Functional, biochemical, and clinical characterization of natural mutations affecting arginine residues in the heparin-binding site of antithrombin. [PDF]
Abstract Arginine residues in antithrombin are essential for heparin binding and for the activation of this key anticoagulant serpin. Mutations affecting these residues may cause antithrombin deficiency, specifically Type II heparin‐binding site (HBS) defects, and increase the risk of thrombosis.

Örjan Ouchterlony and the antigen-antibody double diffusion-in-gel: a survey. [PDF]
The Swedish scientist Örjan Ouchterlony published four ground‐breaking papers 1948–1966 in Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand where he described a new method of antigen–antibody reactions in gel. He described and defined the ‘reaction of identity’ and ‘reaction of partial identity’ when he used related antigens and ‘reaction of non‐identity’ when he used non ...

Clinical and Serological Correlates of Serum C1Q and Anti-C1Q Antibodies in South Africans With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. [PDF]
Raised anti‐C1q antibody titres in South Africans with SLE were associated with active LN, as evidenced by an active urine sediment. A positive anti‐C1q antibody and low serum C1q were associated with a positive Direct Coombs' test. ABSTRACT Objective To investigate prevalence and clinical correlates of serum C1q and anti‐C1q antibody titres in black ...
