Determination of streptokinase activity is usually accomplished through two assay methods: a) Clot lysis, b) Chromogenic substrate assay. In this study the biological activity of two streptokinase products, namely Streptase®, which is a native product and Heberkinasa®, which is a recombinant product, was determined against the third international reference standard using the two forementioned a...

nowadays, growing interest in the application of nanotechnology in biomedical and biotechnological fields has opened a new avenue to explore the nanoparticles-biological system interaction. indeed, a clear gap is still in the cytotoxic effect of nps on the biological systems. for this purpose, the interaction of the silica oxide nanoparticles (sio2-np) with pc12 cell line, as a model of nervous...

In the present study, two cell-based systems for assessing Yang and Yin activities were first time used to investigate effect of ursolic acid (UA) oleanolic (OA). The results indicated that while UA was only active in assay, OA produced activity assay. Yang/Yin UA/OA may be attributed their distinct molecular structures, which confer differential ability interact with mitochondrial membrane or ...

Objective(s): Here, a reporter cell line containing two reporter vectors were developed, in order to monitor the Human T-Lymphotropic Virus type1(HTLV-1) infectivity and the cell viability simultaneously. Materials and Methods: The reporter cell line was constructed by stably transfected baby hamster's kidney cell line (BHK-21), with the genomes expressing two different reporters in separate pl...

protection of biological systems against radiation damage is of paramount importance during accidental and unavoidable exposure to radiation. several physico-chemical and biological factors collectively contribute to the damage caused by radiation and are, therefore, targets for developing radioprotectors. chemicals capable of scavenging free radicals, relieving oxidative stress, promoting anti...
