Differential proteome profiles of human lung squamous carcinoma tissue compared to paired tumor-adjacent normal bronchial epithelial tissue were established and analyzed by means of immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The results showed that we...

A new species of Trimma, T. irinae, is described from 65 m off Lawadi, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. This colourful new species has red-orange spots on the head and anterior trunk, with a yellow to orange body posteriorly. The first dorsal fin has two dark basal spots, and the elongated section of the second dorsal spine is bright white to pale blue in life. There are 8-9 scales in the ...

background: glucantime ® is the first- line drug for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis. unfortunately, the prevalence of parasites becoming resistant to glucantime ® is increasing in several parts of the world including iran. as protein is the most important target for drugs in response to a variety of signals including drugs so, it seems expression protein patterns in sensitive and r...

1. Intracellular responses were recorded from rods in isolated eye-cups of the snapping turtle. Chelydra serpentina. Responses to flashes of small (less than 100 mum diameter) and large (1000 mum diameter) spots of 500 nm light were studied. 2. Responses produced by small and large diameter spots which delivered less than 0-3 photons mum-2 had the same shape. The responses produced by large spo...

Comparative proteome analysis using brain cerebral cortex tissues from cats and dogs infected with/without rabies virus were conducted using both two-dimensional gel-electrophoresis (2-DE) and 2-D fluorescence difference gel- electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) methods. The 2-DE gel images of all samples revealed >1,000 protein spots in each gel. Quantitative intensity analysis revealed the same overall ...

A high capacity for accumulation of Mn was reported for sunflower plants. Localization of excess Mn is therefore of special interest for understanding metal tolerance mechanisms in this species. In this study, structural and histochemical alterations caused by Mn accumulation in leaves were investigated in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Azar-ghol) plants grown in nutrient solution. In the ...

background: gliomas are the most frequently observed primary brain tumors. these tumors comprise a variety of different histological tumor types and malignancy grades. oligodendrogliomas typically contain a rich network of branching capillaries. approximately 50%-80% of oligodendrogliomas demonstrate a combined loss of chromosomes 1p and 19q. oligodendrogliomas differ from neurocytomas in that ...

Aim Detection of protein expression changes in human cystic echinococcosis sera by 2D gel electrophoresis. Background Diagnosis and successful treatment of cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a major challenge, up to now. Identification of related expressed proteins using proteomics tools and bioinformatics analysis of patients' sera have not been investigated, so far. Methods Sera from eight con...
