Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has various applications in blood group serology and different research purposes. In this study purification of BSA has been compared with human serum albumin (HSA) using modified ethanol precipitation method based on the method of Cohn. The purification process was carried out under controlled conditions, particularly of ethanol concentration, pH, ionic strength and temperature. It was revealed that the produced BSA and HSA have purity more than 95%. It is obvious that HSA can be used, as a drug when the amount of its polymers is less than 5% whereas polymer generation is required in order to enhance the potentiating properties of BSA in agglutination of red cells. We propose here a simple and rapid two-step method for simultaneously purification and polymerization of BSA. By this method simply BSA with desired amount of polymers was obtained by 40% ethanol concentration. 相似文献

Leishmaniasis is a worldwide uncontrolled parasitic disease due to the lack of effective drug and vaccine. To speed up effective drug development, we need powerful methods to rapidly assess drug effectiveness against the intracellular form of Leishmania in high throughput assays. Reporter gene technology has proven to be an excellent tool for drug screening in vitro. The effects of reporter proteins on parasite infectivity should be identified both in vitro and in vivo. In this research, we initially compared the infectivity rate of recombinant Leishmania major expressing stably enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) alone or EGFP-luciferase (EGFP-LUC) with the wild-type strain. Next, we evaluated the sensitivity of these parasites to amphotericin B (AmB) as a standard drug in 2 parasitic phases, promastigote and amastigote. This comparison was made by MTT and nitric oxide (NO) assay and by quantifying the specific signals derived from reporter genes like EGFP intensity and luciferase activity. To study the amastigote form, both B10R and THP-1 macrophage cell lines were infected in the stationary phase and were exposed to AmB at different time points. Our results clearly revealed that the 3 parasite lines had similar in vitro infectivity rates with comparable parasite-induced levels of NO following interferon-γ/lipopolysaccharide induction. Based on our results we proposed the more reporter gene, the faster and more sensitive evaluation of the drug efficiency. 相似文献

Liver injury is a deleterious adverse effect associated with methimazole administration, and reactive intermediates are suspected to be involved in this complication. Glyoxal is an expected reactive intermediate produced during methimazole metabolism. Current investigation was undertaken to evaluate the role of carnosine, metformin, and N‐acetyl cysteine as putative glyoxal (carbonyl) traps, against methimazole‐induced hepatotoxicity. Methimazole (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) was administered to intact and/or glutathione (GSH)?depleted mice and the role of glyoxal trapping agents was investigated. Methimazole caused liver injury as revealed by an increase in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Moreover, lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation occurred significantly in methimazole?treated animals’ liver. Hepatic GSH reservoirs were decreased, and inflammatory cells infiltration was observed in liver histopathology. Methimazole?induced hepatotoxicity was severe in GSH‐depleted mice and accompanied with interstitial hemorrhage and necrosis of the liver. Glyoxal trapping agents effectively diminished methimazole‐induced liver injury both in intact and/or GSH?depleted animals. 相似文献

In this research, production of probiotic pomegranate juice through its fermentation by four strains of lactic acid bacteria:
Lactobacillus plantarum, L. delbruekii, L. paracasei, L. acidophilus was examined. Fermentation was carried out at 30°C for 72 h under microaerophilic conditions. Microbial population, pH, titrable
acidity, sugar and organic acid metabolism were measured during the fermentation period and the viability of all strains was
also determined during the storage time at 4°C within 4 weeks. The results indicated that L. plantarum and L. delbruekii increased the pH sharply at the initial stages of fermentation and the sugar consumption was also higher in comparison with
other strains, better microbial growth was also observed for these two strains during fermentation. Citric acid, as a major
organic acid in pomegranate juice was significantly consumed by all probiotic lactic acid bacteria. L. plantarum and L. delbruekii showed higher viability during the storage time. Viable cells remained at their maximum level within 2 weeks but decreased
dramatically after 4 weeks. Pomegranate juice was proved to be a suitable media for production of a fermented probiotic drink. 相似文献

Antibody and T cell receptor genes are assembled from gene segments by V(D)J recombination to produce an almost infinitely diverse repertoire of antigen specificities. Recombination is initiated by cleavage of conserved recombination signal sequences (RSS) by RAG1 and RAG2 during lymphocyte development. Recent evidence demonstrates that recombination can occur at noncanonical RSS sites within Ig genes or at other loci, outside the context of normal lymphocyte receptor gene rearrangement. We have characterized the ability of the RAG proteins to bind and cleave a cryptic RSS (cRSS) located within an Ig V(H) gene segment. The RAG proteins bound with sequence specificity to either the consensus RSS or the cRSS. The RAG proteins nick the cRSS on both the top and bottom strands, thereby bypassing the formation of the DNA hairpin intermediate observed in RAG cleavage of canonical RSS substrates. We propose that the RAG proteins may utilize an alternative mechanism for double-stranded DNA cleavage, depending on the substrate sequence. These results have implications for further diversification of the antigen receptor repertoire as well as the role of the RAG proteins in genomic instability. 相似文献

Adiponectin which possesses anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties is elevated in blood circulation of liver
cirrhosis patients. The genetic variations in the adiponectin gene can affect the circulating adiponectin level and stimulation
of adiponectin receptor that may affect the activity of adiponectin. We investigated the effect of adiponectin single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNP) 45 T/G and adiponectin receptor-2 gene SNP 795G/A in cirrhotic Iranian population. A total of 97 cirrhotic
patients and 128 healthy controls from Iranian population were genotyped for the adiponectin and adiponectin receptor 2 gene
(+45T>G and 795G/A) by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. G frequency was 21.1% versus 12.89%
(P = 0.001) for SNP45, and G frequency was 75.8% versus 76.2% (P = 0.526) for SNP795G/A in the patients and control group, respectively. Based on our findings, the expression of the G allele
at SNP45 is higher in the patient group compared with healthy subjects, suggesting that it may affect liver injury through
changes in the plasma adiponectin level. 相似文献

Most of the modulating effects of cannabinoids on pain are through putative cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors. However, the
involvement of other receptors is also suggested. Cannabinoid compounds with analgesic activity such as palmitoylethanolamide
(PEA) show low affinity to CB1 and CB2 receptors, yet selectively activate GPR55 receptors. The objective of the present study
was to evaluate the possible role of spinal CB1 and GPR55 receptors on antinociceptive activity of PEA in formalin test as
well as in the spinal expression of IL1-β in rat. Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of PEA (1, 10 μg) significantly decreased
both pain-related scores in formalin test and IL1-β expression in rat spinal cord. Pretreatment of rats with low doses of
CB1 receptor antagonist/GPR55 receptor agonist AM251 (10, 100 ng; i.t.), did not attenuated the effect of PEA, yet even significantly
increased the effect of PEA on IL1-β expression in rat spinal cord. Interestingly, i.t. administration of low doses of AM251
per se significantly decreased both pain related behavior and spinal IL1-β expression in formalin test. These findings suggest
the possible involvement of receptors other than CB1 receptors in spinal pain pathways, such as GPR55, in pain modulating
activity of cannabinoids. 相似文献
