Jaundice (also known as icterus;[1] from the Greek word ίκτερος‚ attributive adjective: icteric) is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin‚ the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae (whites of the eyes)‚ and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood).[2] This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluid. Concentration of bilirubin in blood plasma is normally below 1.2 mg/dL (50µmol/L) leads to

HAEMAGGLUTINATION TEST ■ Haemagglutinin proteins (H-16) has the ability to agglutinate the Red Blood Cell which is an indicator of the presence of virus. ■ Magnitude of the agglutination depends on quantity of virus. ■ Two fold serial dilution of the suspected virus material in P.B.S is treated with 1% washed R.B.C.s. ■ Virus agglutination can be seen in micro titration plates. ■ Reciprocal of the last virus dilution giving agglutination is Haemagglutination titer

It must be supplied by the diet. It can be made from fat in the body. It can be made from glucose in the body. Question 3 of 30 Which of the following describes a process in protein synthesis? The code to make a protein is carried by a strand of messenger RNA. The final step in completing the protein is carried out in the mitochondria. The function of transfer RNA is to assist in absorption of amino acids into the cell. The DNA binds to ribosomes and directs uptake of specific
