Refractive symmetry analysis of fellow eyes
Abstract: The biological structure of human body frequently exhibit symmetry. The hypothesis of refractive symmetry assumes that the two eyes of an individual should have homogeneous refractive properties. Optometry clinical management mostly rely upon meridional magnification effect, spatial distortion, and binocular spatial perception while prescribing refractive correction. Additionally, bilateral symmetry analysis approach has proven very informative for better diagnosis. This study was multi-centered, cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective, where we studied refractive …

Next Generation Immunoassays for Infectious Diseases of Animals
Abstract: Veterinary diagnostics has an essential role to play in the management and control of infectious diseases. Immunodiagnostics originated towards the end of 19th century with the advent of agglutination- and precipitation-based serological techniques. Progress in immunodiagnostics during the 20th century is marked by development of complement fixation test, and later, fluoro-, radio- and enzyme-immunoassays during 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, respectively. Various immunodiagnostic test formats were improved for their performance characteristics …

GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay (PCR Mycobacterium Tuberculosis): A Revolution in Management of Tuberculosis
Abstract: Background: Workup of pulmonary tuberculosis depends upon sputum microscopy. Sputum microscopy is less sensitive, human resource dependent and time consuming. Sometimes, it lead us to a delay in the diagnosis and may result in the spread of the disease. This seriously disturbs TB control program. There is a need for a more sensitive method. Similarly, early detection of rifampicin resistance is also of utmost importance to prevent MDR strains from …

Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Drugs in Cancer Therapy
Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are widely used in the diagnosis of diseases, detection of marker molecules and in therapy. The mAb drugs are increasingly used to treat hypersensitivity, autoimmune diseases, transplantation rejection and more importantly in cancer therapy. Although the application of mAbs in the treatment of infectious diseases is limited, the wide acceptance of these drugs in cancer therapy is remarkable. As of 2011, at least 11 FAB approved mAb …

Antibody Pharming in Transgenic Plants: An Overview
Abstract: Antibodies (Abs) are secreted large-sized glycoprotein products of terminally differentiated B cells in vertebrate species and since their discovery during 1890s, they have been widely used for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases, epidemiology and life-science research. They have been traditionally produced in large amounts by repeated immunization of animals. Various techniques for production of full-length and fragments of antibody that have been introduced later are: (i). hybridoma technology during …
