BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) is a crucial element in death signaling pathways and is recognized as an intracellular link connecting the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic and extrinsic death receptor-mediated apoptotic pathways. Herein, we describe experiments conducted with a fusion protein, which was generated by fusing a human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-specific s...

In part 21 of the tutorial series "Acoustofluidics--exploiting ultrasonic standing wave forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation", we review applications of ultrasonic standing waves used for enhancing immunoassays and particle sensors. The paper covers ultrasonic enhancement of bead-based immuno-agglutination assays, bead-based immuno-fluorescenc...

Persistent hypocalcaemic tetany in a breast-fed neonate made us suspect DiGeorge's syndrome, particularly as the baby had an abnormal facies, and a ventricular septal defect. Immuno-reconstitution was successfully achieved by thymic transplant. Evidence of immuno-reconstitution on the basis of the histology of the post-transplant thymus has not been previously recorded.

Progressive Disseminated Histoplasmosis (PDH) is mainly described in immuno-compromised individuals and rare in immuno-competent subjects. Here we report a case of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis with Comb's positive hemolytic anemia, which is infrequently reported from a country like India where histoplasmosis is not an endemic mycosis.

We briefly outline an algorithm for accurate quantification of specific binding of gold particles to fixed biological tissue samples prepared for immuno-transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The algorithm is based on existing protocols for rational accounting of colloidal gold particles used in secondary antibodies for immuno-gold labeling.

The number of new Immuno-PCR technologies and applications is steadily growing as a result of a general need for more sensitive immunoassays for early detection of diseases. Although Immuno-PCR has been demonstrated to be superior to its immunoassay counterpart, it is still regarded as a challenging technology due to various problems arising from its increased detection power, such as high back...

Real-time PCR is a very sensitive technique to measure DNA concentrations. In real-time immuno-PCR, it is used as the detection system for quantification of proteins. Many ways to perform and assemble real-time immuno-PCR are possible. We have tested three different approaches for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and compared them with each other and with ELISA. We also demonstr...

Due to a high risk and tendency of OPMDs towards OSCC, its early detection is essential for better survival rate. Several molecular markers are available diagnosis prognostic assessments OPMDs, also evaluating aggressiveness OSCC. Objectives: To assess the immuno-histochemical expression Cyclin D1 in normal healthy oral mucosa. has significant role cell cycle control strongly linked with metast...

OBJECTIVE Correlation of CD24 expression with histological grading and TNM staging of retinoblastoma. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, BMSI, JPMC and NICH from 1(st) January 2009 to 31(st) December 2013. A total 68 diagnosed cases of retinoblastoma were selected for CD24 immuno staining. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 22. RESULTS ...

This study aimed to diagnose Lumpy skin desease by isolation and identification of LSD from suspected naturally infected cattle its effect on immuno-biochemical parameters, inflammatory oxidative stress markers. The was conducted 25 cattle, 1-3 years age two cities in the Sharkia governorate. Ten clinically healthy represented control group fifteen diseased cases group. clinical signs showed an...
