With the aim of the production of human factor VIII antigen and its corresponding antibody an epitope coding fragment of the light-chain of hFVIII, fused to a His6-tag, was isolated and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The over-expressed hFVIII-epitope containing peptide was confirmed by its reaction with a rabbit serum directed against native hFVIII as well as antiHis6-tag antibody. An expr...

In an attempt to scientifically appraise the ‘healing po Harpagophytum procumbens DC [family: Pedaliaceae], efficacy and safety of the medicinal plant product, we hav effects of the plant’s secondary root aqueous extract (HP rabbit isolated gastro-intestinal smooth muscle preparation animal study indicate that relatively low to high doses secondary root aqueous extract (HPE, 10–1000 μg/ml) sign...

THE present work was undertaken as a preliminary step in the investigation of the experimental haemoglobinuria described by Callow and Hele [1927]. These workers found that p-bromoand p-chloro-phenylmercapturic acids, whether given by the mouth or subcutaneously, cause a transient haemoglobinuria in the dog. An attempt was made to find a small animal which would show a similar response to dosag...

Previous reports from this laboratory and others have established that both the rabbit and human erythrocyte membranes contain multiple protein kinase and phosphate acceptor activities. We now report that these membranes also contain phosphoryl acceptor sites for the soluble cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent protein kinases from rabbit erythrocytes. The rabbit erythrocyte membrane, which do...

leptospirosis is one of the major zoonotic diseases worldwide. this disease is caused by various serovars of leptospira interrogans sensu lato infection. although the rabbits are known to be one of the reservoirs and transmission sources of leptospirosis, but the status of this infection in rabbits in iran remains unknown, so this survey was conducted to evaluate the seroprevalence of leptos...

considering the importance of bone augmentation prior to implant placement in order to obtain adequate bone quality and quantity, many studies have been conducted to evaluate different techniques and materials regarding new bone formation. in this study, we investigated the bone healing capacity of two different materials deproteinized bovine bone mineral (dbbm with the trade name of bio-oss) a...

melatonin, a pineal gland secreted hormone has different effects on mammalian physiology. recently, specific receptors of melatonine have been found in the central nervous system and spinal cord of rabbits. l - theanine is a unique amino acid in the tea plant ( camellia sinensis ). the effects of this amino acid is based on increasing gaba and dopamine levels in the brain and has a weak effect ...

A cell-free preparation isolated from wheat embryos has been used successfully for the analysis of protein chain initiation with natural mRNA’s primarily of plant viral origin [l-4]. A tacit assumption in these studies has been that the ribosome-mRNA attachment reaction with the viral RNA’s was equivalent to the reaction with cellular mRNA’s. In the present communication we test this assumption...

The main primary bile acid formed from cholesterol in rabbit is cholic acid (2).r During the enterohepatic circulation of bile, cholic acid is extensively transformed into deoxycholic acid by the action of intestinal microorganisms, and deoxycholic acid is normally the predominant bile acid in rabbit bile (2). Small amounts of other bile acids have been isolated from rabbit bile. In 1936 Kishi ...

Scrum of hypercholesterolemic rabbits, when pulsated for 72 hours at pressures of 300 mm. Hg/0 mm. Hg with a pulse rate of 80 produced a birefringent deposit in excised pieces of rabbit aortae. Scrum from normal rabbits did not produce this deposit. The active component or components responsible for this deposit are in the |8-lipoprotein fraction of serum. The birefringent material is detectabl...
