patients own cell surface. Once these are binded they are recognized as intrinsic or extrinsic. During this phase the cells can act as antigen presenting cells. Another form of Type 2 hypersensitivity is called antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. (The reactions ran can take hours to a day.) Type 4 hypersensitivity which is an independent antibody and its reactions take 2 to 3 days. Unlike others‚ Type 4 hypersensitivity is not antibody mediated but is a type of cell mediated

Results RAPD and ISSR fingerprint In order to evaluate the efficiency of RAPD-PCR fingerprinting for Cajanus cajan L. cultivar‚ the DNA was used as templates for 7 RAPD primers banding modality. Total number of magnified fragments in the Cajanus cajan L. cultivar value of each primer was represented in Table 2. Total of 26 bands were obtained for all primers. The highest band number was produced with primer OP-A5 and OP-B4‚ while the lowest band number was created with primer OP-A13. The RAPD banding

Effector functions of antibodies Antibodies also known as immunoglobulins are secreted by plasma cells and B lymphocytes from the bone marrow and the lymphoid organs. The effector functions of antibodies are determined by the constant regions of the heavy chain. There are five different isotypes known in mammals to perform different roles and to direct a specific immune response for the antigen encountered. The binding of antigens to the variable regions will trigger the effector functions. Antibodies

3.8 Antibacterial properties Antibacterial property is another important property required for bone tissue engineering to eliminate bacterial infection in orthopedic implants which generally leads to implant failure. Table 4 showed antibacterial zone of inhibition of CMZH I-III and CZH against gram-positive bacteria Bacillus cereus and Lysinibacillus fusiformis and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli XL1B. It was observed that the antibacterial inhibition zone increased from CMZH I to CMZH III

spread is marked by rapidly progressive encephalitis. Thereafter‚ the virus spreads to the periphery and salivary glands. From the standpoint of diagnosis and therapeutic opportunities‚ it is important to understand that rabies does not cause cytotoxicity. Neuronal morphology and lifespan is normal throughout the course of the disease. Death occurs from global neurologic and organ dysfunction. The virion acts in the synaptic space‚ where homology in amino acid sequences between neurotransmitter

Often times the management of chronic wounds can become challenging for clinicians. In the article by Sibbald et al (1) they emphasize that wound healing should be achieved through an interprofessional team approach where the focus is holistic‚ focusing not only on the patient’s wound but on the patient as a whole. Once the cause of the wound is identified‚ the wound can be classified into three categories: healable‚ maintenance and non healable (1). Referring to the wound bed preparation paradigm
