Gamma globulin and antibody obtained from inbred C(3)H mice are split by papain and cysteine into fragments roughly one-third the size of the original Molecule (S(20,w) = 3.5S). The papain digests were characterized by starch gel electrophoresis and immunological methods. The highly heterogeneous fragments could be divided into two groups with distinct antigenic determinants (S and F), which we...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of providing a water-soluble globulin in the drinking water on growth performance of weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 360 weanling pigs (5.0 +/- 1.2 kg; 17 +/- 3 d of age; PIC) were blocked by initial weight and allotted to one of six treatments in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Treatments included three diet complexity regimens with or without wa...

novel edible emulsified films were made using pistachio globulin protein (pgp) and palmitic fatty acid at concentrations of 2, 4, and 6 % w/w protein by tween-80 and homogenization technique. addition of palmitic acid to the pgp filmogenic solution resulted in great reduction of wvp in the emulsified films (37-40 %). concentration of palmitic acid did not create significant difference (p>0.05) ...

results serum estradiol levels tended to have a negative correlation with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (homa-ir) in premenopausal women but not in postmenopausal women. on the other hand, free testosterone levels tended to have a positive correlation with homa-ir in postmenopausal women but not in premenopausal women. serum shbg levels showed significant negative correlati...

BACKGROUND We evaluated a new, automated multicapillary zone electrophoresis (CE) instrument (Capillarys), 4.51 software version; Sebia) for human serum protein analysis. METHODS With the Capillarys beta1-beta2+ reagent set, proteins were separated at 7 kV for 4 min in 15.5 cm x 25 micro m fused-silica capillaries (n = 8) at 35.5 degrees C in a pH 10 buffer with online detection at 200 nm. Se...

The material in gamma globulin ("reactant") which reacts with rheumatoid sera in the F II precipitin and F II tanned sheep cell agglutination tests was concentrated by precipitation with sodium sulfate. The concentrated "reactant" appeared to consist of polydispersed molecular aggregates of gamma globulin with s(20) constants as high as 40, as well as the previously described inhomogeneous aggr...

OBJECTIVE Purpose was to determine the effects of grazing system and floor type on concentrations of blood metabolites, activity of creatine kinase, body weight and carcass characteristics of castrated Nguni goats. METHODS Forty eight, 7 month old goats were randomly allocated to herding and tethering treatments from 0800 to 1300 hours and accommodated on slatted and earth floors daily. Blood...

Two major antigenic fragments were obtained from various purified gamma-globulin preparations after papain treatment. One, the F component, had a mobility faster than the original gamma-globulin and the second, the S component, had a slower mobility. Similar F and S components were also obtained with certain homogeneous myeloma proteins which were closely related to gamma-globulin immunological...

The major storage protein fraction, globulin-1 protein, of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The protein pattern suggested a more complex system for globulin-1 protein than the model of three polypeptides, alpha, beta, and gamma, differing in molecular weight. Isoelectrofocusing analyses of the individual proteins showed that each exhibited cha...
