These may represent a relevant alternative as ligands in affinity and pseudo-29 affinity chromatographic processes for plasmid DNA (pDNA) purification. In the 30 present study, berenil (a DNA intercalator used an anti-trypanosomal agent in veterinary 31 applications) was tested as a ligan...

Cataract Confusion Clarified

Anatomy The canine lens is suspended in the eye by zonular ligaments which arise from the ciliary epithelium and attach to the lens at the equator. The lens capsule is an elastic basement membrane which encloses the underlying anterior epithelium and lens fibers. The size of the lens is approximately 7mm in the anterior/posterior aspect and 10mm as the equatorial diameter. The anterior lens cap...
