bromelain/sarcoma

Quantitative binding of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) of different antigenic subgroups to chicken cells was examined by using a laser flow cytometer/cell sorter. RSV of subgroups A, C, and E, labeled with the fluorescent membrane probe rhodamine-18, bound 2 to 10 times more to genetically susceptible

Stem bromelain (EC 3.4.22.32) is a major cysteine proteinase, isolated from pineapple ( Ananas comosus) stem. Its main medicinal use is recognized as digestive, in vaccine formulation, antitumoral and skin debrider for the treatment of burns. To verify the identity of the principle in stem fractions

Lymphoproliferative disease virus of turkeys (LPDV), a C-type retrovirus, was shown to contain 3 major [32 kilodaltons (kd, p 32), 26 kd, 22/21 kd] and 2 minor (41 kd and 12 kd) polypeptides. Preliminary evidence suggests a glycoprotein of 76 kd (GP 76) and a major doublet polypeptide of 13.5/13 kd

Hitherto, detection of lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), a C-type retrovirus of turkeys, has proved difficult since no tissue culture or serological assay has been available. Development of serological tests has been hampered by the problems of raising virus-specific antisera. An indirect

Osteosarcoma or osteogenic sarcoma is the most common and prevalent cancerous tumor of bone and occurs especially in children and teens. Recent treatment strategy includes a combination of both chemotherapy and surgeries. Although, the use of single drug-based chemotherapy treatment remains

In order to maximize staining, modifications of immunostaining methods have included proteolytic enzyme digestion of tissue. The authors performed a study of the effect of ficin in 110 paraffinized specimens, including tonsil, lymph nodes, benign vascular and nerve sheath tumors, and various
