A monoclonal antibody to human antihemophilic factor (AHF. factor VIII) was derived from BALB/c mouse spleen cells fused with P3x63Ag8 mouse plasmacytoma cells. This antibody. harvested from culture medium or ascites fluid. reacted with purified AHF and with plasmas from normal subjects or classic hemophiliacs, as measured by enzymelinked immuonsorbant assay (ELISA). but not with plasmas from p...

A skin autograft is described as the transfer of without aid a blood supply from donor location to recipient site. The epidermis and portions underlying dermis are transferred using split-thickness grafts (STSGs). whole layer harvested for full-thickness (FTSGs) used transplant. installation methods usage STSGs discussed above. Graft movement, which impedes neovascularization promotes fluid acc...

An association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease has been determined epidemiologically and by the detection of C. pneumoniae organisms in atherosclerotic lesions in both humans and animal models of atherosclerosis. Previously, it has been shown that C. pneumoniae is capable of replicating in cell types found within atheromatous lesions, viz., endothelial ce...

this study was done to evaluate the effects of harvest time on some factor of ‘ahmadaqaie’ pistachio nuts in rafsanjan. in three consecutive years (2009-2012) during three stages of friut ripening (40, 70 and 100 percent of hulling), fruit was harvested and physiological and biochemical parameters were measured. the experiments were conducted as randomized complete block design with compound an...

Dysregulation of TNF-α in lamina propria macrophages (LPM) is a feature of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). LPS-Induced-TNF-Alpha-Factor (LITAF) is a transcription factor that mediates TNF-α expression. To determine whether LITAF participates in the mediation of TNF-α expression in acutely inflamed colonic tissues, we first established the TNBS-induced colonic inflammation model in C57BL/6 mi...

OBJECTIVE : Strands of clot are frequently flushed out of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) during preparation for grafting, particularly those that are endoscopically harvested. However, saline distention at uncontrolled pressures increases graft thrombogenicity and the risk of early failure after coronary artery bypass grafting. The purpose of this prospective investigation was to define the incide...

Adipose-derived stem cells are a kind of mesenchymal stem cells which have a higher frequency in the adipose tissue and can be harvested by minimally invasive procedures. These cells are able to differentiate into other cells outside their lineage such as neuron, neurotrophic factor secreting cells and Schwann cells. Many of the identified neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic...

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a stromally derived modulator of epithelial cell proliferation and morphology. To better assess the potential role of HGF/SF in tumor progression we sought to identify factors and biological conditions which regulate its expression. We show that several adult human primary fibroblast cultures from breast and prostate produce HGF/SF. HGF expres...
