Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies are epitope specific and not antigen specific. This work presents a case of intra-allele (IA) sensitization. A 40-year-old-man underwent transplantion with identical "broad" DR. He was apparently not sensitized to HLA antigens by complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), with one previous transplantation 15 years previously. In post-transplantation monito...

Tissue cultures of Phyllanthus tenellus Roxb. were maintained on modified MS to evaluate in vitro flowering under light of different qualities: white (control), blue, green, red, yellow, UV-A plus white and darkness; as well as different growth regulators at concentrations (μM): IBA 0.98, KIN 0.46, KIN 2.3, IBA 0.98 + KIN 0.46, IAA 1.14 + KIN 0.46. The events from vegetative to reproductive gro...

In vitro propagation of strawberry was conducted at the Biotechnology Lab. of BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur. For shoot induction, five BAP concentrations viz., 0.0 (Control), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/l and for root induction four IBA concentrations viz., 0.0 (Control), 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/l were used. The highest average number of shoots (7) and the highest average length (3.34 cm) of shoot was ob...

In the present prospective study, a dot immunobinding assay (Dot-Iba) was standardized to measure the circulating mycobacterial antigen in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens for the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Immunoglobulin G antibody specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a CSF specimen from a patient with culture-proven TBM was isolated and was coupled with act...

“Withanolides”, the legendary bioactive metabolite present in leaves and roots of Withania somnifera, is well known for its therapeutic activities since ancient times. Several efforts have been made to produce these metabolites under in vitro condition. In the present study, we have tested the effects of exogenous supplementation of IBA and IAA in W. somnifera in vitro root cultures with the ai...

In this research, a factorial 4×3×4 with 4 replications in Completely Randomized design was used to study the effects of different auxin treatments (4 levels), pH(2 levels) and cultivars (3 levels) on regeneration and rooting of in vitro shoot tips excised from shoots cultured on media supplemented with 1.5-2 mg/l BA. The results showed both auxins (NAA and IBA) produced callus in the bases of ...

In field trails on lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates), the effect of growth regulators, viz. indole butyric acid (IBA) and mepiquat chloride (MC), and their mode of application was studied to assess their effects on growth, oil yield and hormonal contents. The results suggested that application of growth regulators had no favourable effect on growth and oil yields in lemon grass. However, applica...

In this paper we propose a combined AHP-IBA model for selecting the best SAP consultant for an SAP ERP project. The goal of the SAP Project Manager is to choose the best consultant, the one who is able to implement standard SAP functionalities with quality and on time.When making a decision on the basis of multiple criteria, the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method does not take ...

Ion beam analysis (IBA) is a powerful materials characterization technique with very wide applicability. However, despite the fact that most natural and many industrial samples are rough, there is currently no way to correctly take severe roughness into account when processing the IBA spectra from rough samples, without resorting to Monte Carlo calculations which are too slow for routine use. I...

The suite of techniques which are available with the small accelerators used for MeV ion beam analysis (IBA) range from broad beams, microbeams or external beams using the various particle and photon spectrometries (including RBS, EBS, ERD, STIM, PIXE, PIGE, NRA and their variants), to tomography and secondary particle spectrometries like MeV-SIMS. These can potentially yield almost everything ...
