The B-vitamins include thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), the B6 complex (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine), biotin (B8 or Vitamin H), folic acid (B9), and B12. Each of the B-vitamins plays a key role as either an enzymatic cofactor or metabolic constituent in many facets of intermediary metabolism. For example, about half of the propionate that reaches the ru...

The effects of the electronic and geometric factors on the global minimum structures of MB9(-) (M = V, Nb, Ta) are investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Photoelectron spectra are obtained for MB9(-) at two photon energies, and similar spectral features are observed for all three species. The structures for all clusters are established by global minima searche...

In order to directly assess the distribution of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and their precursors (CTL-P) in the two major subsets of human T cells, we have used limiting dilution microculture systems to determine their frequencies. The two subsets were defined according to their reactivity (or lack thereof) with B9.4 monoclonal antibody (the specificity of which is similar, if not identical, ...

A monoclonal antibody (B9) was generated by using a rat malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)-derived cloned cell line (MT-8) as the immunogen. Immunohistochemically, B9 reacted specifically with a cytoplasmic antigen of MT-8 cells. Furthermore, B9 immunolabeled another MFH-derived cloned cells (MT-9) and histiocytic sarcoma cells, as well as macrophages/histiocytes in normal and diseased tissue...

In this study, it was aimed to compare of nutritional composition, cholesterol, trans fatty acids, lipid quality index, vitamins (A, B9, B2, B12, D3), selenium (Se), and iron (Fe) contents between farmed Atlantic salmon rainbow trout. Crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, energy values were slightly higher than trout while ash moisture in (p < 0.05). The cholesterol content samples found a...

Yarrowia lipolytica as an oleaginous yeast is capable of growing in various non-conventional hydrophobic substrate types, especially industrial wastes. In this study, the content thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin B2), pyridoxine B6), biotin B7) and folic acid B9) wet biomass Y. strains cultivated biofuel waste (SK medium), compared to standard laboratory YPD medium, was assessed. Additionally, ...

AIM To explore the correlation between serum vitamin B12 level and peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). METHODS A total of 593 patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis by gastroscopy and pathological examination from September 2013 to September 2016 were selected for this study. The age of these patients ranged within 18- to 75-years-old. Blood pressure, h...

We have developed idiotype-anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies that provide evidence for rabies virus binding to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Hybridoma cell lines 7.12 and 7.25 resulted after fusion of NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with rabies virus strain CVS. Antibody 7.12 reacted with viral glycoprotein and neutralized virus infectivity in vivo. It ...
