background: ferritin is an iron storage protein, which plays a key role in iron metabolism. measurement of ferritin level in serum is one of the most useful indicators of iron status and also a sensitive measurement of iron deficiency. monoclonal antibodies may be useful as a tool in various aspects of ferritin investigations. in this paper, the production of a murine monoclonal antibody (mab) ...

hydatidosis is a disease caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the dog tapeworm,echinococcus granulosus. this is recognised as one of the world’s most important zoonoses, affecting bothhumans and their domestic animals. in the current study, 20 sheep cystic livers or lungs were collected.hydatid fluid and protoscolices were isolated and the soluble protein was prepared. polypeptide ...

This report describes the detailed procedures for Western blot analysis using fluorescent antibodies. After electrophoresis and subsequent electroblotting, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies were visible upon ultraviolet illumination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and could then be photographed to give an accurate record of the blots. Fluorescent labeling allows for photographi...

results isotype of 1f1 clone was determined to be igg1, which reacted with native protein in the western blot experiment and stained 20% of the membrane of neoplastic cells overexpressing her2 with 3+ grade. however, 3l5 clone showed a low reaction (10%) with native her2 in immunohistochemistry. conclusions the results of both western blotting and immunohistochemistry showed that native her2 ca...

we have employed a peptide-based antibody generation protocol for producing antibody against human nestin. using a 12-mer synthetic peptide from repetitive region of human nestin protein devoid of any n- or o-glyco-sylation sequences, we generated a mouse monoclonal antibody capable of recognizing human, mouse, bovine, and rat nestin. a wide variety of nestin proteins ranging from 140-250 kda w...

Objective(s) Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) have widespread and ubiquitous prevalence in the human population and they have received a great deal of attention due to the range of diseases, they caused as a result of an infection. It seems that the fast and reliable diagnostic methods are needed for detecting the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) antibodies especially in patients with HSV encep...
