THE ENZYME GLUTAMIC OXALACETIC ThANSAMINASE (GO-T), which serves as a catalyst for the reversible reaction of a-ketoglutarate and l-aspartate to produce oxalacetate and i-glutamate in biologic systems, has long been known to be a normal component of the serum proteins. The enzyme is widely distributed in animal and human tissues but its greatest activity has been found in homogenates of heart m...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a progressive and fatal disease characterised by clonal proliferation and accumulation of immunoglobulin producing cells that are terminally differentiated B cells. MM occurs when the plasma cells in the bone marrow are 10% or more than 10% population. The symptoms of MM include pain in the lower back region or in the ribs , recurrent infections, loss of appetite, nause...

this study was conducted to determine the electrophoretic pattern of serum protein in goats infected withbabesia ovis. serum total protein was calculated and serum electrophoresis from 15 goats naturally infectedwith b. ovis as well as same number of healthy goats was performed. microscopic examination of giemsastained peripheral blood smears revealed b. ovis infection. the parasitological diag...

Hexagonal pattern formation in the pigment structure of electrophoretic image displays (EPIDs) is measured in samples with a high concentration of free charge. In this article we will explain which phenomenon is at the origin of the pattern formation.

Fatty acids in a 30,000 to 100,000 x g ultracentrifugal pellet from pituitary glands, liver, and muscle were found to be responsible for an observed alteration of the disc electrophoretic behavior of a number of proteins. Three principal fatty acids were found in the pellet (oleic, palmitic, and stearic) and, of the three, oleic was the most effective in causing the alteration. When analyzed el...

Plasma fibronectin was depleted within 15 min following sublethal burn, followed by partial recovery at 8 h and complete restoration by 24 h in anesthetized rats. Radiolabeled 75Se-plasma fibronectin, injected intravenously before burn, was rapidly sequestered in burn skin as well as the liver. Fibronectin levels at 2 h postburn as detected by immunoassay vs. 75Se-plasma fibronectin indicated t...

In order to characterize fusion products from yeast protoplasts and their segregants, with important features to the wine making industry, electrophoretic karyotyping and RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) were utilized. Electrophoretic karyotyping was performed by the CHEF (“contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis”) method, which allowed the detection of chromosomal ban...

To ascertain the constituents of serum proteins in disordered organs, we evaluated these proteins by the zone electrophoresis method. The medium used was cellulose acetate paper with Barbital (veronal) at pH 8.6 as the buffer. Disease conditions studied were cirrhosis, kwashiorkor, nephritic syndrome, post hepatic obstruction, acute glomerulonephritis, multiple myeloma and rheumatoid arthritis....
