Evaluation of an enzyme immunoassay and immunodiffusion for detection of anti-Histoplasma antibodies in serum from cats and dogs. [PDF]
Abstract Background Histoplasma antigen and anti‐Histoplasma antibody detection are used to support the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. There is a paucity of published data on antibody assays. Objectives Our primary hypothesis was that anti‐Histoplasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody detection using enzyme immunoassay (EIA) will be more sensitive as ...

Comparative Snake Venom Analysis for Facilitating Wildlife Forensics: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
Confirm and authentic identification of species is required for the implementation of wildlife laws in cases of illegal trafficking of snake venoms. Illegally trafficked snake venom might be misidentified with other drugs of abuse, and sometimes, the species of venom‐yielding snake cannot be verified. Snake venoms from medically important snake species,

Örjan Ouchterlony and the antigen-antibody double diffusion-in-gel: a survey. [PDF]
The Swedish scientist Örjan Ouchterlony published four ground‐breaking papers 1948–1966 in Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand where he described a new method of antigen–antibody reactions in gel. He described and defined the ‘reaction of identity’ and ‘reaction of partial identity’ when he used related antigens and ‘reaction of non‐identity’ when he used non ...

Clinical characteristics of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by Schizophyllum commune. [PDF]
Abstract Background Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is an allergic disease caused by type I and type III hypersensitivity to environmental fungi. Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycete fungus, is one of the most common fungi that causes non‐Aspergillus ABPM.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with atopic, nonatopic, and sans asthma—Factor analysis
Japanese patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) were categorized into three groups according to the predisposing conditions: ABPA sans asthma (no preceding asthma or cystic fibrosis), ABPA with atopic asthma, and ABPA with nonatopic asthma.

Immunological studies on the membrane systems of cancer cells. II. Immunochemical specificity of the mitochondria from chemical carcinogen induced carcinoma cells [PDF]
As the results of investigating the antigenicities of various fractions from the membrane systems of cancer cells, it has been found that the remarkable cancer-specific antigenicity exists in cancer cell mitochondria.

Mammalian browsers frequently encounter secondary metabolites such as tannins. Browsers may bind these tannins using salivary proteins, while mammalian grazers likely would not. Controlling for phylogeny, we ran inhibition radial diffusion assays of the saliva of 28 species of African herbivores (browsers, grazers, ruminants, and nonruminants) that ...
