A novel assay to quantitate MASP-2/ficolin-3 complexes in serum
Ficolin-1, -2 and -3 are recognition molecules in the lectin complement pathway and form complexes with serine proteases named MASP-1, -2 and -3 and two nonenzymatic proteins. MASP-2 is the main initiator of lectin pathway activation, while ficolin-3 is the most abundant ficolin molecule in the circulation.

MASP-1 and MASP-2 Do Not Activate Pro-Factor D in Resting Human Blood, whereas MASP-3 Is a Potential Activator: Kinetic Analysis Involving Specific MASP-1 and MASP-2 Inhibitors. [PDF]
It had been thought that complement factor D (FD) is activated at the site of synthesis, and only FD lacking a propeptide is present in blood. The serum of mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP)-1/3(-/-) mice contains pro-FD and has ...

H-ficolin (ficolin-3) concentrations and FCN3 gene polymorphism in neonates
Serum H-ficolin (ficolin-3) concentrations (n=613) and FCN3 genotypes (n=529) from a large group of neonates are presented. Both pre-term deliveries and low birthweight (independently of gestational age) were significantly associated with low H-ficolin concentrations but not with heterozygosity for the FCN3 1637delC frameshift mutation. The presence of

Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 Outer Membrane Vesicles as a Platform for Complement Activation
Basic characteristics and biological activity of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 (YeO3), depending on LPS chemotype and growth temperature. ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major component of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of Gram‐negative bacteria.

Proteomic analysis of mare follicular fluid during late follicle development [PDF]
Background: Follicular fluid accumulates into the antrum of follicle from the early stage of follicle development. Studies on its components may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying follicular development and oocyte quality ...

Proteomic profiling of tissue explant‐ and plasma‐derived extracellular vesicles identified colon adenocarcinoma‐associated and healthy‐associated EV proteins. A 10‐protein EV panel enabled highly sensitive blood‐based detection of colon adenocarcinoma, showed marked postoperative changes, and retained performance in an independent validation cohort ...

Biomarker development for presymptomatic molecular diagnosis of preeclampsia: Feasible, useful or even unnecessary? [PDF]
The past decade saw the advent of a number of promising biomarkers to detect pregnancies at risk for preeclampsia (PE), the foremost being those associated with an imbalance of angiogenic factors.
