The occurrence of multiple herbicide resistant weeds has increased considerably in glyphosate-resistant soybean fields Brazil; however, the mechanisms governing this resistance have not been studied. In its study, target-site and nontarget-site were characterized an Eleusine indica population (R-15) with to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors, glyphosate, imazamox, paraquat. Absorption t...

aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. elisa is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an elisa method. in current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

We report that the ability of NK cells to produce chemokines is increased in NK-target cell conjugates. The chemokines produced play a critical role in the polarization and recruitment of NK cells as well as in the NK effector-target cell conjugate formation. Chemokines induce the formation of two specialized regions in the NK cell: the advancing front or leading edge, where chemokine receptors...

introduction: ubiquicidin 29-41 (ubi) is a fragment of the cationic antimicrobial peptide that is present in various species including humans. the purpose of this study was to investigate radiochemical and biological characteristics of [6-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (hynic)]-ubi 29-41 designed for the labeling with 99mtc using tricine as coligand. methods: synthesis was preformed on a ...

Inhibition of tumor neovascularization has profound effects on the growth of solid tumors. An endothelial cell-specific cytotoxic conjugate was prepared by chemically linking recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) and a truncated diphtheria toxin molecule (DT385). The treatment of subconfluent cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human microvascular endotheli...

conclusions vaccine based on the conjugation of p. aeruginosa pao-1 lps with dt increased anti-lps antibodies and had a significant potential to protect against pseudomonas infections. background treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa pao-1 infections through immunological means has been proved to be efficient and protective. objectives the purpose of this study was to produce a conjugate vaccine ...

miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...

Tumor hypoxia is associated with the rapid proliferation and growth of malignant tumors, and the ability to detect tumor hypoxia is important for predicting tumor response to anti-cancer treatments. We have developed a class of dye-conjugates that are related to indocyanine green (ICG, ) to target tumor hypoxia, based on in vivo infrared fluorescence imaging using nitroimidazole moieties linked...
