Insights into the Purification of C1-esterase Inhibitor from Human Plasma

Plasmatology
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare but often life-threatening genetic disorder caused by either lack of or dysfunctional C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-I3NH). C1-INH is a high-cost therapy for HAE.

Characterization of carbohydrate chains of C1‐inhibitor and of desialylated C1‐inhibitor

FEBS Letters, 1992
Carbohydrate chains of C1‐inhibitor were identified with a binding assay using different lectins. Lectins from Sambucus nigra (SNA) and Maackia amurensis (MAA) that are specific for sialic acids bound to C1‐inhibitor. Lectin from Datura strantonium (DSA) reacted also with the inhibitor indicating complex and hybrid sugar structures.

A novel assay to diagnose hereditary angioedema utilizing inhibition of bradykinin-forming enzymes. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema types I and II are caused by a functional deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), leading to overproduction of bradykinin. The current functional diagnostic assays employ inhibition of activated C1s; however, an alternative,

Complement in the homeostatic and ischemic brain [PDF]

, 2015
The complement system is a component of the immune system involved in both recognition and response to pathogens, and it is implicated in an increasing number of homeostatic and disease processes. It is well documented that reperfusion of ischemic tissue

Glycosaminoglycans affect the interaction of human plasma kallikrein with plasminogen, factor XII and inhibitors [PDF]

, 2003
Human plasma kallikrein, a serine proteinase, plays a key role in intrinsic blood clotting, in the kallikrein-kinin system, and in fibrinolysis. The proteolytic enzymes involved in these processes are usually controlled by specific inhibitors and may be ...
