Evaluation of two commercially available alternatives for HIV-1 viral load testing in resource-limited settings
(2007)There is an urgent need for low-cost assays for HIV-1 quantitation to ensure adequate follow-up of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited countries. Two low-cost viral load assays are ... -
Evaluation of Urinary Tubular Enzymes as Screening Markers of Renal Dysfunction in Patients Suffering from Diabetes Mellitus
(University of Nairobi,College of Health Sciences,, 2011)To determine the relationship between sub clinical kidney injury caused by diabetes mellitus and the levels of urinary enzymes; N-acetyl-1& -D-glucosaminidase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma ... -
Evaluation of urine CCA assays for detection for detection of Schistosoma mansoni infection in Western Kenya
(University of NairobiCollege of Health Science, 2011-01)Although accurate assessment of the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni is important for the design and evaluation of control programs, the most widely used tools for diagnosis are limited by suboptimal sensitivity, slow ... -
Evidence for a branched electron transport chain in Trypanosoma brucei
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1980)The flow of electrons the terminal oxidases present in the bloodstream and procyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma brucei LUMP 1026 has been investigated by the use of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) and cyanide. Respiration ... -
Evidence for a free N-acetylneuraminic acid
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1995)A preliminary short follow-up study of Hanganutziu and Deicher (HD) antibody titre and sialic acid levels in sera from 7 patients with hepatoma was carried out. Weekly HD antibody titres were abnormal in 6 patients with ... -
Evidence for a free N-acetylneuraminic acid-hydroxylating enzyme in pig mandibular gland soluble fraction
(College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1995-01-15)The activity of a free N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)-hydroxylating enzyme which converted Neu5Ac into N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) was demonstrated in the soluble fraction of pig mandibular gland. The hydroxylation ... -
Evidence For Allele Specificity In Caucasian And Kenyan Individuals.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 1999)Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) degrades 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine and 6-thioguanine which are commonly used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, leukaemia and organ transplantation. TPMT activity is polymorphic ... -
Evidence for Efficient Vertical Transfer of Maternal HIV-1 Envelope-Specific Neutralizing Antibodies but No Association of Such Antibodies With Reduced Infant Infection
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10-01)Little is known about the efficiency of vertical transfer of HIV-1-specific antibodies. Antibody levels in plasma from 60 mother-infant pairs near the time of birth, including 14 breast-feeding transmission pairs, were ... -
Evidence for Frequent Reinfection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 of a Different Subtype
(University of Nairobi, 2005-08)A major premise underlying current human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine approaches is that preexisting HIV-1-specific immunity will block or reduce infection. However, the recent identification of several ... -
Evidence for glycerol 3-phosphate:glucose transphosphorylase activity in bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1989)1. Anaerobic glycolysis in intact bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei brucei was studied. 2. Fructose, glucose and mammose were aerobically catabolized at rates of 3.4, 3.0 and 2.5 and anaerobically at rates of 0.38, 2.75 and ... -
Evidence for human antibodies that recognize an aflatoxin epitope in groups with high and low exposure to aflatoxins.
(University of Nairobi,Department of biochemistry, 1990)Antibody activity against an aflatoxin epitope has been detected in serum from individuals who live in Kenya and who experience high exposure to aflatoxin B1. The activity was higher than in Danish people. The highest ... -
Evidence for predisposition of individual patients to reinfection with Schistosoma mansoni after treatment.
(Department of Pure and Applied Biology, Imperial College, London University, London, 1987)Statistical analysis of the relationship between intensities of infection before treatment and during reinfection after treatment in a sample of 119 Kenyan schoolchildren demonstrated a positive association, indicating ... -
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 ... -
