Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...

Comparing Antibody Interfaces to Inform Rational Design of New Antibody Formats
As the current biotherapeutic market is dominated by antibodies, the design of different antibody formats, like bispecific antibodies and other new formats, represent a key component in advancing antibody therapy.

Bacterial Proteins and Their Proposed Interactions with Fc or Fab Fragments of Immunoglobulins
The reactivity of Immunoglobulin Binding Proteins (IBP) to Fc and/or Fab fragments of immunoglobulins was summarized in this review. Staphylococcal protein A (SpA), Streptococcal protein G and Peptostreptococcal protein L (SpL) were the IBP reported. SpA reacted with IgG from skunk, coyote, raccoon, mule and donkey.

The structures of secretory and dimeric immunoglobulin A [PDF]
Secretory (S) Immunoglobulin (Ig) A is the predominant mucosal antibody, which binds pathogens and commensal microbes. SIgA is a polymeric antibody, typically containing two copies of IgA that assemble with one joining-chain (JC) to form dimeric (d) IgA ...

Immunoglobulin treatment ameliorates myocardial injury in experimental autoimmune myocarditis associated with suppression of reactive oxygen species. [PDF]
[Aims]We tested the hypothesis that immunoglobulin ameliorated experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in mice attributing to the suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated myocardial injury. [Methods]We intraperitoneally administered intact

In vivo secretion of the mouse immunoglobulin G Fc fragment from rat submandibular glands [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundSalivary glands have been proposed as target organs for gene therapy. They secrete endogenous, as well as transgenic proteins, in a polarized manner. Transgene‐encoded regulated pathway proteins primarily follow the regulated pathway in rat salivary glands and are secreted into saliva in an exocrine manner.
