A subset of anti-HLA antibodies induces FcγRIIa-dependent platelet activation
HLA antibodies are associated with refractoriness to platelet transfusion, leading to rapid platelet clearance, sometimes coinciding with clinical side effects such as fever and chills.

Tin speciation in the blood plasma of workers occupationally exposed in a cassiterite ore processing industry [PDF]
Mining is a high-risk activity due to its dangerous processes. Tin (Sn) is obtained from cassiterite ore and mining activities expose workers to the metal. Chronic exposure to Sn may cause pneumoconiosis, gastrointestinal and hematological effects, among

Self-powered microfluidic chips for multiplexed protein assays from whole blood [PDF]
We report herein on a self-powered, self-contained microfluidic-based chip designed to separate plasma from whole blood, and then execute an assay of a multiplexed panel of plasma biomarker proteins.

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Protamine-like proteins have bactericidal activity. The first evidence in Mytilus galloprovincialis. [PDF]
The major acid-soluble protein components of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis sperm chromatin consist of the protamine-like proteins PL-II, PL-III and PL-IV, an intermediate group of sperm nuclear basic proteins between histones and protamines.

Pulmonary hypertension: Proteins in the blood
The plasma proteome is rich in information. It comprises proteins that are secreted or lost from cells as they respond to their local environment. Changes in the constitution of the plasma proteome offer a relatively non-invasive report on the health of tissues.

Protein concentration of synovial fluid in chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Estimation of protein in the synovial fluid of chronic rheumatoid arthritis by gel filtration and paper electrophoresis [PDF]
For the purpose to reveal the characteris6cs of the synovial fluid of the chronic rheumatoid arthritis the proteins of the synovial fluid and blood serum have been analysed by employing the methods of electrophoresis, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 ...

Blood Pressure and Blood Protein Determinations in the Frog.
In a previous note,1 the authors called attention to the low protein content of frog's blood. The low colloidal pressure of the blood is an important factor in determining the production of urine. The blood pressure of the frog is not nearly as high as in mammals, but if filtration is the basis of glomerular activity, there should be enough pressure to
