The patient must be closely monitored for anaphylactic shock, and anyone allergic to sheep protein, papain, bromelain, or papaya extracts (papain is used to cleave the antibody into Fab and Fc fragments) should not use ovine digoxin immune fab. Because it is relatively new, no drug interaction studies have been performed yet. [citation needed]
Papain is the main ingredient of Papacarie, a gel used for chemomechanical dental caries removal. It does not require drilling and does not interfere in the bond strength of restorative materials to dentin. [13] Papain has been known to interfere with urine drug tests for cannabinoids. [14] It is found in some drug detox products.
Chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6, chymopapain A, chymopapain B, chymopapain S, brand name Chymodiactin) is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the latex of papaya (Carica papaya).It is a cysteine protease which belongs to the papain-like protease (PLCP) group. [1]
Members of the papain-like protease family play a number of important roles in plant development, including seed germination, leaf senescence, and responding to abiotic stress. Papain-like proteases are involved in regulation of programmed cell death in plants, for example in tapetum during development of pollen.
An earlier study [13] had highlighted the similarity in specificity of caricain, chymopapain and papain. All seven bonds of the oxidized B chain of insulin that were hydrolyzed by caricain were also cleaved by papain, and six were hydrolyzed by chymopapain. Caricain can be assayed with Bz-ArgkNHPhNO2, kcat/Km being 187 M21 s21 at pH 6.8 and 40˚C.
An electronic forum, NGC-L for exchanging information on clinical practice guidelines, their development, implementation and use An Annotated Bibliography database where users can search for citations for publications and resources about guidelines, including guideline development and methodology, structure, evaluation, and implementation.
An antibody digested by papain yields three fragments, two Fab fragments and one Fc fragment An antibody digested by pepsin yields two fragments: a F(ab') 2 fragment and a pFc' fragment The fragment crystallizable region ( Fc region ) is the tail region of an antibody that interacts with cell surface receptors called Fc receptors and some ...
Plates vi & vii of the Edwin Smith Papyrus (around the 17th century BC), among the earliest medical guidelines. A medical guideline (also called a clinical guideline, standard treatment guideline, or clinical practice guideline) is a document with the aim of guiding decisions and criteria regarding diagnosis, management, and treatment in specific areas of healthcare.
