Indirect immunofluorescence studies using an antiserum to purified porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide indicate, in the gastrointestinal tract of dog and man, that this polypeptide is present in cells situated predominantly in the mid-zone of the glands in the duodenum and, to a lesser extent, in the jejunum. Absolute correlation of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide cell with one or other o...

Group B streptococci (GBS) express various surface antigens designated c, R, and X antigens. A new R-like surface protein from Streptococcus agalactiae strain Compton R has been identified by using a polyclonal antiserum raised against the R protein fraction of this strain to screen a lambda Zap library. DNA sequence analysis of positive clones allowed the prediction of the primary structure of...

Four polypeptides which exhibited apparent molecular weights from 40 000 to 48 000 were isolated from the thylakoid membrane. The isolation was achieved by gel filtration of polypeptides, solubilized by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate and, after removal of detergent by anion exchange chromatography in ethanolic solution. The polypeptide of the molecular weight 40000 was iden­ tified as the 7-co...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of 10% citric acid and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) irrigating solutions on the surface morphology of young and old root dentin by determining the number and diameter of dentinal tubules using scanning electron microscopy (sem). methods and materials: fifty healthy human teeth collected from young (≤30 years) ...

introduction: the present study evaluated the element distribution in completely set calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement after application of 35% carbamide peroxide, 40% hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate as commercial bleaching agents using an energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis (edx) system. the surface structure was also observed using the scanning electron microscope (sem). methods ...

the morphology of the adults, egg, larva and pupa of anopheles persiensis linton, sedaghat & harbach, an iranian member of the holarctic maculipennis group, was studied and compared with the morphology of the closely related and sympatric a. maculipennis meigen. anopheles persiensis was formally recognized based on dna evidence and egg morphology. the fourth member of the group, anopheles persi...

during past few years, the cupressus arizonica has been abundantly planted in tehran, causing a significant increase of allergic diseases from the middle of winter to the beginning of spring. the aim of this study was the comparison of pollen protein content in two major varieties of c. arizonica planted in tehran, including c. arizonica var. arizonica and c. arizonica var. glabra , in order to...

synthesis, identification and thermal behavior studies of nanoparticles cobalt (ii) bromide has been studied in this research. cobalt (ii) bromide was synthesized by planetary high-energy ball mill. the general formula of this compound is cobr2.6h2o. the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and also size and structure of synthesized nanoparticl...

Immunoglobulin from goat antiserum directed against purified surface membranes from transformed BHK21/C13 cells (anti-M) has been shown to cause both control and transformed hamster cells to round and detach from the substrate (see accompanying paper). This paper documents the effects of the antiserum on the cytoskeletal organization and cell surface morphology of control BHK21/C13 cells examin...
