haptoglobin (hp) is a mammalian serum glycoprotein showing a genetic polymorphism with three types, 1-1, 2-2 and 1-2. hp appears to conserve the recycling of heme-iron by forming an essentially irreversible but non-covalent complex with hemoglobin which is released into the plasma by erythrocyte lysis. as an important consequence, haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex (hp-hb) shows considerable antiox...

isolation and differentiation of various species of mycobacteria are predominantly based on conventional, cultural and biochemical tests. among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria, these tests are unable to differentiate m. scrofulaceum from m. avium-intracellulare (mai) because of their identical biochemical characteristics. for this reason, one hundred mycobacterial strains suspected to be m. sc...
