Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) is typically presented with abundant monoclonal secretion of one type of immunoglobulin. The other classes of immunoglobulins, which are uninvolved and not secreted by malignant plasma cells, could be decreased. A number of previous studies reported the effect of suppression of uninvolved immunoglobulins on the outcome of patients with myeloma. However, its e...

background: early childhood caries (ecc) is one of the most common chronic child-hood diseases. in spite of the global decrease in dental caries in the past decades, ecc has become a significant problem in many developing countries and also in a few indus-trialized nations. saliva as a host factor can play an important role in the process of den-tal caries. objective: the aim of this study was ...

Chicken egg yolk antibodies (IgY) against camel immunoglobulins were generated and their specificity was shown by double immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and Western blotting. Anti camel antibodies specifically react to camel antibodies in immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis were demonstrated. Western blotting revealed that IgY antibodies recognize the heavy chain in a number of ma...
