A tumour-associated antigen (TAA.62) with an apparent mol. wt. of 62 kd, identified by a human monoclonal antibody (IgG2, kappa-light chain), was found to be expressed at elevated levels in the cytoplasmic compartment of malignant as compared with normal mammary epithelial cells in both tissues and cultured cells. Increased levels of cytoplasmic expression of the antigen were also observed in m...

The soluble color pigments of raisin are separated by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and the capacity of TLC-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) with both on-line and off-line coupling is assessed for the identification of the main fraction. TLC has also been used as a pilot technique for the development of a gradient elution method for the separation of pigments by high-performa...

The standard plethysmographic method of measuring total lung capacity (TLC) has been reported to result in spuriously high estimates in patients with severe airway obstruction. The helium-dilution method is known to underestimate TLC in the same patients. To determine the magnitude of these possible errors we measured TLC by four methods in 20 patients with varying degrees of chronic obstructiv...

interstitial fibrosis (asbestosis) and COPD in causing impairment is difficult to ascertain because both will tend to similarly affect commonly used physiologic parameters of impairment; forced vital capacity (FVC); forced expiratory volume in one second (FEy,), diffusing capacity (D), and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (P[A-a]O,); however, the total lung capacity (TLC) is affected in opposi...

INTRODUCTION In resource-limited settings, due to the high cost of CD4 cell count testing, physicians must decide about opportunistic infection (OI) prophylaxis without a laboratory evaluation of HIV stage and level of immune suppression. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of total lymphocyte count (TLC), an inexpensive laboratory parameter, to CD4 count, and to determine a range of T...

BACKGROUND Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) grades severity of COPD and predicts survival. We hypothesize that the inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio, a sensitive measure of static lung hyperinflation, may have a significant association with survival in an emphysematous phenotype of COPD. OBJECTIVES To access the association between IC/TLC and survival in an em...
