background: allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. it is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. in this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-ccds) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. methods: grape ex...

This paper describes an early-stage evaluation of a purpose-designed extraction/detection system that can be deployed by non-specialists either on-site or as part of a mobile laboratory. The system comprises three main components; (1) an optimised compact extraction system for recovery of radionuclides from the waste form; (2) an extraction test strip designed to recover the radionuclides from ...

The TopCount Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter is capable of analyzing radiolabeled microplate samples in a wide variety of formats using liquid and solid scintillation counting techniques. Quench is a common interference in scintillation counting which reduces the sample’s apparent activity. In most applications, the level of quench is constant; hence, it need not be considered...

in order to improving suitable growing condition for cultured species, knowledge of energy yieldingnutrients, especially information about carbohydrate requirement are of oriental river prawn isessential, since there is not exclusive studies about carbohydrate requirement about this species, hencean nutritional experiments was conduct in order to find out the optimum level of carbohydrate. five...

objective: many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. thus agronomic package must be always modified. this sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at dorud region of iran, during 2013. methods: the experimental design...

an investigation was carried out to reveal the changes in the concentration of soluble carbohydrates under tuber dormancy in food yam (dioscorea esculenta) tubers and in an economically important spice cum medicinal plant turmeric (curcuma longa) rhizomes under storage. harvested, fully matured tubers of yam and rhizomes of turmeric were stored in wooden boxes under the conditions of 28 ? 2?c t...

one of the most effective ways to propagate lilium is by using tissue culture techniques, preferably through bulblet production. in addition to the surviving percentage of lilium bulbs after transplantation, the small size of in vitro bulblets compared to commercial bulbs and bulblets‟ dormancy are the most important constraints to commercializing lilium micropropagation. different concentratio...
