Construction of cDNA libraries, and the selection and expression of proteins and peptides involved in haemostasis
(University of the Free State, 2004-06)
English: The need to find new manners in which to combat cardiovascular disease and associated thrombotic complications, remains a high priority in industrialised countries. Even in third-world countries the implications ...
Prevalence of helicobacter pylori and its relation to cytotoxin-associated gene a status in HIV positive and negative haematology patients
(University of the Free State, 2007-10)
Abstract not available
"Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor haplotype diversity in three Free State population groups"
(University of the Free State, 2006-11)
English: In the foregoing project, an investigation was made into the relative KIR gene frequencies of three South African cohorts. Playing an important part in innate immunity, KIR fill a vital gap between viral onsets ...
Microparticles derived from stimulation of human umbilical endothelium
(University of the Free State, 2013)
English: Endothelial microparticle reseach is currently a very novel and exciting topic in the field of
haemosistasis and thrombosis. The role of microparticles in inflammatory and thrombotic
disorders is however not ...
The effect of inflammatory cytokines and coagulation factors on Von Willebrand factor synthesis and cleavage
(University of the Free State, 2012-02)
When injured, endothelial cells secrete inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). These inflammatory cytokines stimulate the endothelial release of ...
Genotypic and expression analysis of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia
(University of the Free State, 2013-01)
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a haematological malignancy characterised by the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene which encodes for a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that ...
The application of high-resolution melting curve analysis for the detection of mutations in the MCR-ABL kinase domain of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia
(University of the Free State, 2011-12)
CML is a haematological malignancy that is characterized by the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene that encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. The treatment of choice for CML is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and molecular ...
The screening for single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP3A4 in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients receiving imatinib
(University of the Free State, 2009-05)
English: Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder that results in the uncontrolled production of white blood cells. This disease is a result of a reciprocal translocation of the long arms of ...
Presence of glyphosate in food products in South Africa of which maize or soybean is the primary constituent
(University of the Free State, 2017-02)
English: South Africa is considered a major GM crop producing country. The predominant GM trait in maize and soybean in South Africa is herbicide tolerance. Herbicide tolerant (HT) crops allow for the application of herbicide ...
Molecular screening for the presence of large deletions or duplications in BRCA using Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification in South Africa
(University of the Free State, 2016-07)
English: Germline BRCA gene mutations are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (OVC). Identification of these mutations greatly improves the preventive strategies and management of patients affected with ...
