Western blot analysis to illustrate relative control levels of thelac andara promoters inEscherichia coli

Relative expression of fibroblast growth factor-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with bacterial meningitis; A Western Blot analysis

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, thereby involving the arachnoid, the pia and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is divided into viral and bacterial meningitis. For different reasons the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is very important. The examination of CSF samples may provide information about causative microorganism. The sensivity of ...

Western blot analysis in patients with hypocaeruloplasminaemia.

Inherited copper toxic disease, Wilson's disease, is an autosomal recessive disorder arising from a defect in biliary copper excretion. Although there are several pathognomonic clinical features, such a multisystem disease can be difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages of copper toxicity. Even measurements of serum copper and caeruloplasmin, the major copper-transporting protein...

Western blot analysis of HDAC3, HDAC2 and actin protein levels using hippocampal whole cell lysates from control and Hdac3 cKO

Western Blot Analysis of Sera from Leishmania major-Infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice

In Leishmania (L.) major-infected BALB/c mice Th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas C57BL/6-infected mice mount a Th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. Th2 response correlates with IgG1 whereas, Th1 response supports switching to IgG2a subclasses. Since IgG isotype-dominated response depends on different CD4 + T cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...

Understanding the Western Blot

Inquiries about various issues relating to Western blot (WB) testing are frequently posted to the Lyme disease discussion groups on the Internet. Among the most commonly asked questions are: What laboratory techniques are used to carry out the assay? What exactly is being measured? What is a “band”? How are the results interpreted? What are the CDC criteria for a “positive” test? Although some ...
