Random testing is a well known concept that each test is selected randomly regardless of the test previously applied. This paper introduces the antirandom testing which each test applied is chosen such that its total distance from all previous tests is maximum. And one automatic test patterns generation tool using this concept is implemented. At the same time, one popular test generation and si...

objectives: mothers’ perception of their ability to parenting (maternal parenting self-efficacy) is a critical issue that influences their interactions with their preterm neonates. for better support of these mothers, a robust tool is needed which can measure mothers’ perception of their ability to understand and care for their preterm neonates as well as being sensitive to the various levels a...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health issue. One of the major challenge in TB control are over diagnose and underdiagnosed which consequently would lead to increase burden of disease. Therefore, there is urgency for developing a specific and sensitive diagnostic tool. Early secreted antigen target 6 (ESAT6) has been studied extensively as a prospective tuberculosis diagnostic tool. It has t...

The simian virus 40 large T antigen contributes to neoplastic transformation, in part, by targeting the Rb family of tumor suppressors. There are three known Rb proteins, pRb, p130, and p107, all of which block the cell cycle by preventing the transcription of genes regulated by the E2F family of transcription factors. T antigen interacts directly with Rb proteins and disrupts Rb-E2F complexes ...

Autoimmunity directed against retinal or choroidal antigens has been suggested to play a role in the chorioretinal lesions observed in patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. This hypothesis was addressed and patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis were tested for cellular immunity (migration inhibitory factor assay) against human retinal S-antigen. A significantly higher percentage of...

The severe consequences and high mortality of COVID-19 prompted the development a wide range preventive vaccines. first vaccines to be tested were developed in China formulated as inactivated SARS-CoV-2 adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide. One quality indicators for is degree adsorption, which can used control content not only non-adsorbed antigen, but also specific antigen one dose vaccine. aim st...

Extracts from several species of gram-positive cocci were prepared by a modification of the Rantz-Randall autoclave method and tested for reactions with rabbit anti-Peptostreptococcus anaerobius (ATCC 27337 and VPI 5737) sera in a capillary precipitin test. Antigen preparations from two reference strains of P. anaerobius (ATCC 27337 and VPI 5737) and six clinical isolates of P. anaerobius react...

BACKGROUND Detection of subclinical cryptococcal disease using cryptococcal antigen screening among HIV-positive individuals presents a potential opportunity for prevention of both clinical disease and death if patients with detectable cryptococcal antigen are identified and treated pre-emptively. Recently developed point-of-care cryptococcal antigen tests may be useful for screening, particula...

Legionellae, which are important causes of pneumonia in humans, continue to be incorrectly labeled as exotic pathogens. The ability to diagnose Legionella infection is limited by the nonspecific nature of clinical features and the shortcomings of diagnostic tests. Despite recent improvements, existing diagnostic tests for Legionella infection either lack sensitivity for detecting all clinically...
