The Serum Concentrations of Chemokine CXCL12 and Its Specific Receptor CXCR4 in Patients with Esophageal Cancer

Disease Markers, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Objectives. Recent investigations have suggested that upregulated levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as chemokines, may be associated with development of many malignancies, including esophageal cancer (EC). Based on our knowledge, this study is the first to assess the serum concentration of chemokine CXCL12 and its specific receptor CXCR4 in the ...

Diagnostic Value of Adenosine Deaminase and Its Isoforms in Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Enzyme Research, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Background and Aims. In the present study, we have investigated the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) as a diagnostic marker in type 2 (or II) diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Design and Methods. The deaminase activity of ADA1 and ADA2 was determined in serum from 33 patients with type 2 (or II) diabetes mellitus and 35 healthy controls.

A simple technique for flat osmicating and flat embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections of the rat spinal cord for light and electron microscopy [PDF]

, 1996
We describe here a simple technique for flat-osmicating and flat-embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections. The technique is particularly useful for large specimens such as whole cross-sections of rat spinal cord.

Development of Pathological Diagnostics of Human Kidney Cancer by Multiple Staining Using New Fluorescent Fluolid Dyes

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
New fluorescent Fluolid dyes have advantages over others such as stability against heat, dryness, and excess light. Here, we performed simultaneous immunostaining of renal tumors, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, acquired cystic disease‐associated RCC (ACD‐RCC), and renal angiomyolipoma (AML), with primary ...

Performance of C. Diff Quik Chek Complete and RIDASCREEN immunoassays and lack of Ct value concordance between Allplex GI– Bacteria(I) and Xpert Clostridioides difficile assays: a diagnostic accuracy study

Annals of Clinical Microbiology
Background: Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), which detect glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and toxin A/B, are widely used to screen for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI); however, their sensitivity is lower than that of molecular assays.

New approaches for the control and eradication of schistosomiasis in Venezuela

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Schistosomiasis in Americawith the exception of Brazil, behaves as a chronic mild disease with few clinical manifestations due to low parasite burden. These features restrict the clinical and parasitological diagnosis.

Age‐related differentiations of Th1/Th2 cytokines in newborn infants

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 89-92, 2004., 2004
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate age‐related differentiation of immune response in newborns by measuring serum concentrations of interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) during the perinatal period. Subjects and methods: Fifty‐seven healthy term neonates, their mothers and 25 healthy adults (controls) age‐matched to the mothers were ...

Antibodies to Human Thymic Epithelium Form Part of the Murine Autoreactive Repertoire

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 75-93, 2001., 2001
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) MR6 recognises a 200 kDa glycoprotein, gp200‐MR6, which is expressed at high levels on the surface of human thymic cortical epithelium. In order to produce further mAbs against the gp200‐MR6 molecule, mice were immunised with purified human gp200‐MR6, hybridomas produced and supernatants screened for MR6‐like reactivity on ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Cellular Protein-Lipid Complex from Ascites Fluid Caused by Various Neoplasms [PDF]

, 1986
High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further ...
