The binding reaction between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and concanavalin A (Con A) has been studied. CEA, prepared from liver métastasesin patients with carcinoma of the colon, was tested against Con A for precipitation. By using the techniques of immunodiffusion and counlerelectrophoresis, a precipitate line between CEA and Con A was observed, which was different from that seen between ei...

INTRODUCTION Irrigants play an essential role in the successful debridement and disinfection of pulp space. Various combination of irrigants used during root canal treatment enhance their efficacy, but some form precipitates which affects the diffusion of intracanal medicaments and the seal of the obturated root canal. AIM To evaluate the combination of various irrigants whether it forms the ...

Abstract Understanding the reactions taking place in hematite-oxalic acid system is important order to clean iron oxides from filters and remove mineral concentrates. Previous studies reported formation of an unwanted solid phase during this process. The objective current work, therefore, was visualize rationalize dissolution steps hematite–oxalic reaction by combining density functional theory...

Immunization against the protozoan Theileria parva by infection and treatment has proved to be very efficient for the control of East Coast fever, an acute and often-fatal lymphoproliferative tick-borne disease of cattle in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The immunizing dose of live T. parva sporozoites used in this method is usually determined by in vivo titration. An alternative in vitr...

BACKGROUND Interaction between local anesthetic solution, lidocaine hydrochloride (with and without adrenaline), and root canal irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), and chlorhexidine (CHX) has not been studied earlier. Hence, the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the chemical interaction between 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (with a...

Incorporation of first row transition metals into stable surface precipitates can play an important role in reducing the bioavailability of these metals in neutral and alkaline soils. Organic coatings may interfere with this sorption mechanism by changing the surface characteristics and by masking the mineral surface from metal sorptives. In this study, kinetic sorption and desorption experimen...

A comprehensive set of models of precipitate formation during steel processing has been developed. In this work, it is applied to investigate Nb(C,N) precipitation in thin microalloyed steel slabs during continuous casting, reheating in a tunnel furnace and water quenching relative to the position with the slab and alloy content. The models include a transient heat-conduction and solidification...
