We examined the role of antigenic charge on the deposition of immune complexes (IC) in murine gloerulia Acute serum sickens nephritis was induced by injecting chemically modified cationic bovine serum albumin (cationic BSA). Controls were immunized with unmodified native BSA (native BSA), All mice were given a primary intraperitoneal immunization with 500 pg of the respective antigens plus Freu...

Electrospinning of the globular protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), was optimized to obtain proteinous fibers suitable as biosensors. It was shown that the as-spun protein preserves its native form, whereas solubility of the cross-linked in the ambient conditions BSA nanofibers evidently decreases. Insoluble BSA fibers can be easily modified to be used as two-dimensional biosensors. Here, we s...

This study investigated the interaction between eupatorin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, and molecular modeling at pH 7.4. Results of UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies illustrated that BSA fluorescence was quenched by eupatorin via a static quenching mechanism. The...

The adsorption and conformation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were interrogated both qualitatively and quantitatively via complementary physicochemical characterization methods. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation (AFFF), fluorescence spectrometry, and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrosco...

INTRODUCTION This study investigated the inhibition of the antimicrobial activity of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) by bovine serum albumin (BSA). The killing of Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli by NaOCl in concentrations from 2% to 0.03% was measured in the presence of BSA in concentrations between 6.7% and 0.1%. METHODS NaOCl, BSA, and m...

to be avoided. Berthed and Rey (1) have also reported enormous crossreactivityof hydrocortisonehemisuccinate in the “Rianen” RIA kit for cortisol determination. An issue of Clinical Chemistry (1983;29:890-953) reports the commercial availability of(then)more than 27 cortisol RIA kits.Methodologically, these kits were divided into three groups according to the different antibodies used: antibodi...

For patients with high body surface areas (BSA), differing chemotherapy dosing strategies have been utilized in attempts to reduce toxicity. In a retrospective evaluation, we compared the effects of chemotherapy dosing in acute myeloid leukemia patients with high BSA (>2m(2)) who received capped doses (n=12) to those who received uncapped doses (n=24), and to patients with BSA≤2m(2) (n=42). The...

Biodegradable hollow capsules filled with fluorescently labelled bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model drug were prepared via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of type-I collagen (COL) and hyaluronic acid (HA) using calcium carbonate micro-particles and co-precipitation method. Capsules loaded with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-BSA, tetramethylrhodamin isothiocyanate (TRITC)-BSA or Alex-Fl...
