These counteract the toxins (poisons) released by Pathogens -Antibodies- White blood cells release a chemical called an Antibody‚ which destroys the Pathogen. A unique antibody is released to destroy each type of Antibody * Mutations- Random/Naturally occurring changes which happen in the genes of organisms which change their characteristics * Immunity- Our white blood cells are

from 1550 patients experiencing a febrile illness clinically consistent with dengue infection. Serological confirmation of Dengue Infection was done using Dengue Duo IgM and IgG Rapid Strip test (Pan Bio‚ Australia)‚ which detected dengue-specific antibodies. Monthly data of total rainfall‚ temperature and relative humidity for the year 2003 was obtained from Meteorological Department of Delhi‚ New Delhi and retrospectively analyzed. Results: Out of 1550 suspected cases‚ 893 cases (57.36%) were confirmed

IVD Antibody Development Services for PPWD1 Marker PPWD1: Cyclophilins consist of one of the three classes of peptidylprolyl isomerases discovered in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms‚ together with viruses. Most of the seventeen human cyclophilins with the catalytic domain are in tandem with other domains‚ but many particular functions of a specific cyclophilin or its relevant domains remain unclear. The structure of the isomerase domain from a spliceosome-correlated cyclophilin‚ PPWD1 which

1. A few examples of things that can affect our growth and change throughout our lifetime are: telomeres‚ mutations‚ DNA and epigenetics. DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ the building block of life that provides the hereditary material that is a blueprint for living organisms. It determines our physical features which are passed on to us from our parents through 23 chromosomes. Genes determine height‚ hair color‚ eye color and many other traits. Genetic disorders occur because of

INTRODUCTION A major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancer is the development of resistance mechanisms to drug treatment. Various cellular changes that have been implicated in the development of drug resistance in cancer cells include: the increased expressions of P-glycoprotein (a multidrug transport protein) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP-1); increased levels of the cellular detoxification protein‚ glutathione; and changes in the expression of apoptosis associated
