Origin of ghost cell in Coats' disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
A morphological study of Coats' disease was performed with light and electron microscopy. The choroid was intact throughout. The pigment epithelial cells showed proliferative changes, being thickened in two or three rows. The transitional form of ghost cell was observed in contact with the pigment epithelial layer, then migrated toward the subretinal space, and finally invaded the detached retina. It was concluded that the origin of ghost cell in Coats' disease was the pigment epithelium.

The Protein Coats or "ghosts" of Coliphage T2
A method of preparing the protein coats or ghosts of phage T2 is described along with proof that the lytic action is a property of the ghost. An assay based on the lytic action toward host cells has been developed which permits a rapid evaluation of the number of ghosts with a reliability of +/-15 per cent. The antigenic and certain physicochemical properties of the ghost have been determined.
متن کاملT H E Protein Coats or "ghosts" of Coli Phage T2 Ii. the Biological Func~ons* by Roger M. Herriott and James L. Barlow$,§
Phage coats or ghosts, composed entirely of protein, appear to be responsible for protecting the phage nucleic acid from degradation by factors in the surrounding medium; attachment of the virus to its susceptible host; and delivering the nucleic acid to the interior of the cell. In addition, the ghosts have a number of biological actions which resemble similar actions of the patent phage. Thus...

Background: Children affected with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for severe morbidity and mortality, especially during the first 3-5 years of life. It is suggested that early treatment can improve the condition. The aim of this pilot study was to estimate the incidence of hemoglobin S (HbS) by umbilical cord blood screening in Khorramshahr and Abadan cities in southwest of Ira...

For the purpose to clarify further the residual catalase in the blood cell ghost, the ghost has been applied to Cyanogum and starch block electrophoresis and the results are briefly summarized as follows. 1. It has been demonstrated that after Cyanogum electrophoresis of the ghost after several washings, bubbling due to enzymatic reaction of catalase occurs near the points of origin, when the p...
