Puncture of unilateral renal cyst in utero.
(Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1986)Although most authors do not recommend prenatal puncture of a unilateral single cystic renal mass, in case the contralateral kidney is normal and there is sufficient amniotic fluid, this case report shows that the procedure, ... -
Pure non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma
(University of Nairobi, 2019)We present a case of a 9-year-old female child who we are managing for pure non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma at Kenyatta National Hospital. It is an extremely rare germ cell tumor and quite aggressive. Sub-total ... -
Purification and characterization of a midgut lectin-trypsin complex from the tsetse fly Glossina longipennis.
(University of NairobiInternational Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, Kenya, 1995)A blood-meal-induced lectin (agglutinin) with proteolytic activity was isolated from midgut extracts of Glossina longipennis by a two-step procedure involving anion-exchange chromatography. It is a glycoprotein [native ... -
Purification and characterization of an anticoagulant from the salivary glands of the ixodid tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology, University of CaliforniaDepartment of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1991)An anticoagulant isolated from salivary gland extracts of the ixodid tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, ion exchange on DEAE-cellulose, aprotinin-Sepharose, and by ... -
Purification and characterization of neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813
(1985)The toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813 (C-6813) was purified 1,009-fold from the culture supernatant in an overall yield of 30%. The specific toxicity was 1.1 X 10(7) mouse minimum lethal doses per mg of ... -

Purification and partial characterisation of goat placental IgG: A possible model for the study of human maternal-foetal interaction
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi,, 2000)Viviparous pregnancy in vertebrates is a major immunological puzzle. Ideally the maternal immune system should reject the foetus, which is antigenically different by virtue of its compliment of paternal genes and proteins. ... -
Purification and partial characterization of a thermo-stable lipoprotein ("antigen 880") of hydatid cyst fluid (HCF).
(Department of Public Health, pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi,, 1989)A purification procedure for a HCF thermo-stable lipoprotein designated as "Antigen 880" and subsequent characterization are described. The molecular weight and PI of the lipoprotein were shown to be 240,000 daltons and ... -
