Paratuberculosis or Johne's disease is a slow-developing infectious caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) affecting mainly domestic ruminants and producing significant economic threat to livestock production systems. Although reports on in small Colombia are very scarce, the Colombian sheep industry has identified as one of causes its low development. There have been MAP i...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) may induce a systemic thrombo-inflammatory response. The effect of secondary prevention therapy on this response is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on markers of coagulation activation, inflammation and renal function in patients with IC, receiving ...

OBJECTIVE Notch signalling pathways are critical for angiogenesis and endothelial cell (EC) fate; however the mechanisms regulating these processes in the inflamed joint remain to be elucidated. Here, we examine whether Notch signalling mediates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 2 (Ang2)-induced vascular function. METHODS Notch-1 intracellular domain (Notch-1 IC), Not...

Bu çalışmada, Antalya ili Finike ilçesi marul üretim alanlarında Marul mozayik virüsü (Lettuce mosaic virüs: LMV)’nün belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Virüsün tanılama çalışmalarında DAS-ELISA (Double Antibody Sandwich Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) ve IC-RT-PCR (Immunocapture Ters Transkripsiyon Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. amaçla araştırma alanından 92 örneğ...

Human noroviruses are the dominant cause of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis. These viruses are usually detected by molecular methods, including reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Human noroviruses are genetically and antigenically diverse, with two main genogroups that are further subdivided into over 40 different genotypes. During the past deca...

Our interests are in the development of immunoassay-based fast scanning methods for persistent organic pollutants. To develop the immunoassay method of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), a model compound of PBDE, 2,3',4,5',6-pentabromodiphenylether (BDE-121), has been chosen to develop its antibody and the competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is developed. The hapte...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the causal agents of viral diseases that infected mint (Mentha spp.). CMV is a member of the cucumovirus genus in  Bromoviridae family. The virus is naturally transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner.During  growing season 2007-2008, leaf samples from plants of mint fields with symptoms of viral disease were collected in mint fieldas in Tehran provi...
