Neutrophil agglutinins that caused primary autoimmune neutropenia in six young children less than two years of age reported earlier were investigated further for antibody identification and specificity using granulocyte agglutination technique. Initially, the patient sera were tested with parental neutrophils and further confirmed with several donor cells. The sera were tested with autologous n...

Mosquitoes transmit serious human diseases, causing millions of deaths every year. Use of synthetic insecticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance and adverse environmental effects in addition to high operational cost. Insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. The present investigations were made to eva...
