Taste Sensitivity to P.T.C. and Colour Blindness Among the Brahmin of Sundarnagar, Himachal Pradesh
نویسنده
چکیده
A study of taste sensitivity of P.T.C. and colour blindness among the Brahmins of Sundarnagar of Himachal Pradesh was done. The t gene frequency was found to be 0.4391 in the total population, and that of colourblindness 3.093 % among the males. The results have been compared with the populations of Himalayan region of India. The trait of colour blindness among the populations of Himalayan region has been looked into, in view of the selection relaxation

متن کاملDevelopment of OMP based indirect ELISA to gauge the antibody titers in bovines against Pasteurella multocida
Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) is an important pathogen of various domestic animals. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) play a major role in pathogenesis and immunogenicity of P. multocida. The aim of the study was to develop indirect enzyme linked immuno sorbant assay (ELISA) based on OMPs to ascertain the antibody titers in animals post-infection or to gauge the potency of vaccine. The ...
