a fast, accurate, sensitive, selective and reliable method using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the determination of finasteride in human plasma. after protein precipitation with perchloric acid, satisfactory separation was achieved on a zorbax eclipse® c8 analytical column using ...

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 S...

After storage of whole blood at either 4 or 20 degrees C, results for glycosylated hemoglobin by ion-exchange chromatography ("high-performance" liquid and mini-column chromatography), thiobarbituric acid colorimetry, and affinity chromatography were compared. At 4 degrees C, all methods gave acceptable results for samples stored for as long as a week. At 20 degrees C, the colorimetric and affi...

Background: Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (BZDH) is encoded by the xylC that catalyzes the conversion of benzaldehyde into benzoate in many pathways such as toluene degradation. Objectives: In this study, the xylC gene from Rhodococcus ruber UKMP-5M was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized.Materials and Methods: The xylC was amplified and cloned in E. coli. The re...

A blocker of postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors was isolated from venom of the Eastern green mamba Dendroaspis angusticeps, by gel filtration, ion-exchange and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The isolated component blocks neuromuscular transmission and responses to exogenously applied acetylcholine in isolated chick biventer cervices preparations. These results suggest t...

An analysis is made of some of the practical problems of ion-exchange chromatography. A comparison is made with gas—liquid chromatography and this leads to the suggestion that improvements can be made in the monitoring system and in the selection of eluents for specific separations. The need for a general purpose gradient elution apparatus is stressed. Some theoretical aspects of several factor...
