We have produced a murine monoclonal antibody (MAb), ZX10, recognizing the NTPase/helicase domain of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 3 protein (NS3), from which we designed a single-chain variable fragment (ScFv). The ZX10 MAb recognized a discontinuous epitope of the NTPase/helicase domain, of which the linear sequence GEIPFYGKAIPL at residues 1371 to 1382 constitutes one part. cDNAs...

The hydroxyl deformation frequencies (900-1 500 cm-l) of lasalocid A, its sodium complex, and their deuterated derivatives were studied with Raman spectroscopy. The secondary and tertiary hydroxyl groups of lasalocid A give rise to spectral lines near 1425, 1303, 1172, and 738 cm-’, typical of hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups. In the lasalocid A-sodium complex, these are replaced by peaks at 138...

Background: Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in developing countries due to the emergence of drug resistance against conventional anti-tuberculosis drugs. Rifampicin considered be one most potent first-line anti-TB drugs but cases, it has lost its efficiency bacterial resistance. The objective this study was detect prevalence rifampicin-resistance and probe mutation 81bp RRDR rpo-B...

The study describes the prevalence of different forms of smoking, and the correlates of current smoking, by male students of King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. A random sample of 1382 students at 9 colleges answered a self-administered questionnaire based on the Global Youth Tobacco Survey plus the modified Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. The prevalence of current smoking was 28.1% ...
