attachment site between the membrane lipid bilayer and the erythroid skeleton. As an attempt to identify the linking protein(s) between the red cell skeleton and the Rh complex, we analyzed the expression of Rh, RhAG, CD47, LW, and glycophorin B proteins in red c...

BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the effect of dietary polyphenols on the complex human gut microbiota, and they focused mainly on single polyphenol molecules and select bacterial populations. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the effect of a moderate intake of red wine polyphenols on select gut microbial groups implicated in host health benefits. DESIGN Ten healthy male volun...

Procaine hydrochloric acid, a cationic anesthetic, although unable to prevent the effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on erythrocytes, inhibited the discocyte--echinocyte transformation, increased viscosity, and decreased filterability of red cells undergoing ATP depletion. The effects were abolished by washing ATP-depleted, procaine HCl-treated red cells prior to these determinations. Procaine ...

The agarose-coupled triazine dye Procion Red HE-3B has been demonstrated to be applicable as an affinity gel for the purification of five diverse hydrogenases, namely the soluble, NAD-specific and the membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus, the membrane-bound hydrogenase of the N2-fixing Alcaligenes latus, the reversible H2-evolving and the unidirectional H2-oxidizing hydrogenase o...

Procaine hydrochloric acid, a cationic anesthetic, although unable to prevent the effect of calcium ionophore A231 87 on erythrocytes, inhibited the discocyteechinocyte transformation, increased viscosity, and decreased filterability of red cells undergoing AlP depletion. The effects were abolished by washing ATP-depleted, procaine HCI-treated red cells prior to these determinations. Procaine H...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of surface polishing on mercury release from dental amalgam after treatment with 16% carbamide peroxide gel. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six samples from two different amalgam brands were prepared in truncated cone-shaped PVC polymer molds with an external surface area of 195 mm(2). Half of the specimens were polished with green and red rubber, a br...

gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. high specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. they are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. in this research, nano al particles have been used in udmh gel fuel. the gel...

This study was investigated to determine the effect of microbial transglutaminase (MTG) with or without red bean protein isolate (RBPI) on the porcine myofibrillar protein (MP) gel functionality at different pH values (pH 5.75-6.5). Cooking yield (CY, %), gel strength (GS, gf), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were determined to measure gel charact...
