Red cell enzyme variant recently detected in Japan

Genome Sequence of Rickettsia tamurae, a Recently Detected Human Pathogen in Japan

Rickettsia tamurae is a member of the spotted fever group rickettsiae, which was reported in 2011 to cause human infections in Japan. We report the draft genome sequence of R. tamurae strain AT-1(T), isolated from Amblyomma testudinarium ticks.

Pathogenicity Study and Restriction Enzyme Profile of a Recently Isolated Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Iran

The pathogenicity of a recent isolate of Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), IR499, isolated from a nonvaccinated flock with 17.5 % mortality rate in susceptible SPF chickens, chickens embryos and broilers was discussed. The molecular characterization of the virus based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern was also investigated. The mortality rates were 85% and 22%...

Frequencies and Specificities of “Enzyme-Only” Detected Erythrocyte Alloantibodies in Patients Hospitalized in Austria: Is an Enzyme Test Required for Routine Red Blood Cell Antibody Screening?

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies and specificities of "enzyme-only" detected red blood cell (RBC) alloantibodies in the routine antibody screening and antibody identification in patients hospitalized in Austria. Routine blood samples of 2420 patients were investigated. The antibody screening was performed with a 3-cell panel in the low-ionic strength saline- (LI...

Haemoglobin and red cell enzyme changes in juvenile myeloid leukaemia.

The switchover from foetal to adult haemoglobin synthesis, which is normally complete by the end of the first year of life, is accompanied by marked changes in the red cell enzyme pattern. In particular, the level of carbonic anhydrase, which is very low in cord blood, rapidly increases during the first year of life to become the most abundant of the red cell nonhaemoglobin proteins. There have...
