BACKGROUND There are numerous potential sources of interference in immunoassays. Our aim was to identify the blood component that causes negative interference in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) immunoassays based on antibodies against the central part of cTnI. METHODS We isolated an interfering factor (IF) from a sample with low recovery of added cTnI, using several consecutive purification steps: ...

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a severe disease that is caused by maternal alloantibodies generated during pregnancy or at delivery as a result of incompatibility between maternal and fetal human platelet antigens (HPAs) inherited from the father. Antibody-mediated immune suppression using anti-HPA-1a immunoglobulins is thought to be able to prevent FNAIT caused by HP...

The common name for Viburnum opulus in Türkiye is "gilaburu". Despite its bitter and acrid taste, it consumed as fruit juice or products such jam, marmalade, jelly. They have antioxidant properties they contain high levels of phytocompounds anthocyanin, phenolics, triterpenoids vitamins. In the study, fruits V. grown Sivas, Kayseri Yozgat villages were found to palmitic acid (C 16:0), oleic 18:...

This study aimed to assess the ability of adhesion, detachment, and biofilm formation reference strain Staphylococcus aureus CCM 4223 on a stainless steel surface, efficacy three disinfectants: preparation A (based peracetic acid, 20 mg/l), B (newly developed disinfectant with combination two active ingredients, caprylic acid hydrogen peroxide, 25 C sodium hypochlorite, 200 mg/l) in removing S....

BACKGROUND Skin cancers are the most prevalent malignancy worldwide and Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) include the major type of nonmelanoma skin cancers. Fatty acids (FA) have a structural role in cell membranes and play an important role for many physiological and pathological immunologic pathways. Several prospective studies have been conducted on circulating fatty acids and the risk of prostate...

The objective of the study was to analyse fatty acid profile (FA) and amino (AA) in musculus longissimus lumborum et thoracis (MLLT) two contrast pig populations. carried out on a total 39 pigs (19 barrows 20 gilts) indigenous Prestice Black-Pied Pig (PB) 37 (17 three-breed commercial hybrid Large White × Landrace Whitesireline (CH). were kept same conditions diet management. slaughter at avera...

For identification of the underlying molecular changes in hepatic lipid metabolism in zinc deficiency, rats were force-fed a zinc-deficient diet. Subsequently DNA-microarray and proteome profiling was performed in combination with hepatic lipid analysis. Of 6200 target sequences analyzed, 268 transcripts showed altered expression levels in livers of zinc-deficient rats, with 43 genes thereof re...
