Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism with young onset diabetes millitus in a Bangladeshi population
Paul, Debashish (BRAC University, 2010-04)Vitamin D has an important immunomodulatory property and also has been suggested to play an important role in cellular metabolism. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism has also been found to be associated with insulin ... -
Calpain 10 gene SNP-44 T>C polymorphism in type 2 diabetes mellitus of Bangladeshi origin
Mir, Salma (BRAC University, 2010-03)Insulin resistance and/or B cell secretory defect have been accepted as the fundamental features in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, though the exact molecular defect affecting the insulin secretion or ... -
Characterization of an ethanol producing yeast isolate and optimization of ethanol fermentation
Quayum, Md. Abdul (BRAC University, 2011-11)Bioethanol or biofuel as an alternative to fossil fuels has been expanded in the last few decades in the whole world. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the choice of organism for ethanol production. Characterization of an ... -
Comparison of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) specific IgA and IgG avidity maturation between Vivotif Vaccinees and naturally infected enteric patients in Bangladesh
Rashed, Faisal Bin (BRAC University, 2014-08)Enteric fever, primarily caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi, is a potentially life-threatening systemic disease. Characterized by fever, malaise and diffused abdominal pain, it can lead to delirium, ... -
Degradation of dyes used in textile Industries by bacteria isolated from local textile effluents
Sultana, Banjir (BRAC University, 2017-06)The effluent discharges from textile processing industries contain a significant amount of unreacted dyes. Release of these dyes into the environment causes toxic effects to the environment. The application of microorganisms ... -
Detection of beta globin gene mutations in thalassemia patients in Bangladesh and correlation with hematological parameters
Biswas, Aparna (Brac University, 2018-12)β-thalassemia and hemoglobin E (Hb E) diseases are highly prevalent autosomal recessive disorders characterized by the reduced or absent expression of the β globin gene. β-thalassemia is now regarded as the most common ... -
Effect of passive immunization with mouse Anti-BCG 64 kDa protein on ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells
Chowdhury, Maisha Mosharrat (BRAC University, 2017-10)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death now-a-days. There are various treatment options for cancer and each has its own side effects because most of the therapeutic agents of cancer are non-selective and may cause ... -
In vivo propagation of monoclonal antibodies in ascites fluid produced in BALB/c mice: characterization and diagnostic application for the identification of Vibrio cholerae O1
Chowdhury, Mashiat Nawar (BRAC University, 2017-07)Monoclonal antibodies are powerful tools in biomedical sciences. High affinity of binding domains of monoclonal antibodies towards a specific antigen enables their use in diagnostic assays and kits to identify particular ... -
Isolation and characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of ethanol from organic sources
Rahman, Shafkat Shamim (BRAC University, 2013-10-07)Microbial production of ethanol is a very popular concept in respect of alleviating energy demand nowadays. In this regard, two fermenting strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated from date-juice and grapes and ... -
Isolation and characterization of yeast for bioethanol production, using sugarcane molasses
Naser, Armanul (BRAC University, 2014-03)In view of the anticipated shortage of the traditional supplies of fossil fuels there is a great deal of interest in the production of ethanol as an alternative biofuel in recent years. The present study describes the ... -
Molecular and phenotypic investigations of enzyme mediated resistance profiles against aminoglycoside antibiotics in gram-negative clinical isolates in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Hasib, Saad Hassan (BRAC University, 2018-09)In recent decades, focus has shifted from notorious Gram-positive pathogens to Gram-negative threats, the majority of which comprise members of the Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae families. These, often commensal ... -
