Detection of antibodies against Borrelia afzelii spirochete in stallions from Kocevje region
In the period February 2000?August 2001, sera from horses from the Dolnja Briga farm, Koeevje, were examined for the presence of antibodies against Borrelia afzelii (B. afzelii), one of the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis. B. afzelii-specific antibodies in horse sera were detected by an indirect ELISA test. Results obtained from the sera were compared and a significant increase in the ...

Radiobiology worker risk assessment using stress indicators and proteomics
Radiology is an essential technology in medicine and is used for organ diagnosis, radio–tracing and radiotherapy. The risks for the radiobiology workers have not been assessed sufficiently because measuring instruments fail to detect very low doses. This paper presents an investigation on the potential risks for radiobiology workers, due to the occupational exposure to low doses of irradiation. ...

Cyanobacterial Toxins Detected by Thamnotoxkit (a Double Blind Experiment)
Abstract: The Thamnotoxkit FTM was evaluated for detecting cyanobacterial toxins compared with the rat hepatocyte test and mouse test. This test kit is a 24-hour biosassay using larvae of the freshwater anostracan crustaceanThamnocephalus platyurus hatched from cysts. Thirteen freeze-dried cyanobacterial samples from freshwaters of Hungary, Germany and Brazil, and strains from the culture ...

Validation of an extraction method for Cry1Ab protein from soil
Corn expressing insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt corn) has increased in usage in the United States from 8% of total corn acreage in 1996 to 67% in 2012. Due to this increase, it is important to be able to monitor the fate and transport of the insecticidal Bt proteins to evaluate environmental exposure and effects. Accurate and validated methods are needed to ...
