The standard liver volume (LV) of a recipient is estimated in liver transplantation to determine the minimum LV necessary for the recipient. Simple linear formulas of LV estimation were developed for the Japanese and Caucasian populations. The present study examined the applicability of the reported formulas to the Korean population. Liver density (LD) was determined by analyzing 24 healthy liv...

Figure S1. The stimulus profile visualized using FITC-BSA shows similar pattern to that of fluorescein, although FITC-BSA pattern are more dispersed compared to that of fluorescein. Profiles were generated by alternatively delivering FITC-BSA solution and PBS at 50 mHz driven by (A) 1psi, (B) 2psi, (C) 3psi and (D) 4psi. Heatmaps of spatial (Y axis) and temporal (X axis) show fluorescent intens...

Here, we investigated the interaction of cuminaldehyde with a model carrier protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). The formation BSA–cuminaldehyde complex was confirmed through ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and further proven by detailed intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopic measurements. As observed, quenched tryptophanyl BSA. data, before analyses, were corrected for inner filter eff...

Immunofluorescence Cells were fixed in 2% (v/v) formaldehyde for 40 min. After being washed in PBS, the cells were permeabilized in a blocking buffer containing 10% (v/v) FBS, 3% (w/v) BSA and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 in PBS. The cells were then incubated at 4 °C with primary antibodies against EEA1, CI-MPR, clathrin heavy chain or the α subunit of AP-2 for 6-12 hours. Excess antibody was remove...

BACKGROUND The binding of three new aminopropan-2-ol compounds briefly called 2F109, ANBL and TWo8 with potential cardiovascular activity to bovine serum albumin (BSA), α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and to rat serum was studied. The chemical structures of these compounds are related to carvedilol. They possess an antiarrhythmic and hypotensive activity, and β- and α-adrenolytic mechanism of action...

Normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes were separated on discontinuous gradients of 17-35% bovine serum albumin (BSA) into nine fractions. Three subpopulations of lymphocytes were obtained. One occupies the top third of the gradient (fractions 1-3, 17-23% BSA) and is rich in cells characterized by a high spontaneous rate of DNA synthesis and by the ability to give rise to colony-forming unit...

Previously, we found that asialo-lactosamine sequences served as receptors for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) binding to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In the present report, we have extended these earlier results by examining the ability of lactosamine- or fucosylated lactosamine-bovine serum albumin (BSA) glycoconjugates to inhibit EPEC, strain E2348/69, binding to HEp-2 cells. ...

We report the synthesis of luminescent AuAg alloy quantum clusters (QCs) in bovine serum albumin (BSA), for the first time, with experimentally determined atomic composition. Mixing of the as-synthesized protein-protected Au and Ag clusters resulted in the formation of alloy AuAg clusters within the BSA. Mass spectrometric analysis of the product of a 1 : 1 molar ratio reaction mixture of Au(QC...
