aegypti Salivary Extract Antibody Concentration to Correlate Risk of Vector Exposure and Dengue Transmission Risk in Colombia. Norte de Santander is a region in Colombia with a high incidence of dengue virus (DENV). In this study‚ we examined the serum concentration of anti-Aedes salivary gland extract (SGE) antibodies as a biomarker of DENV infection and transmission‚ and assessed the duration of anti-SGE antibody concentration after exposure to the vector ceased. We also determined whether SGE

wherein the antigen which needs to test for first is added on to every well of the microtiter plate. Then a solution which contains the non reactive protein like casein or the bovine serum albumin is introduced to stop any further changes that had not drawn the interest protein‚ which is called the blocking step. Next the serum is introduced on which is known to contain the antibodies that is special only for the antigen that has been added on originally. This is called secondary antibody and it recognizes

studies showed that aluminum chloride increases both BUN and SCr [11‚13‚ 18‚ 20]. In present study aluminum chloride was used for 28 days while the other studies use aluminum for longer period of time. This might explain why there was no change in serum creatinine in the present study. Recently‚ it was found that aluminum chloride administered for 40 days increases BUN and SCr and decreases urine volume and creatinine clearance [20]. This was accompanied by increased renal OS and inflammation. This

Title: Bradford Assay: Creating a Standard Curve and Determining Unknown Protein Concentrations Introduction: In biochemistry the ability to determine the quantity of a certain substance in a solution is extremely important. Often protein concentration within a biological organism is essential in determining the function or condition of that organism. If the protein concentration in an environment is increased or decreased it can have detrimental side effects. If there is a decrease in hemoglobin

CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8.8 and stacking gel‚ prepared
