Abstract:

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was purified to homogeneity from human seminal plasma by ion-exchange chromatography on a CM-Sephadex C-50 and by gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-200 column. A single 33-kDa protein band appeared in SDS-PAGE. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the purified protein produced a single peak, while isoelectric focusing demonstrated the presence of five different isoforms of this protein. The immunoreactivity of the purified PSA was checked by Western blotting. This simple two-step method can be used for a large-scale preparation of the purified PSA for the clinical tests and also for further investigative studies on the biological properties of this protein.

A NOVEL METHOD OF PURIFICATION OF SPECIFIC HYDATID CYST ANTIGEN

Hydatid cyst fluid has been used as a source of antigen for the serodiagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection. Due to cross-reactions with antigens shared by other helminthes, the specific antigen from hydatid cyst fluid was purified by many workers. We used a relatively simple technique for purification of specific antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid. Isopycnic ultracentrifugation w...

Age Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men

Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

a case study of the two translators of the holy quran: tahereh saffarzadeh and laleh bakhtiar

بطورکلی، کتاب های مقدسی همچون قران کریم را خوانندگان میتوان مطابق با پیش زمینه های مختلفی که درند درک کنند. محقق تلاش کرده نقش پیش زمینه اجتماعی-فرهنگی را روی ایدئولوژی های مترجمین زن و در نتیجه تاثیراتش را روی خواندن و ترجمه آیات قرآن کریم بررسی کند و ببیند که آیا تفاوت های واژگانی عمده ای میان این مترجمین وجود دارد یا نه. به این منظور، ترجمه 24 آیه از آیات قرآن کریم مورد بررسی مقایسه ای قرار ...

Investigation of the relationship between prostate specific antigen doubling time and the severity of a malignant tumor of the prostate

Background: Prostate cancer has been reported as a worldwide important kind of cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality among men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level is one of the most important markers of prostate cancer diagnosis. While PSA level helps predict the risk of prostate cancer development, researchers still looking for ways to increase the accura...

Preparation of prostate specific antigen standards for immunoradiometric assay

Background: Immunoradiometric assay is one of the most common and precise methods for determination of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in clinical laboratories. Usual use of human serum in routine assays has many disadvantages such as easy contamination and precipitation, instability and unavailability. Thus in order to avoid these problems the artificial matrix was used which acts sim...
