PREPARATION AND APPLICATIONS OF FLUORESCENT POLYGLUTARALDEHYDE IMMUNOMICROSPHERES

Aqueous glutaraldehyde has been polymerized under alkaline conditions in the presence of a surfactant to yield microspheres of varied diameters. Microbeads of a nominal 300 nm diameter, made fluorescent via fluoresceinisothiocyanate, were used as a carrier of rabbit anti-human red blood cell antibodies. Specific labeling of the human red blood cells as well as diagnostic use of these fluor...

Genetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein

Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...

Diagnosis of Intestinal Amoebiasis with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test

SUMMARY The results of direct stool examination in 102 watery and bloody diarrhea patients were compared with the presence of antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. Besides 22 healthy individuals included in this study as control group. It was found that 22 patients (21.5%) with a sera titre higher than 1/320 bad only 9 (8.8%) positive E. Histolytica ...

Electromagnetic Fields Radiated by Fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent Lamps

In the scope of the monIT Project, it was found that fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps are also important sources of radiation. More than increasing EMF levels in a particular environment, the radiation from ballasts may cause electronic interference with other devices. Two different lamps are analysed, in terms of both their radiated frequency spectrum and their compliance with Europea...
