Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a severe familial disease in both the pig and the human, with 70% fatality when fully expressed in humans. MH produces rapid elevation of temperature in response to stresses, of which there are two general kinds: Societal or emotional stress, and chemical stressors.
The avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) immunocytochemical procedure was used to locate Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus antigen in infected Aedes albopictus C6/36 cultured cells and in serial paraffin sections of intrathoracically-injected Egyptian Culex pipiens. Fixation of the cultured cells in
Titers of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus were estimated by counting foci stained with peroxidase-antiperoxidase or by using immunofluorescence methods. Foci stained with PAP were clearer and easier to count. The peroxidase-antiperoxidase method showed a linear relationship between virus
BHK-21 cells infected with dengue virus type 1 were stained by a newly developed 4 step PAP (peroxidase-anti-peroxidase) technique using sera from patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever as anti-virus antibody. The intensity of staining of the sera was proportional to the hemagglutination inhibition
Pretreatment with recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha (rhIL-1 alpha) 20 h before irradiation attenuates radiation-induced hyperthermia. Experiments were conducted to determine the role of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) in rhIL-1
We determined the differential expression levels of proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Proteins were subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis. We identified 8 proteins
The neutralizing peroxidase-linked antibody ( NPLA ) assay was standardized and compared with the micro-plaque reduction test (PRT) on series of sera from pigs infected with different strains of swine fever virus (SFV) and bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV), swine fever reference sera and field
An enzyme-linked immunoassay was developed for diagnosing enteric fever. The test measured the inhibition of binding between a labelled, monoclonal IgM antibody and the insolubilized antigen, Salmonella typhi lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Good discrimination was seen between 32 proven typhoid cases
Currently, the accepted method for Q fever serodiagnosis is indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (IFA) using the whole cell antigen. In this study, we prepared the recombinant antigen of the 27-kDa outer membrane protein (Com1) which has been shown to be recognized by Q fever patient sera. The
Classical swine fever (CSF) is an endemic disease in India, but the real magnitude of the problem is not known as only outbreaks of acute CSF are reported and many cases of chronic and clinically inapparent forms of the disease, which manifest a confusing clinical picture, remain undiagnosed. The
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) infection is a severe swine disease, often causing large economic losses. A Pichia pastoris yeast-expressed CSFV glycoprotein E2 (yE2) has been shown to induce a protective immune response against the virus. To improve the expression level of yE2, the first codon
We investigated the morphological effect of hyperthermia on the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The heads of rats were heated locally using flood-lamps. BBB changes were assessed morphologically with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Histological examinations were carried out 2 and 6 h, 1 and 3 days, and 1
On 11 August 1999, an outbreak of classical swine fever (CSF) occurred in the municipality of San Carlos in the State of Tamaulipas, located on the United States-Mexico border. Sixty-eight dead and two sick pigs from a village were reported to the animal health authorities; tissue samples of sick
Objective Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder that is frequently seen in the eastern Mediterranean region. The thyroid gland can be affected in FMF patients through autoimmunity or amyloidosis. Here, we aimed to evaluate the structure and functions
OBJECTIVE
We investigated whether there was a significant increase in thyroid autoimmunity in patients with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
METHODS
In total, 220 patients, consisting of 42 with FMF, 75 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 103 healthy controls, were enrolled. Serum
