Dimers of β2-Glycoprotein I Mimic thein Vitro Effects of β2-Glycoprotein I-Anti-β2-glycoprotein I Antibody Complexes [PDF]
Anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I antibodies are thought to cause lupus anticoagulant activity by forming bivalent complexes with beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI). To test this hypothesis, chimeric fusion proteins were constructed of the dimerization domain (apple 4) of factor XI and beta(2)GPI.

Thrombosis and antiphospholipid antibodies in Japanese COVID-19: based on propensity score matching
BackgroundThrombosis is a unique complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are detected in COVID-19 patients, their clinical significance remains elusive.

Morphology, biophysical properties and protein-mediated fusion of archaeosomes. [PDF]
As variance from standard phospholipids of eubacteria and eukaryotes, archaebacterial diether phospholipids contain branched alcohol chains (phytanol) linked to glycerol exclusively with ether bonds.

Complete nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of human beta 2-glycoprotein I [PDF]
The nucleotide and complete amino acid sequence for the human ß2-glycoprotein I (ß,I) was derived by sequencing the cDNA clone pB2I- 1. In addition to the 326 amino acid residues of the mature protein this clone codes for a putative leader peptide and ...

Prevalence of beta 2-glycoprotein I antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with beta 2-glycoprotein I dependent antiphospholipid antibodies. [PDF]
To investigate whether beta 2-glycoprotein I antibody (aGPI) exists in sera that are positive for antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL).Thirty six patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited. GPI independent and dependent aPL (anticardiolipin (aCL), antiphosphatidylserine, antiphosphatidylinositol ...

Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Antiphospholipid Syndrome During Pregnancy: Diagnostic Concepts
Antiphospholipid syndrome comprises of a wide spectrum of clinical and obstetric manifestations linked to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. APS was described in the context of lupus and later as an isolated syndrome or primary APS.

Correction of the iron overload defect in beta-2-microglobulin knockout mice by lactoferrin abolishes their increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. [PDF]
As a resident of early endosomal phagosomes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is connected to the iron uptake system of the host macrophage. beta-2-microglobulin (beta2m) knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to tuberculosis than wild-type mice, which is ...

Structural analysis of the adenovirus type 2 E3/19K protein using mutagenesis and a panel of conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
The E3/19K protein of human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) was the first viral protein shown to interfere with antigen presentation. This 25 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in the endoplasmic ...
