The Effects of Purified Artemia Extract Proteins on Proliferation, Differentiation and Apoptosis of Human Leukemic HL-60 Cells.

There has been an increment in the number of studies focused on marine bioactive materials. Many peptides and other biomaterials with anticancer potential have been extracted from various marine animals. Artemia extracts have found uses in sun-light protection cosmetics and anti-aging products.

Evaluation of the biological activity of human growth hormone by enzyme linked immuno-receptor assay (ELIRA) method.

The aim of this research was to study the application and effectiveness of Enzyme Linked Immuno Receptor Assay (ELIRA) method for understanding the bioactivity of human Growth Hormone (hGH) in micro-titer plates. For this purpose, rabbit hepatocyte microsomes which contained hGH receptors were used for coating of ELISA micro-titer plates. Then hGH was interacted with coated receptors.

Induced apoptosis by mild hyperthermia occurs via telomerase inhibition on the three human myeloid leukemia cell lines: TF-1, K562, and HL-60.

The purpose of this research was to understand the effect of hyperthermia on the telomerase activity in human leukemic cell lines (HL-60, K562, and TF-1). The cells were treated by hyperthermia at the range of 41-44 degrees C for 120 min and incubated for 96 h. Then telomerase activity, cell proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed.
