Identification And Estimation Of A Cholinomimetic Substance In The Venom Of Dendroaspis Polylepis Res. Commun. Chem. Pathol. Pharmacol.
(Department of biochemistry, university of Nairobi, 1982)A cholinomimetic substance was isolated from desiccated venom of Dendroaspis polylepis by one-dimensional ascending paper chromatography. The migratory and staining properties of the substance were compared with those of ... -
Identification and estimation of an acetylcholine-like substance in the venom of Dendroaspis jamesoni
(College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1977)An acetylcholine-like substance was isolated from desiccated Jameson's mamba venom by one-dimensional ascending paper chromatography. The migratory and staining properties of the substance were identical with those of ... -
Identification and isolation of three acetylcholinesterase inactivating fractions in the venom of Dendroaspis angusticeps.
(University of NairobiCollege of Health Sciences, 1982)Three fractions were isolated from the venom of Dendroaspis angusticeps by column chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-25. All the three fractions were shown to possess acetylcholinesterase inhibiting activity. The toxicity of ... -
Identification and nutritional importance of indigenous green leaf vegetables in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1985)Species identified include Amaranthus hybridus [cruentus], Crotalaria brevidens, Solanum nigrum, Gynandropsis gynandra and Erucastrum arabicum. They normally grow wild in most parts of Kenya and the leaves are used as ... -
Identification And Sequence Characterization Of Novel Theileria Genotypes From The Waterbuck (kobus Defassa) In A Theileria Parva-endemic Area In Kenya
(Universty of Nairobi, 2014-03)Waterbuck (Kobus defassa), an ungulate species endemic to the Eastern African savannah, is suspected of being a wildlife reservoir for tick-transmitted parasites infective to livestock. Waterbuck are infested by large ... -
Identification and Sorting of Materials With Portable Libs Before Decommissioning
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique of elemental analysis. A laser beam is focused on the surface of the sample to be analyzed. A small quantity of matter is ablated and a plasma formed by the ... -
Identification Key for Aspergillus Species Isolated from Maize and Soil of Nandi County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The aim of this study was to identify Aspergillus species isolated from maize kernels and soils of maize fields of Nandi County using macro and micro morphological characteristics. A cross sec- tional research design was ... -

Identification of a novel B. gibsoni 27-kDa protein as a serodiagnostic antigen
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology & Toxicology, University of Nairobi, 2008)A novel gene encoding 27-kDa protein was identified by the screening of Babesia gibsoni cDNA library with acutely infected dog serum. The BgP27 is a single copy gene with a predicted open reading frame of 762 bp and 254 ... -
Identification of a novel HLA B*57 restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope within HIV-1 rev
(University of Nairobi,College of Health Sciences,, 2006)HLA-B5701 and its related allele B5703 have been shown to be strongly associated with slow HIV-1 disease progression. To elucidate the effect of these alleles fully on disease progression it is essential to identify key ... -
Identification of a putative structural gene for cathepsin D in Caenorhabditis elegans.
(Department of Biological Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15260., 1988)Mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans having about 10% of wild-type activity of the aspartyl protease cathepsin D have been isolated by screening. Mutant homozygotes have normal growth rates and no obvious morphological or ... -
