  Manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies to group A erythrocytes, HLA and different human cell floor antigens-new instruments for genetic evaluation.       Antibody-secreting hybrid cells have been derived from a fusion between mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells from a mouse immunized with membrane from human tonsil lymphocyte preparations. Hybrids secreting antiour bodies to cell floor antigens have been detected…

Procysteine stimulates expression of key anabolic components and reduces plantaris atrophy in alcohol-fed rats.       BACKGROUND Lengthy-term alcohol ingestion could produce extreme oxidant stress and result in skeletal muscle dysfunction. Rising proof has recommended that members of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) household of cytokines play numerous roles within the regulation of skeletal muscle mass….

Improved strategies to measure finish merchandise of nitric oxide in organic fluids: nitrite, nitrate, and S-nitrosothiols.   The purpose of this examine was to check and enhance commonplace strategies to find out nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-) and S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) ranges in cell tradition supernatants, sera, and urine. We modified the standard Griess response by changing sulfanilamide with dapsone…

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain response detection of BK virus utilizing labeled primers.     BACKGROUND BK virus infections amongst immunocompromised sufferers are related to illness of the kidney or urinary bladder. Excessive viral hundreds, decided by quantitative polymerase chain response (PCR), have been correlated with medical illness. OBJECTIVE To develop and consider a novel technique for real-time PCR detection and quantification of BK virus utilizing…

Serotype antigens of Neisseria meningitidis and a proposed scheme for designation of serotypes.       Neisseria meningitidis serogroups B and C have been initially subdivided into serotypes by means of two totally different classification programs based mostly upon type-specific bactericidal antibodies and immunoprecipitation in agar gels, respectively. The serotype specificities have been later discovered to be related to totally different main outer membrane proteins and…

A one-year trial of lamivudine for power hepatitis B. Asia Hepatitis Lamivudine Research Group.         METHODS In preliminary trials, lamivudine, an oral nucleoside analogue, has proven promise for the remedy of power hepatitis B. We carried out a one-year, double-blind trial of lamivudine in 358 Chinese language sufferers with power hepatitis B….
