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

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 ...

Immunocytochemical Phenotyping of Disseminated Tumor Cells in Bone Marrow by uPA Receptor and CK18: Investigation of Sensitivity and Specificity of an Immunogold/Alkaline Phosphatase Double Staining Protocol [PDF]
Phenotyping of cytokeratin (CK) 18-positive cells in bone marrow is gaining increasing importance for future prognostic screening of carcinoma patients. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPA-R) is one example of a potential aggressive marker

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

New approaches for the control and eradication of schistosomiasis in Venezuela
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.

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

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

The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory process seen in association with a large number of clinical infective and noninfective conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of anti‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin–4 (IL–4), interleukin–10 (IL–10), and transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐beta ...

Analysis of Receptors for Cytokines and Growth Factors in Human Disease
The physiological importance of cytokines and other factors which control cell and tissue growth and differentiation is widely appreciated. While physiological studies have included the cellular receptors for these factors, studies on their role in disease have concentrated on the measurement of cytokines themselves or soluble receptor components. This
