Mucoid enteropathy/epizootic rabbit enteropathy is a disease of domestic European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) that has been recognized for nearly 50 years but still not well understood. Morbidity and mortality are high can lead to large losses in production facilities. Recently, the Colorado Wild Rabbit Foundation identified four cases with similar presentations two species cottontail (Sylv...

background: the ability of polyclonal antibodies to react with many epitopes of an antigen makes them valuable reagents in research and diagnosis. the aim of this study was purification of mouse igg2a and production of polyclonal antibody against purified mouse igg2a subclass. materials and methods: mouse igg2a was purified by proa affinity. verification method of the purified antibody was sds-...

Cyclosporin A (CyA), prednisolone (Pred) and sirolimus (Sir) inhibit lymphocyte proliferation at the cytokine transcription (CyA and Pred) or signal transduction (Sir) levels. Their double and triple interactions were studied on lectin-induced proliferation of whole blood lymphocytes (WBLP) from male and female humans, rabbits and rats. Isobols along with the Universal Response Surface Approach...

With the aim of the production of human factor VIII antigen and its corresponding antibody an epitope coding fragment of the light-chain of hFVIII, fused to a His6-tag, was isolated and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The over-expressed hFVIII-epitope containing peptide was confirmed by its reaction with a rabbit serum directed against native hFVIII as well as antiHis6-tag antibody. An expr...

background: cross-contamination between cells is a usual mistake at cell culture laboratories and cell banks worldwide. mrc5 diploid cell and rk-13, vero and hela continuous cell lines are used in different stages of human viral vaccines propagation at razi vaccine and serum research institute of iran. however diploid and continuous cells are propagated at separated cell culture laboratory and ...

leptospirosis is one of the major zoonotic diseases worldwide. this disease is caused by various serovars of leptospira interrogans sensu lato infection. although the rabbits are known to be one of the reservoirs and transmission sources of leptospirosis, but the status of this infection in rabbits in iran remains unknown, so this survey was conducted to evaluate the seroprevalence of leptos...

considering the importance of bone augmentation prior to implant placement in order to obtain adequate bone quality and quantity, many studies have been conducted to evaluate different techniques and materials regarding new bone formation. in this study, we investigated the bone healing capacity of two different materials deproteinized bovine bone mineral (dbbm with the trade name of bio-oss) a...

melatonin, a pineal gland secreted hormone has different effects on mammalian physiology. recently, specific receptors of melatonine have been found in the central nervous system and spinal cord of rabbits. l - theanine is a unique amino acid in the tea plant ( camellia sinensis ). the effects of this amino acid is based on increasing gaba and dopamine levels in the brain and has a weak effect ...

A cell-free preparation isolated from wheat embryos has been used successfully for the analysis of protein chain initiation with natural mRNA’s primarily of plant viral origin [l-4]. A tacit assumption in these studies has been that the ribosome-mRNA attachment reaction with the viral RNA’s was equivalent to the reaction with cellular mRNA’s. In the present communication we test this assumption...

Scrum of hypercholesterolemic rabbits, when pulsated for 72 hours at pressures of 300 mm. Hg/0 mm. Hg with a pulse rate of 80 produced a birefringent deposit in excised pieces of rabbit aortae. Scrum from normal rabbits did not produce this deposit. The active component or components responsible for this deposit are in the |8-lipoprotein fraction of serum. The birefringent material is detectabl...
