BACKGROUND With the increasing numbers of living-related donor liver transplantation, accurate means of calculating standard liver volume (SLV) based on patient body indices becomes important. Three formulae reported in literature for this purpose have been derived from studies on Western and Japanese populations. AIM To assess the existing formulae for calculation of SLV in Indian population...

in this research, the magnetite nanoparticles (fe304) were prepared by coprecipitation of fe3+ andfe solution in alkaline medium. two kinds of surfactants, cetyl tri methyl ammonium bromide(ctab) and cetyl pyridinum chloride (cpc) were used in the synthesis. fe304 nanoparticles werecoated with human serum albumin (hsa) and bovine serum albumin (bsa). characteristics ofcoated magnetic nanopartic...

The parameters that affect the interaction of ligands with a fucose-binding lectin from rat liver have been examined. 125I-Fucosyl-bovine serum albumin (Fuc-BSA) containing 50 residues of fucose/molecule was used as the standard ligand. At low initial concentrations of ligand (10 ng/ml) and lectin (140 ng/ml), the reaction reaches equilibrium at pH 7.8, 23 degrees C, within 40 min. The binding ...

To explore the specificity determinants involved in lectin-sugar interactions, we have prepared 6 neoglycoproteins, each containing a single ovalbumin-derived oligosaccharide unit linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA), and compared their concanavalin A (Con A) binding and their in vivo circulatory clearance rate and tissue specificity in the rat. The neoglycoproteins were prepared using the glyc...

The deposition of calcium phosphate on chemically polished commercially pure titanium immersed in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) (concentrations 0 and 4 mg/mL) has been investigated. Electrochemical techniques, 125I labeling of albumin, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were...

The interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with gold colloids and surfaces was studied using zeta-potential and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements, respectively, to determine the surface charge and coverage. The combination of these two measurements suggests that BSA binding to gold nanoparticles and gold surfaces occurs by an electrostatic mechanism when citrate is present. The ...

Killer lectin-like receptor NKG2D, which is found on natural killer cells, recognizes MHC class 1-related ligands and also interacts with glycan ligands, heparin-conjugated bovine serum albumin (heparin-BSA) and sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) on multi-antennary N-glycans on transferrin secreted by HepG2 cells (HepTF). Using the glutathione-Stransferase-fused extracellular domain (AA 73-216) of NKG2D (rG...
