Networks of blood proteins in the neuroimmunology of schizophrenia. [PDF]
AbstractLevels of certain circulating cytokines and related immune system molecules are consistently altered in schizophrenia and related disorders. In addition to absolute analyte levels, we sought analytes in correlation networks that could be prognostic.

Hydrolysis Conditions of Porcine Blood Proteins and Antimicrobial Effects of Their Hydrolysates. [PDF]
In the present study, we determined the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of porcine blood plasma proteins, albumin, and globulin hydrolyzed by six proteases (alcalase, neutrase, flavourzyme, protamex, trypsin, and papain) for various reaction times.
