Utility of serum thymidine kinase activity measurements for cases of bovine leukosis with difficult clinical diagnoses.
This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of serum thymidine kinase (TK) activity for diagnosing bovine leukosis cases for which clinical diagnosis was difficult ('BL with difficult diagnosis'). Median TK activity values in 24 'BL with difficult diagnosis' and 36 cattle for which BL was clinically confirmed by cytology findings of enlarged superficial lymph nodes ('clinically confirmed BL') ...
متن کاملThymidine kinase as a negative selectable marker in Leishmania major.
We have tested whether the thymidine kinase gene of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1 tk) could function as a negative selectable marker in Leishmania major. Several drug resistance markers have been used for positive selection of transfected DNA in trypanosomatids, including neomycin phosphotransferase (NEO; refs. 1-4) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HYG; refs. 5,6). Negative selectable markers...
متن کاملSerum thymidine kinase activity in dogs with malignant lymphoma: a potent marker for prognosis and monitoring the disease.
Serum thymidine kinase (sTK) activity was evaluated as a tumor marker for canine malignant lymphoma (ML). The objective was to investigate if sTK, as in humans, could be used as a prognostic marker for survival time in dogs with ML and if sTK could identify early signs of progression of disease in treated dogs. Serum samples from 52 dogs with ML were tested for initial TK activity. Samples from...
متن کاملSerum deoxythymidine kinase as a progressive marker of hematological malignancy.
The levels of serum deoxythymidine kinase (s-dTK) were investigated for 127 patients suffering hematological malignancy by a sensitive method using [125I]-iododeoxy-uridine as substrate. It was found that the deoxythymidine kinase activity in the sera of these patients was higher than the normal levels in adults. It was also found that the levels of s-dTK in the progressive stage were much high...
متن کاملProducing Gelatin Nanoparticles as Delivery System for Bovine Serum Albumin
Background: Progress in the field of biology and biochemistry has led to the discovery of numerous bioactive peptides and proteins in the last few decades. Delivery of therapeutic proteins/peptides has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. Methods: In this study, a two-step desolvation method was used to produce biodegradable hydrophilic gelatin nanoparticles (GNP) as a d...
