Background To detect antinuclear antibodies (ANA) on the blood’s patients is a mostly used technique to diagnose immunologic diseases. The Indirect Immunofluorescence method (IIF) generates images with ANA patterns them and commonly by immunology laboratories around world. Those are documented in International Consensus of Patterns (ICAP) there 29 at present, split into three main groups: Nucle...

Microfabricated regular sieving structures hold great promise as an alternative to gels to improve biomolecule separation speed and resolution. In contrast to the disordered gel porous network, these regular structures also provide well-defined environments ideal for study of molecular dynamics in confining spaces. However, previous regular sieving structures have been limited for separation of...

r-phycoerythrin (r-pe), a fluorescent protein from phycobiliprotein family, is isolated from red algae. conjugation of antibodies to r-pe facilitates multiple fluorescent staining methods. in the present study polyclonal antibodies and polyclonal f(ab')2 fragment antibodies were conjugated to r-pe by two different methods. the efficiency of the methods was evaluated using immunocytochemistry (i...

“Estaria a Reforma dando sinais de exaustão?” Protagonista deste movimento desde seus pri mórdios, Ana Pitta pergunta com a autoridade de quem entrou para a psiquiatria nos tempos em que descrições fenomenológicas sutilíssimas se mesclavam a portas de ferro trancadas, aos banhos de sol em pátios de cimento nu, e ao chei ro insuportável e inesquecível dos hospícios. A Reforma mudou drasticamente...
