The isoantigens A, B, and H of the red blood cells of Groups A, B, and 0 are also present in the normal epithelial cells of the exocrine glands of the pancreas. They are absent in Langerhans's islands and in the connective tissue. They are readily demonstrable with the Coombs' mixed-cell agglutination reaction. We studied the effect of cancerous transformation on the three antigens in primary a...

Bacterial fish pathogens cause significant losses in rainbow trout farms. In farms, bacterial threatening diseases which has made it necessary to develop rapid methods for disease diagnosis. Serological techniques are applied with a small amount of antiserum and sample, preferred the diagnosis diseases. this study, formalin-killed antigens prepared from reference strains Lactococcus garvieae, Y...

Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV) is identified recently in tomato plants in the United States. To develop serological diagnostic tools for the detection of this virus, the production of good quality antibodies is a necessity. The coat protein (CP) gene of a California isolate of PZSV was cloned into a bacterial expression vector (pTriEX-4 Ek/LIC). The plasmid pTriEX-4-PZSV-CP was transforme...

The properties of a rabbit antiserum (anti-AML) raised to a purified protein from membranes of human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells is described. Bone marrow and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from either normal individuals or patients with either myeloproliferative or other disorders were analyzed in a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS IV) after labeling with anti-AML, normal...
