Plasmapheresis

 Plasmapheresis

- Souti Das



 In this experiment, the dog is rendered hypoproteinaemic by repeatedly withdrawing whole blood and injecting back the cellular elements of the blood (suspended in Ringer-Locke solution). This process is repeated daily till the level of plasma proteins fails to 4g/100 ml. Thereafter different standard diets are given and their effects on protein synthesis are studied. Following conclusions have been drawn from this experiment:

• Dietary proteins are essential for synthesis of plasma proteins.

• Chemical resemblance of food protein amino acid with those of the plasma proteins to be synthesized determines their efficacy to synthesize a particular protein.

• Essential amino acid must be present in the diet for the satisfactory synthesis of plasma proteins.

• Dietary proteins of animal origin favours albumin synthesis.

• Dietary proteins of plant origin favours globulin synthesis.

• Regeneration of plasma proteins occurs within 14 days.

• Rate of regeneration of plasma protein is very fast within first 24 hours.

INTRODUCTION TO RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY(RDT) WITH ITS STEP AND APPLICATION

  INTRODUCTION TO RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY(RDT) - Devlina Sarkar v What is Recombinant DNA technology ? RDT is a series of procedures that is used to join together (recombine) DNA segments from different organisms and inserting it into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations. v What is called Recombinant DNA ? Recombinant DNA (rDNA) is   m olecules  of  DNA  from two different species that are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry. Recombinant DNA in a living organism was first achieved in 1973 by  Herbert Boyer , of the University of California at San Francisco, and  Stanley Cohen , at Stanford University , who used   E. coli  restriction enzymes to insert foreign DNA into plasmids. v What is the basic use of RDT? Using RDT we can get a huge no of copies/clones of a particular gene or DNA(cloning) by usi...

COVID 19 - A brief details about COVID-19 , HISTORY, STRUCTURE, MODE OF TRANSMISSION, MODE OF ACTION and SYMPTOMS

 COVID-19 - Eishika Das,  -Soumyaprabha Ganguly HISTORY:  Coronavirus disease 2019  ( COVID-19 ) is an  infectious disease  caused by  severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2  (SARS-CoV-2) The disease was first identified in 2019 in  Wuhan , the capital of  Hubei , China, and has since spread globally, resulting in the  2019–20 coronavirus pandemic . According to the World Health Organization (WHO), viral diseases continue to emerge and represent a serious issue to public health. In the last twenty years, several viral epidemics such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2002 to 2003 beginning in China and involving two dozen countries with approximately 8000 cases and 800 deaths , and H1N1 influenza in 2009, have been recorded. Most recently, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 approximately 2,500 cases and 800...
