Isolation of chlamydia in irradiated and non-irradiated McCoy cells.

Isolation of chlamydia in irradiated and non-irradiated McCoy cells.

Specimens from eye and genital tract were cultured in parallel in irradiated and non-irradiated McCoy cells and the frequency of isolation of chlamydia using these culture methods was compared. There was a significant difference between the frequencies of isolation; irradiated McCoy cells produced a greater number of positive results.

Effect of high-speed centrifugation on the sensitivity of irradiated McCoy cell culture for the isolation of Chlamydia.

as well as Rickettsia prowazeki onto cell monolayers will increase the sensitivity of cell culture several fold. Using centrifugal force to facilitate the precipitation of infective particles onto irradiated McCoy cells, Gordon, Magruder, Quan, and Arm (1963) and Gordon, Dressler, and Quan (1967) developed a cell culture technique as an alternative to cultivation in the yolk sac of fertile eggs...

Isolation of TRIC agent (Chlamydia) in irradiated McCoy cell culture from endemic trachoma in field studies in Iran. Comparison with other laboratory tests for detection of Chlamydia.

Prompt cytomolecular identification of chromosome aberration in irradiated blood cells

Background: understanding the genomic alteration induced by ionizing radiation still remains to be a methodological challenge in genetic field. The energy released from this type of radiation can potentially causes structural and numerical alterations in lymphocytes, which in turn converts them into abnormal tumor cells. Chromosomal abnormalities associated with specific type of hematological m...

Effects of Gamma Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Sewage Sludge on Essential Oil Content and Constituents of Ocimum basilicum L.

Background: The increasing amount of sewage sludge (SS) and more legislative regulation of its disposal have stimulated the need for developing new technologies including gamma irradiation to recycle SS efficiently. Objective: To evaluate the effects of gamma irradiated and non-irradiated SS (SSGI and SSNI, respectively) on essential oil (EO) content and composition of Ocimum basilicum L. Me...
