Monoclonal antibodies were prepared from mice and rats immunized with Friend leukaemia virus and BALB/c xenotropic virus. By immunoprecipitation of 125I-labelled and [35S]methionine-labelled viruses and by protein blotting, ten antibodies were found to react with the viral components p12, p15, p30, gp70 and p15E/p12E. A dot-immunobinding assay was found to be a reliable method to type the antib...

background: the witches’ broom disease of lime caused by candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia, is the most devastating disease of acidian lime in the southern parts of iran. objectives: at present, no effient method has been developed for controlling the disease, therefore quarantine approaches such as early detection and subsequent eradication of infected trees is very important. toward this ...

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the Aino virus were prepared, and the neutralizing epitopes of the virus were defined by competitive binding assay. Seven continuous and overlapping neutralizing epitopes existed on the G1 glycoprotein of the Aino virus. Two antigenic domains were identified and were designated I and II, with domain II consisting of six epitopes. Dot immunobindi...

Candidiasis is the commonest fungal disease in human being. The causative agent of the disease is Candida albicans and nonalbicans Candida. Candida has 163 acknowledged anamorphic species, present on the different habitat out of which following species are C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilosis, C. lusitaniae, C. kefyr, C. rugosa, C. dubliniensis ...

Contact with the soil, fomites or hands contaminated with the animals’ feces favors accidental human infection either through ingestion of Toxocara canis embryonic eggs, resulting in Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) syndrome (Coelho et al., 2001), or through percutaneous penetration of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma braziliense infective larvae, causing Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) Syndrome (...
