Although patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer rarely live more than a year, the disease progresses slowly. Pancreatic cancer can take up to two decades to become symptomatic, and for some of that time it’s potentially curable with surgery. Unfortunately, patients generally aren’t diagnosed with asymptomatic disease—which has spurred a long, frustrating effort to identify blood markers that...

In this study, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) were combined to investigate the adsorption behavior of two platelet adhesion-related blood proteins, human serum albumin (HSA) and human serum fibrinogen (HSF), on two polysaccharide materials used for hemodialysis membrane applications: regenerated cellulose and cellulose acetate...

Although the buffer action of the blood of man has received most thoroughgoing analysis (Van Slyke, 1921) the similar phenomena in the body fluids of invertebrates have been described only in such a way as to define the magnitude of the problem without at all adequately contributing to its solution. Quagliariello (1916) showed that relatively large amounts of acid or alkali must be added to the...

edwardsiella tarda is a versatile pathogen that could survive in different environmental conditions and infect economically important fish species. the whole cell antigenic proteins were extracted from e. tarda and assessed via western blot using anti e. trada rohu and anti e. trada rabbit serum. two strong reacted proteins with antibodies were recovered viz 61 kda and 47 kda from sds page gels...
