Chemical Properties of Guinea - Pig Immunoglobulins y 1 G , y 2 G and yM
نویسنده
چکیده
The isolation of guinea-pig immunoglobulins yjG, y2G and yM are described and methods for separating the polypeptide chains of each examined. The molecular weights, extinction coefficients and carbohydrate and amino acid compositions of the immunoglobulins and their constituent chains have been analysed. The findings provide a basis for further studies attempting to relate structural differences to distinct biological properties of guinea-pig immunoglobulins.

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملEffect of Sodium Valproate on Ouabain-Induced Arrhythmia in Isolated Guinea-Pig Atria
Sodium valproate (SV), an antiepileptic drug has several mechanism of action. It inhibits voltage sensitive Na+ channels and reduces intracellular Na accumulation. These actions are similar to that of both phenytoin and carbamazepine. We have investigated the direct cardiac action of SV and its effects on ouabain-induced arrhythmia in isolated guinea-pig atria. The guinea-pig atrium was dissect...
متن کاملAntiviral effect of oxetanocin G against guinea pig cytomegalovirus infection in vitro and in vivo.
The antiviral activity of a new guanosine analog, 9-(2-deoxy-2-hydroxymethyl-beta-D-erythrooxetanosyl)guanine (OXT-G), against guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. In the plaque reduction assay, the median effective concentration (EC50) of OXT-G, ganciclovir (DHPG) and acyclovir (ACV) against GPCMV was 0.03, 6.4 and 52 micrograms/ml, respectively. The sele...
متن کاملBRONCHODILATORY AND AN TICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS OF Carum copticum ON ISOLATED GUINEA PIG TRACHEAL CHAINS
Carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnL aqueous extract (AE), 0.0 5 mL ethanol extract (EE), and 0.0 0 5 mL essential oil (EO) of Carum copticum and 1 rnL of a 5 mM solution of its main ingredient, thymol (T), in ...
متن کاملStructural differences among antibodies of different specificities.
Both the variety of specific serological reactions, and the chemical heterogeneity of the immune globulins suggest that differences in the specificity of antibodies are accompanied by appropriate differences in molecular structure. Speculation on the nature of relevant structural differences has led to two alternative assumptions: either antibody molecules of different specificity have identica...
