DIFFERENTIAL AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY COUPLED TO MASS SPECTROMETRY: A SUITABLE TOOL TO IDENTIFY COMMON BINDING PROTEINS OF A BROAD-RANGE ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE DERIVED FROM LEUCINOSTATIN

Differential Affinity Chromatography Coupled to Mass Spectrometry: A Suitable Tool to Identify Common Binding Proteins of a Broad-Range Antimicrobial Peptide Derived from Leucinostatin

Leucinostatins are antimicrobial peptides with a broad range of activities against infectious agents as well as mammalian cells.The leucinostatin-derivative peptide ZHAWOC_6027 (peptide 6027) was tested in vitro and in vivo for activity against the intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.While highly efficacious in vitro (EC50 = 2 nM)

Effect of zinc phosphate chemical conversion coating on corrosion behaviour of mild steel in alkaline medium: protection of rebars in reinforced concrete

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained by chemical conversion, to protect mild BLOND STUDIO 7 steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media.The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, were evaluated

Omalizumab and IgE in the Control of Severe Allergic Asthma

Omalizumab, a human immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 antibody against IgE, is a therapeutic agent for bronchial asthma.The Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines indicate that the use of omalizumab should be considered as an option in step 5 of treatment for patients with the most severe type of bronchial asthma.In patients with atopic asthma who are at a hi
