    Immunosorption activity in reference to antirhesus antibodies, of UV-irradiated Rh-positive preserved blood as well as of red blood cell pack and leucocytic-thrombocytic suspension prepared from this blood, was studied in varying terms after irradiation. The whole blood and red blood cell pack immunosorption activity significantly increased immediately after irradiation. The effect lasted during two days. The sorption capacity of leucocytic-thrombocytic suspension remained unchanged immediately after irradiation, and two days later it was almost lost.

    Mutations01:35

    Mutations

    Mutations are changes in the sequence of DNA. These changes can occur spontaneously or they can be induced by exposure to environmental factors. Mutations can be characterized in a number of different ways: whether and how they alter the amino acid sequence of the protein, whether they occur over a small or large area of DNA, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells.

    UV–Vis Spectrometers01:14

    UV–Vis Spectrometers

    The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell. Samples for...
    Pigmentation01:19

    Pigmentation

    The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
    Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...
    Immunological Memory01:23

    Immunological Memory

    Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
    What is Immunological Memory?
    Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
