Scavenger receptors on sinusoidal liver endothelial cells (SECs) eliminate potentially harmful modified proteins circulating through the liver. It was shown recently that aldehyde-modified proteins bind to scavenger receptors and are associated with the development/progression of alcoholic liver diseases. For these studies, rat livers were perfused in situ with 125I-formaldehyde-bovine serum al...

The class A scavenger receptors are phagocytic pattern recognition receptors that are well represented in vertebrate genomes. The high level of conservation among vertebrates implies that this is an evolutionarily conserved family of receptors and indicates the presence of a common ancestral gene. The identity of this ancestral gene is not clear, as it appears that many of the domains of the sc...

1- introductionthe presence of synthetic dyes in water and wastewater causes toxicity to aquatic life and bacteria and changes the brightness, color and clarity of the water. common treatment methods for these compounds are not capable of complete mineralization. therefore, new methods are needed to maximize the efficiency. among them, advanced oxygen processes (aops), especially photocatalytic...

Title: “Development of New Monoclonal Antibodies To Identify Novel Scavenger Receptors On Murine

A range of linear conjugated polymers is reported that promote simultaneous photocatalytic CO2 reduction and proton with a sacrificial hole-scavenger.

This paper describes the UMass Lowell entry into the Scavenger Hunt Competition at the AAAI-2005 Robot Competition and Exhibition. The scavenger hunt entry was built on top of the system we have been developing for urban search and rescue (USAR) research. The system includes new behaviors and behavior sequencing, vision algorithms and sensor processing algorithms, all used to locate the objects...

Wheat bran was destarched and deproteinated by a-amylase, protease and amyloglucosidase successively, and further hydrolyzed using Bacillus subtilis xylanases. The yield of enzymatic hydrolysates from wheat bran (EHWB) was 1.84 %. The total phenolics were 0.3712 g of ferulic acid equivalents per gram of EHWB. The antioxidant potency of EHWB was evaluated using different assays, such as iron ion...

A comparison of the receptor-mediated interaction of malondialdehyde-low density lipoprotein and maleyl-albumin has been examined in human monocytes during differentiation in vitro. The recognition of both ligands by the scavenger receptor of these cells has been confirmed. We now report that human monocytes express a second cellular surface receptor for maleyl-albumin that is distinct from the...
