Sphingolipid metabolism was examined in guinea-pig airway smooth muscle cells stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and 4β-phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate (PMA), as mitogens and bradykinin (BK) as non-mitogen. Stimulation of the cells by PMA and PDGF for 60 min. at 37°C induced the following changes in sphingolipid metabolites: in cells prelabeled with PH] palmitate, a 1.2 f...

Introduction: Binding a monoclonal antibody to tumor associated antigens is an effective method for cancer therapy because these agents can specifically target malignant cells, in fact monoclonal antibodies are effective agents for diagnosis, grading and treatment of different kinds of cancers. Methods: In this research, a new monoclonal antibody against colon cancer cells was prepared an...

introduction: using labeled peptides enjoys high importance in nuclear medicine. somatostatin analogs labeled with different radionuclide are vastly investigated for diagnosis or treatment of somatostatin receptor positive tumors. labeling somatostatin analogs with 99mtc as alternative of 111in needs doing different quality control method for determination of labeling yield and complex stabilit...

objective(s):transplantation quality improvement and reduction of cellular damage are important goals that are now considered by researchers. melatonin is secreted from the pineal gland and some organs such as testes. according to beneficial effects of melatonin (such as its antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties), researchers have proposed that the use of melatonin may improve transplantatio...

background: in addition to determining the exact tumor location and its geometric features, an increase of the effective tumor atomic number will enhances the chance in treating the tumoral cells under suitable radiation. in the present study, we assessed metrezoate-labeled gallium transmission in burkett lymphatic cells. materials and methods: human burkitt lymphatic cells were grown in cultur...
