the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bovine serum albomin (bsa) in stallion semen extender in cool condition. after collection, semen samples were pooled and divided into four equal parts. each part was diluted with one of the following extenders: 1) extender without bsa (bsa-0), 2) extender containing 5 mg/ml bsa (bsa-5), 3) extender containing 10 mg/ml bsa (bsa-10), and 4) exte...

Adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) onto calcium Hydroxyl Apatite (HA), Ca10PO4(OH)2, has been studied by Ultra Violet (UV) spectroscopy. The adsorption isotherms of BSA onto the HA surface at 291.7 K and 303.2 K were satisfactorily presented by Langmuir equation and the evaluated parameters are reported. The specific surface area of H...

Through observations of colloidal gold with silver enhancement, we have demonstrated that 2-nm colloidal gold labeled-testosterone-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate or hydrocortisone-BSA conjugate injected intravenously enters the hormone-target cell nuclei of rats (Nishimura and Ichihara, 1997; Nishimura and Nakano, 1997, 1999). To confirm immunocytochemically whether the nature of BSA in t...

Acquired tolerance to BSA in rabbits was terminated following the injection of certain preparations of altered BSA. Injections of Freund's adjuvant containing BSA complexed to anti-BSA, heat-denatured BSA, acetyl-BSA, picryl-BSA, or arsanil-BSA failed to terminate the tolerant state. Except in an occasional tolerant rabbit, injections of these preparations failed to cause the production of prec...

An indirect immunoassay for detecting antigen was developed. It was based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and quenching of gold nanoparticles. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as model antigen. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was attached to anti-BSA antibody (anti-BSA–FITC) as FRET donor, while BSA was conjugated to gold nanoparticles (GNPs–BSA) as FRET acceptor. The fo...
