Examination of the latex fixation test using sulfated mucopolysaccharides

Detection of rotavirus by Latex Agglutination Test (Rotales); Comparison with Electron Microscopy and Complement Fixation Test

The Sulfated Mucopolysaccharides Human Umbilical Cord*

Umbilical cord was shown to contain chondroitin sulfate B and a small amount of glucosamine-containing sulfated mucopolysaccharide, in addition to hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate C. All of the hyaluronic acid and part of the chondroitin sulfate C could be extracted directly with dilute sodium chloride; the rest of the chondroitin sulfate C and the chondroitin sulfate B were released onl...

Distribution of sulfated mucopolysaccharides in invertebrates.

The sulfated mucopolysaccharide composition of 22 species of invertebrates belonging to the phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca, Annelida, Tunicata, Echinodermata, Coelenterata, and Porifera was analyzed. It is shown that all the species contain variable amounts of one or more types of sulfated mocopolysaccharides, most of which similar to the ones found in vertebrates. It is shown also that each specie...

A latex fixation test using British latex and bovine gamma globulin.

A British polystyrene latex-bovine gamma globulin fixation test which can be used for serum titrations is described. It is technically easier to perform than the latex fixation test of Singer and Plotz (1956) and appears to be equally sensitive. There was agreement with a sensitized sheep cell agglutination test in 264 of 300 cases (88%).

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...
