Salmonella typhi 0:9,12 Polysaccharide-Protein Conjugates: Characterization and Immunoreactivity with Pooled and Individual Normal Human Sera, Sera from Patients with Paratyphoid A and B and Typhoid Fever, and Animal Sera

Polysaccharide of 0:9,12 specificity purified from SalmoneUla typhi was conijugated to tetanus toxoid or bovine serum albumin in order to obtain defined antigenic material that would contain 0 chain free of other S. typhi antigens and that would be suitable for characterizing host humoral response to only S. typhi 0-chain antigens. These artificial conjugates were strongly reactive in immunodot...

Chemical characterization of volatile organic compounds on animal farms

More than one hundred volatile organic substances were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in the indoor and outdoor air, stable and farm road dust and farm soil samples from two pig and cattle farms in the South Moravian Region. Volatile fatty acids (acetic, propanoic, butanoic and pentanoic acids) and their esters dominated along with aldehydes (butanal, pentanal an...

High concentrations of antibodies to xanthine oxidase in human and animal sera. Molecular characterization.

The widespread occurrence of antibodies (IgG) specific to xanthine oxidase in both normal (nonimmune) human and animal sera, and in antisera raised against a diversity of unrelated antigens is described. A study of sera from 81 humans revealed that xanthine oxidase-specific IgG represents a high proportion (1-8%) of total IgG. No obvious correlation to pathological events or symptoms of disease...

Binding Studies of Lamotrigine with Sera of Different Animal Species

Purpose: The serum protein-binding characteristic of lamotrigine with sera from various species (horse, rat, rabbit and goat) was studied at different dielectric constants and temperatures to obtain an insight into the mechanism of interaction, evaluate the effect of dielectric constant on binding affinity, and to determine the effect of species variation on drug plasma-protein interaction. Met...
