EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPapain, a Plant Enzyme of Biological Importance: A ReviewFlorence Mamboya, Ezekiel AmriPapain is a plant proteolytic enzyme for the cysteine proteinase family cysteine protease enzyme in which enormous progress has been made to understand its functions. Papain is found naturally in papaya (Carica papaya L.) manufactured from the latex of raw papaya fruits. The enzyme is able to break down organic molecules made of amino acids, known as polypeptides and thus … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 44,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectroanalytical Determination of Doripenem using a Screen-Printed ElectrodeNora H. Al-ShaalanProblem statement: The performance characteristics of Sensitive Screen-Printed (SPE) and Carbon Paste (CPE) electrodes were investigated for the Determination of Doripenem (DP) in pure, pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. Approach: The proposed electrodes is characterized in terms of plasticizer type, response time, pH and temperature. Results: The two electrodes showed nearly Nernstian behaviours over the concentration range of 2×10−4-5×10−2 mol/l … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaugmentative Approaches for Dairy Wastewater TreatmentIrina Schneider, Yana TopalovaProblem statement: The achievement of a good ecological status of water receivers after discharge of waste or partially treated water from dairy industry requires harmonic interaction between water treatment technology and self-purification processes. Approach: The present research included two modules. First: an anaerobic treatment process for dairy wastewater in broadly spread sequencing batch bioreactor with fixed biomass was studied. As … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 8,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Effect of Different Functional Microbial Agents on the Biological Characteristics and Rhizosphere Enzyme Activity of Hydroponic CucumberCe Wang, Ouya Zhao, Shiyou Sun et al.This study aims to comprehensively explore the effect of functional microbial agents on healthy soil cultivation and attempt to increase cucumber yield. Three different microbial agents were used for cucumber seedlings by virtue of the hydroponic cultivation method in order to study their effects on enzyme activity and seedling growth and reveal the relationship between rhizosphere enzyme activity and carbon, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2025 · 5,510 accessesView PDFCite
