Among the animal derived food products, contamination of poultry eggs, and egg shell surface is one major causes for foodborne salmonellosis in United States. As a means reducing pathogen transfer to internal contents, polysaccharide-based coatings containing antimicrobial phytochemicals could potentially serve as biocontrol strategy shelled products. The current study investigated efficacy fou...

Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were produced against chicken IgY purified from egg yolks. Purity of the IgY was established using immunoelectrophoresis and reducing and non-reducing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Five stable hybrid clones were characterized and Mabs, all belonging to IgG1 isotype, were found to bind to the IgY heavy chain in Western blots. These clones did not cross-react wi...

Background and objectives: Nigella sativa seeds possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, tranquillizer, chemoprotective and antineoplastic effects. They seeds are important nutritional flavoring agents and natural remedies for many aliments. We have investigated the protective effects of N. sativa seed fatty acids against doxorubicin. Methods: ...

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases in humans. in this disease, one of the responsible organisms is leishmania major, which is transmitted by sandfly vector. there are specific differences in biochemical profiles and metabolite pathways in logarithmic and stationary phases of leishmania parasites. in the present study, 1h nmr spectroscopy was used...

Nevirapine is a highly lipophilic and water insoluble non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Lymphoid tissue constitutes the major reservoir of HIV virus and infected cells in HIV-infected patients. Self-emulsifying drug delivery system, using long chain triglycerides, is a popular carrier of drugs due to their ability to transport lipophilic d...

sodium salt of n-acetyl-dl-tryptophan (at) and octanoic acid (caprylic acid ca) individually and in combination were studied as thermal stabilizer with different concentrations in heat treatment of human albumin solution. hplc protein profiles before pasteurization of albumin showed less than 1% polymer. in free stabilizer albumin solution during pasteurization visible clot was formed. but by u...

Cattle drinking water is a source of on-farm Escherichia coli O157:H7 transmission. The antimicrobial activities of disinfectants to control E. coli O157:H7 in on-farm drinking water are frequently neutralized by the presence of rumen content and manure that generally contaminate the drinking water. Different chemical treatments, including lactic acid, acidic calcium sulfate, chlorine, chlorine...
