Anaphylaxis caused by the unexpected presence of casein in salmon

A new process for restructured meat and fish has been introduced to the market recently. Its main compound is casein, and it may therefore endanger patients with a milk allergy. Chemicals/CAS: Anti-Inflammatory Agents; Caseins; Lactoglobulins; Methylprednisolone, 83-43-2

Evaluation of a bioimmuno assay for t-PA activity and its relation to PAI-1 activity and antigen levels

A chromogenic bioimmunoassay method for determination of t-PA activities has been evaluated on plasmas from healthy individuals and from thromboembolic patients. The assay consists of an initial binding and washing step, whereby plasma t-PA is bound to a specific monoclonal t-PA antibody, which is coated on to microplate wells, followed by a...

The radial immunodiffusion assay for plasma Histidine-rich Glycoprotein (HRG) based on a polyclonal antibody, shows a different specificity towards the two variants of a common amino acid polymorphism

Recently, two molecular weight forms of Histidine-rich Glycoprotein have been described which explain 59% of the variation in plasma HRG levels. Here, we demonstrate that this can partly be ascribed to a difference in specificity of the immuno assay for HRG towards the two alleles of the polymorphism.

Variant-specific monoclonal and group-specific polyclonal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 neutralizing antibodies raised with synthetic peptides from the gp120 third variable domain

The third variable (V3) domain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) external membrane glycoprotein gp120 is of crucial importance in eliciting neutralizing antibodies in infected persons. Polyclonal (PAb) and monoclonal (MAb) antibodies directed against selected epitopes in the V3 domain are valuable tools for analysis of the...
