background outer membrane protein d (pd) is a highly conserved and stable protein in the outer membrane of both encapsulated (typeable) and non-capsulated (non-typeable) strains of haemophilus influenzae. as an immunogen, pd is a potential candidate vaccine against non-typeable h. influenzae (nthi) strains. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the cytokine pattern and the opsonic a...

the aim of this investigation was conducted to proteomic analysis of plasma obtained from pregnant women who destined to develop late-onset preeclampsia without intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) during 16 th week of gestation. plasma was obtained from primiparous women during 16 th week of gestation. 2-de proteomic analysis was done for plasma from 11 healthy pregnant women and 11 women wh...

Background: Human Adenovirus species D (HAdV-D) was common human viral pathogen especially in eye infection, consists of several types of which HAdV-D8, -D19 and –D37 were common in eye infection. This study includes detection of HAdV-D types implicated in conjunctivitis based on L2 (Penton protein) gene similarity. Methods: Conjunctival swabs were collected from Keratoconjunctivitis patient...

background: the most reliable indicator of vitamin d status is circulating concentration of 25‑hydroxycalciferol (25(oh) d) routinely determined by enzyme‑immunoassays (eia) methods. this study was performed to compare commonly used competitive protein‑binding assays (cpba)‑based eia with the gold standard, high‑pressure liquid chromatography (hplc). methods: concentrations of 25(oh) d in sera ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of balancing low protein diets for methionine and lysine on performance of early lactation holstein cows under hot environmental temperature. twenty one multiparous holstein cows in early lactation were allocated to three experimental rations including, 1) high protein ration with 17.5% cp, 2) medium protein ration with 16% cp and 12 g/d rumen p...

objective anti-rh d igg is used for the prevention of anti-d antibody production in rh- individuals who have been exposed to rh+ red blood cells. the stability of igg preparations as a solution is low, with a shelf life of a year or more. formulation of anti-rh d igg as a lyophilized preparation would decrease its degradation rate and increases its shelf life. the objective of this study was to...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate how interactions between forage to concentrate ratio and dietary crude protein level may alter nitrogen efficiency and UT-B expression in growing Baluchi male lambs. Four Baluchi male lambs [30 ± 2 kg BW] were used in a 4 × 4 latin square design with 28-d periods and a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. The treatments fed forage: concent...
