Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of highly communicable respiratory infection whooping cough (pertussis) which remains one of the world's leading causes of vaccine-preventable deaths. In the present study, total soluble proteins extracted from two B. pertussis strains, Tohama I and the local isolate Saadet were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and analyzed by Western blotting for their reactivity with the antisera obtained from the mice immunized with inactivated whole cells as we...
Simulation analysis of the blood supply chain and a case study
Yegül, Mert; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
Efficient management of blood throughout the countries is of great economic importance, in addition to its major impact on the success of medical operations. This study is concerned with the analysis of policies for managing a unique blood supply chain network, which is defined in the new Blood and Blood Products Law of the Republic of Turkey. The main objective of the study is to obtain a better understanding of the system, and to find improved policies to be able to manage it efficiently. A discrete event...

Coasts are important areas where the vast majority of the world's population lives, have important natural resources and ecosystems, and provide socio-economic opportunities for societies. However, coastal areas are under threat due to different natural disasters such as storms, tsunamis and floods that cause loss of life and property. With the rapid development of hardware and software technologies, many programs that play an important role in the assessment of the natural disasters have achieved to perfor...
IMMUNE RESPONSES AGAINST CHIMERIC DNA AND PROTEIN VACCINES COMPOSED OF PLPEN-OMPH AND PLPEC-OMPH FROM PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA A:3 IN MICE
Okay, Sezer; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Özcengiz, Gülay (Akademiai Kiado Zrt., 2012-12-01)
Pasteurella multocida is a pathogenic bacterium causing many diseases that are of significant economic importance to livestock industries. Outer membrane protein H (ompH) gene and two fragments of Pasteurella lipoprotein E (plpE) gene, namely plpEN and plpEC, were cloned from P. multocida A:3. Three DNA vaccine formulations, namely pCMV-ompH, pCMV-plpEN-ompH and pCMV-plpEC-ompH and two protein-based prototype vaccines, alum adjuvanted PlpEN-OmpH and PlpEC-OmpH, were generated. Antibody levels were induced i...
Analysis of the relationship between defence and civil industries: Policy recommendations for Turkey

Nations have been putting great efforts in developing their defence industry, and it is usually located in the centre of their internal and international policies. Increase in defence expenditures necessitate to create rational, durable and sustainable connections between defence and civil industries. Defence industry contributes to the development of absorptive capacity of a nation by promoting the high-end and unique discoveries and facilitating the process of learning. Today the current technological dif...
