background: during the last twenty years, the extraction of specific egg yolk (igy) antibodies from the immunized chickens has been accepted as a useful alternative to the immunization of mammals. the aim of the present study was immunizing the chickens with human umbilical cord serum (hucs) and the extraction of specific anti-human globulins (igg, c3b, and c3d) antibodies from egg yolk in orde...

BACKGROUND A combination of the LISS/Coombs and enzyme methods is recommended for identifying unexpected antibodies. However, many laboratories in which tests are to be performed within the limits of medical fees covered by insurance, use only the LISS/Coombs method because the permissible medical fee is low as compared to the price of reagents required for both methods. The NaCl/Enzyme gel is ...

This paper investigates the claim that giving voters multiple votes to cast would result in more moderate policies as compared to when voters have only one vote to cast. This claim is based on the argument that when voters have only one vote to cast, centrist candidates are squeezed between the left and right candidates who capture all the leftist and rightist votes. It has then been argued tha...

Background: Brucellosis is one of the important zoonotic diseases with variety of symptoms and signs. Using of cost effective, easy and safe diagnostic methods in screening of brucellosis is an important priority. Several studies have been carried out to recognize appropriate diagnostic methods and each have reported different results. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivi...

Chronic hepatosplenic suppurative brucellosis (CHSB) is a local reactivation of a previous brucellosis, coursing with an immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA secondary immunological response. The observation of two cases of CHSB with an apparent IgM response gave rise to a detailed serological study of three of our patients. We studied the first sample from all three patients and successive samples f...
