echinococcosis is one of the world’s relevant zoonoses, affecting both humans and their domestic animals and caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the dog tapeworm, echinococcus granulosus. in the present study, twenty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 5. each mouse in groups 1, 2 and 3 was immunized with 100 μg of hydatid cyst fluid protein, protoscolex and adult worms of...

TRA98 is a rat monoclonal antibody (mAb) which recognizes specific antigen in the nuclei of germ cells. mAb has been used to understand mechanism cell development and differentiation many studies. In mice, recognized by or GCNA1 reported be GCNA gene product, but despite demonstration immunoreactivity this human testis sperm 1997, humans remains unknown, as date. To identify TRA98, comprehensiv...

In previous studies we found expression of the protein colligin 2 (heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), SERPINH1) in glioma neovasculature while not in normal brain tissue. Generally, the regulation of heat shock gene expression in eukaryotes is mediated by heat shock factors (HSF). In mammals, three heat shock transcription factors, HSF-1, -2, and -4, have been isolated. Here we investigated the rel...

We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

protein tyrosine phosphatases (ptpases) regulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of target proteins in volved in several biological activities including cell proliferation and transformation. protein tyrosine phosphatase e (ptpe) contains duplicated ptpase-like domains and a short extracellular region. us ing the fluorescence in situ hybridization method, the gene encoding ptpe (locus symbol ptpre...

Abstract Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by autosomal recessive variants in phenylalanine hydroxylase ( PAH ), leading to systemic accumulation of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) that may reach neurotoxic levels. A homozygous Pah - R261Q mouse, with a highly prevalent misfolding variant humans, reveals the expected hepatic activity decrease, L-Phe increase, L-tyrosine and L-tryptophan tetrahydrobiopter...

In humans, the cobalamin (Cbl) -binding protein transcobalamin (TC) transports Cbl from the intestine and into all the cells of the body, whereas the glycoprotein haptocorrin (HC), which is present in both blood and exocrine secretions, is able to bind also corrinoids other than Cbl. The aim of this study is to explore the expression of the Cbl-binding protein HC as well as TC in mice. BLAST an...

Humans draw on their stereotypic beliefs to make assumptions about others. Even though prior research has shown that individuals respond socially to media, there is little evidence with regards to learners stereotyping and categorizing pedagogical agents. This study investigated whether learners stereotype a pedagogical agent as being knowledgeable or not knowledgeable and how this acuity influ...

conclusions the results of the study show no significant association between norepinephrine transporter polymorphism scl6a2 and adhd. results the percentages of adhd subtypes for combined, inattentive, and hyperactive/impulsive were 72.2%, 17.2%, and 11.9%, respectively. there was no significant association between norepinephrine transporter polymorphism and adhd (p = 0.81). moreover, no signif...
