Concomitant administration of Theophylline and Oxamniquine in rats: Effects on Theophylline clearance
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine, 1998)Asiatic acid (AA) is a pentacyclic triterpene found in Centella asiatica. In the present study, the mechanism of anticancer effect of AA on skin cancer was investigated. AA decreased viability and induced apoptosis in human ... -
A New Synthesis of Benzo (1, 2-b: 5, 4-b1) Difuran (Preliminary Work)
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, 1970-06-05)The activity of the benzodifuran stimulated a study by Worden and co-workers in which some methylsubstituted linear benzodifurans were prepared and screened for erythemal activity (negative response). The parent benzodifuran ... -
Routine assessment of hormonal receptor and her-2/neu status underscores the need for more therapeutic targets in Kenyan women with breast cancer.
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Human Pathology, 2006)OBJECTIVE: To report the expression of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor (Her-2/neu) in 158 Kenyan women with breast cancer and correlation with other prognostic indicators ... -
Demonstration of cross-reactive antigens in F38 and related mycoplasmas by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting.
(1985)The ELISA and an immunoblotting technique were used to study F38-type mycoplasmas - an important cause of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia - and a number of related mycoplasma species, subspecies, types or serogroups. Two-way ... -
Evidence for two single copy units in Theileria parva ribosomal RNA genes.
(International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases (ILRAD), Nairobi, Kenya.College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1994)Bacteriophage clones containing ribosomal RNA genes of Theileria parva were isolated from genomic DNA libraries. Physical mapping studies revealed 2 ribosomal DNA units, which were distinguishable by restriction enzyme ... -
Characterisation of single domain ATP-binding cassette protien homologues of Theileria parva.
(International Livestock Research Institute, Nairobi, Kenya., 2001)Two distinct genes encoding single domain, ATP-binding cassette transport protein homologues of Theileria parva were cloned and sequenced. Neither of the genes is tandemly duplicated. One gene, TpABC1, encodes a predicted ... -
Transcriptional regulation of two stage-specifically expressed genes in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
(Equipe de Parasitologie Moléculaire UGSF-IFR 118, CNRS UMR 8576 Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, 2005)The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii differentially expresses two distinct enolase isoenzymes known as ENO1 and ENO2, respectively. To understand differential gene expression during tachyzoite to bradyzoite conversion, ... -
The use of a recombinant baculovirus expressing a chitinase from the hard tick Haemaphysalis longicornis and its potential application as a bioacaricide for tick control
(College of Health Sciences, University of NairobiNational Research Center for Protozoan Disease, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Obihiro, Hokkaido, 080-8555, Japan, 2006)Baculoviruses are specific insect pathogens used as selective biological insecticides on lepidopteran insects. We have tested a recombinant baculovirus expressing a chitinase gene for its efficacy as a tick bioacaricide. ... -

Effects of wisanine and dihydrowisanine on aggressive behaviour in chicks.
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine,University of Nairobi, 1993-11)The effects of wisanine and dihydrowisanine were studied on stereotyped and aggressive behaviour induced by apomorphine (0.5 mg/kg s.c.) in chicks. Pretreatment of chicks with wisanine (0.3-0.6 g/kg i.p.) and dihydrowisanine ...
