Sarcoma 180 was 100 per cent fatal in BALB and DBA mice. In the Rockland strain there was a 17 per cent spontaneous expulsion. In these, subsequent implantations, up to 11 times, yielded practically 100 per cent immune animals. Fifteen out of 47 immunized mice (3~ per cent) which have (tied so far, presented a condition consisting of marked hepatosplenomegaly and lymph node enlargement with at ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Sensitivity of Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) method is known to be low for liquefied sputum smears. Information on the ZN sensitivity for centrifuged deposit smears is not known. This study was carried out to determine the sensitivity of ZN method for acid fast bacilli (AFB) in centrifuged deposit smears and liquefied sputum smears made from sputum samples transported in cetyl-pyri...

Eggs of the indigenous laying hens are preferred by consumers to those obtained from commercial breeds. The present study aimed to compare the fatty acid (FA) composition of yolk lipids of indigenous eggs (Indigenous; n = 20) and conventional eggs (Conventional; n = 20). Indigenous and conventional eggs were collected from Lori layer hens reared under free-range condition and an commercial farm...
