Characterization of a 19,000 mol. wt. flagellum-specific protein of Trypanosoma cruzi, T. dionisii and T. vespertilionis by a monoclonal antibody.

The flagellum-specific monoclonal antibody VESP 9.1 raised against Trypanosoma vespertilionis reacts with a single protein band of 19,000 mol. wt.

Purification of metacyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma dionisii from culture using an epimastigote-specific monoclonal antibody.

Monoclonal antibodies which react with culture forms of Trypanosoma dionisii and Trypanosoma cruzi were tested for their agglutination capacity. In these studies developmental stage specificity for the epimastigote form could be observed. This specificity meant it was possible to develop a quick and simple method to isolate cultured metacyclic trypomastigotes of T.

Differentiation of Trypanosoma cruzi, T. cruzi marinkellei, T. dionisii and T. vespertilionis by monoclonal antibodies.

Anti-T. dionisii and anti-T. vespertilionis monoclonal antibodies secreted by 17 hybridoma clones were tested against various strains of T.

The removal of hypnotic drugs from human serum. A comparative investigation of the adsorptive properties of native and agarose-encapsulated resins and charcoal.

The adsorptive capacities of some ion-exchange resins and activated charcoal towards the hypnotic drugs, phenobarbital, glutethimide, carbromal, and methaqualone, have been investigated. Furthermore, the properties of some of these resins and charcoal, encapsulated in an agarose matrix in the form of beads, have been compared with those of the adsorbent phases in their native states. In general, the adsorptive capacities of charcoal were at least as good as, and frequently better than those of the resins.
