some enzymes used in diagnostic kits. Testing the serum content is a very useful tool in the clinical diagnosis in general. Normally the enzymes are present inside the cells and the enzyme activity in the serum is very low. As the tissue gets damaged‚ due to a disease or infection‚ enzymes can be released from the damaged cells into the serum. As enzymes are biological catalysts‚ the detection of the presence and the activity of them in the serum is relatively easy‚ comparing to other types of substrates

CELL TRANSPORT MECHANISMS AND PERMEABILITY Zack Johnson Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 2101 Instructor: Alan Byboth‚ M.S. 10/4/12 Abstract- The cell is invaluable building block of all biological life on this planet‚ and one of its most important and unique characteristics is its ability to be selectively permeable with its plasma membrane. This outer membrane’s sophisticated mechanisms of transport through its bilayer are vital in maintaining homeostasis in the cell and the entire

to detect or chek presence of cancers generaly. these biochemical indicators are abnormal molecules secreted by the tumor celssand they are included surface anitigens‚ cytoplasmic proteins‚ enzymes and hormones. These markers are measured from the serum and are used in screening tests of the population to evaluate presence of cancer. These markers are also important in supporting diagnosis of cancers. And also in addition they are used in monitoring response of the therapies and the detection of recurrence

1. Introduction People still die from diabetic ketoacidosis. Poor patient education is probably the most important determinant of the incidence of the catastrophe that constitutes "DKA". In several series‚ only about a fifth of patients with DKA are first-time presenters with recently acquired Type I diabetes mellitus. The remainder are recognised diabetics who are either noncompliant with insulin therapy‚ or have serious underlying illess that precipitates DKA. Most such

Reality of Vaccinations Making critical decisions can be brutally tormenting when it comes to one’s health. We as humans do not like to decide health issues for ourselves. We would rather have an expert‚ like a doctor‚ tell us what is best for one and what will go into one’s body whether it be medicines‚ foods‚ herbs‚ chemicals‚ or vaccinations. If one is a parent it is more difficult to make decisions for a loved one’s health than their own. No one intentionally wants their loved ones to suffer

of Methods: To accomplish this objective‚ each pair of lab partners received an E. Coli lysate sample which we had to thaw by warming it with our hands and centrifuge it. We extracted a total of 12 samples with known concentrations of bovine serum albumin and 10 samples of different amounts of lysate put into them. Using the different assays explained later in this report‚ we could plot a standard curve with the different amount of BSA concentrations on the x-axis as the independent variable and

Title: Immunology Aim: To visit a microbiology department at the university hospital and acquire detailed information of various antigen-antibody tests eg. ASO‚ haemotoglutination‚ ELISA etc. Method: To listen to presentation made and thus formulate a concise report on that which was discussed and demonstrated. (Please see BC34D Laboratory Manual for more information) Concise Report/Summery: The term serology refers to both the study of general antigen-antibody reactions in a laboratory

and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient has an infectious or an autoimmune disease. In this particular exercise‚ the sample blood is collected from three different patients. And after‚ separating the red blood cells and serum‚ a serum was used to perform the ELISA test. a. ELISA Test ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." An ELISA test uses components of the immune system and chemicals to detect immune responses in the body‚ such as infectious

This is done by injecting the patient’s serum or stool into the peritoneal cavity of mice. An equal amount of serum or stool from the patient is treated with multivalent antitoxin and injected in other mice. If the antitoxin-treated serum- or stool-injected mice live while those injected with untreated serum or stool die‚ then this is a positive test for botulism and is called the mouse inoculation test. The bacteria can also
