Production of Macroglobulins in Vitro and a Study of Their Cellular Origin

چکیده
By DOROTHEA ZUCKER-FRANKLIN, EDWARD C. FRANKLIN AND NORMAN S. COOPER T HE ROLE of the plasma cell in the synthesis of y-globulin has been readily accepted because of the excellent correlation found between the number of plasma cells in tissues, the ability to form antibodies, and the level of y-globulin in the serum. Thus, there is a lack of plasma cells in agammaglobulinemia, an increase in plasma cells in reactive hypergammaglobulinemia, and a proliferation of abnormal plasma cells associated with the para-

متن کاملDesign of a humanized anti vascular endothelial growth factor nanobody and evaluation of its in vitro function
Objective(s): Nanobodies, the single domain antigen binding fragments of heavy chain-only antibodies occurring naturally in camelid sera, are the smallest intact antigen binding entities. Their minimal size assists in reaching otherwise largely inaccessible regions of antigens. However, their camelid origin raises a possible concern of immunogenicity when used for human therapy. Humanization is...
متن کاملEvolution of viruses and cells: do we need a fourth domain of life to explain the origin of eukaryotes?
The recent discovery of diverse very large viruses, such as the mimivirus, has fostered a profusion of hypotheses positing that these viruses define a new domain of life together with the three cellular ones (Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya). It has also been speculated that they have played a key role in the origin of eukaryotes as donors of important genes or even as the structures at the origi...
متن کاملThe Role of Probiotics in Cancer Treatment: Emphasis on their In Vivo and In Vitro Anti-metastatic Effects
Probiotics are defined as live bacteria and yeasts that exert beneficial effects for health. Among their various effects, anti-cancer properties have been highlighted in recent years. Such effects include suppression of the growth of microbiota implicated in the production of mutagens and carcinogens, alteration in carcinogen metabolism and protection of DNA from oxidative damage as well as reg...
متن کاملComparing Chemical Composition and Digestibility of Pedicels and Palm Leaves as a Source for Livestock Feeding by in vitro and in situ Techniques
The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility, and to estimate the in vitro fermentation parameters of palm leaves and pedicels from Ghars palm variety. A rumen in situ technique was also used to examine In vitro Digestible Dry Matter (IDDM), In vitro Digestible Crude Protein (IDCP), and In vitro Digestible Neutral Fiber (IDNF), and rate and extent o...
