high concentration of heavy metals or long time exposure to low concentrations of these metals can usually decrease the hematological indices in fish. therefore the aim of this study was to indicate changes in hematology and serum chemistry of common carp (cyprinus carpio) after low cadmium concentration exposure. 60 apparently healthy common carp (mean weight of 700g) divided in two groups and...

In 1964, de Grouchy described the clinical picture associated with partial monosomy for No. 18 chromosome due to a deletion of part of the long arms (de Grouchy et al., 1964a, b). Subsequent case reports have confirmed a phenotypic similarity in individuals with this deletion. Edwards and associates (1960) described a new autosomal trisomy, that of chromosome 18. Since their report, there have ...

Bence-Jones proteins are commonly found in patients with multiple myeloma and have been defined classically' as abnormal urinary proteins that have characteristic thermosolubility properties. Structural studies2 have shown that BenceJones proteins are similar or identical to the light (L) polypeptide chains isolated from the myeloma globulin of the same patient. Taken in conjunction with the re...

Gamma globulin and antibody obtained from inbred C(3)H mice are split by papain and cysteine into fragments roughly one-third the size of the original Molecule (S(20,w) = 3.5S). The papain digests were characterized by starch gel electrophoresis and immunological methods. The highly heterogeneous fragments could be divided into two groups with distinct antigenic determinants (S and F), which we...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of providing a water-soluble globulin in the drinking water on growth performance of weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 360 weanling pigs (5.0 +/- 1.2 kg; 17 +/- 3 d of age; PIC) were blocked by initial weight and allotted to one of six treatments in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Treatments included three diet complexity regimens with or without wa...

Using paper eletrophoresis two amylolytic enzymes in human urine were demonstrated. A main peak was shown in the gamma globulin zone in normal urine and a second minor peak, in contrast to earlier findings, in the beta globulin zone. The organic source of the minor peak is probably in the liver. Urines from cases of acute hepatitis were studied in the same way and showed that the electrophoreti...
