University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, Košice, Slovak Republic (Received 1 March 2013) The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum proteins electrophoretic pattern and the concentrations of acute phase proteins in calves with chronic bronchopneumonia. Twenty-eight calves with clinical symptoms of disease were included into the evaluation. Blood serum was analyzed for total protein ...

1. Incorporation of S(35)-labeled amino acids into serum proteins has been studied in neonatal and developing rabbits. It was found that, per unit weight, neonatal rabbits synthesized only about 1/36 of the gamma globulin, 1/7 of the beta globulin, (1/2) of the alpha globulin, and (1/8) of the albumin that an adult synthesized. The growing rabbit developed the ability to synthesize various seru...

A few findings which seem to be of importance may be pointed out:- Table I shows the analytical figures of serum-albumin, serum-globulin, and fibrin of the normal dog. The main difference between albumin and globulin appears in the relation of the precipitable to the non-precipitable total nitrogen and amino-nitrogen. Precipitable total nitrogen as well as amino-nitrogen is considerably larger ...

We undertook a prospective longitudinal study of thyroid function in 36 pregnant women. There were significant increases in thyroxin-binding globulin, thyrotropin, and triiodothyronine. Albumin, free thyroxin (measured by an analog and a nonanalog method), and the free thyroxin index were significantly decreased. Results for the free thyroxin methods were correlated with each other in each trim...

The total protein, albumin, globulin, and immunoglobulin levels of sera from 96 children with homozygous sickle cell disease were studied. A comparison of the results with the levels found in a control group of normal children of the same age shows that the sicklers have higher total protein, globulin, and IgM levels. The amounts of albumin and IgA seen were almost the same in both groups. The ...

The serum proteinograms of 10 female Holstein calves fed milk either through conventional (COV) or step-down (STP) milk feeding methods at different ages were evaluated. Calves fed using the COV method were fed colostrum during the first 24 hours that they stayed with their respective mothers and received transition milk for another 2 days and later, and then milk at four liters/day for 59 days...

Background and objectives Determination of different grain protein fractions in wheat cultivars is an important task analyzing bread baking quality. In many laboratories, the Bradford assay used to determine concentrations solutions. any (including Bradford), ideal use as a standard purified being assayed. absence such absolute reference, another must be selected relative bovine serum albumin (...

Three years after beginning employment at a bakery, a 32-year-old Japanese man began experiencing acute asthma exacerbations after exposure to rye flour. Antigen-specific serum IgE antibodies were detected to the albumin and globulin, gliadin, prolamin, and glutenin protein fractions of rye flour purified from the crude antigen, but only to the albumin and globulin fraction of wheat flour. The ...

The progress of an infection is usually associated with marked changes in the serum proteins. There may be an increase in the percentage of the total protein during some stage of the infection, and there is usually a change in the albumin-globulin ratio with an increase in the total globulins. This rise may antedate the development of any resistance by a considerable period of time. The non-pro...

The effect of Lambda-cyhalothrin on the immune response was studied in rabbits exposed to the insecticide via food at concentrations of 1373.23, 686.76 or 343.38 ppm (equivalent to 1/10, 1/20 and 1/40 oral LD50, respectively) for 8 weeks. The humoral immune response was measured by determination of the antibody titre against sheep red blood cells (SRBC), a T cell dependent antigen. Moreover, th...
