Increasing the length and hydrophobicity of the C‐terminal sequence of transthyretin strengthens its binding affinity to retinol binding protein

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 1891-1898, December 2017., 2017
Transthyretin (TTR) transports retinol via binding with retinol binding protein (RBP). We constructed chimeric TTRs and determined their binding affinities with human RBP using chemiluminescence immunoblotting. Our results show that increasing the length and hydrophobicity of the C‐terminal sequence of TTR strengthened its binding affinity for RBP ...

Clinical Manifestations and Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Associated with Physical Dysfunction after Treatment in Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis: An Observational Study of Physical Dysfunction with Myositis in Japan

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Objective. The physical function of PM/DM patients after remission induction therapy remains unknown adequately. The aim of our study was to evaluate the present status of physical dysfunction and to clarify the clinical manifestations and myositis‐specific autoantibodies (MSAs) associated with physical dysfunction after treatment in PM/DM. Methods. We

Development of an Immunochromatographic Test Strip for Detection of Cholera Toxin

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Because cholera toxin (CT) is responsible for most of the symptoms induced by Vibrio cholerae infection, detection of CT is critical for diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we constructed an immunochromatographic test strip for detection of CT (CT‐IC) with polyclonal antibodies developed against purified recombinant whole CT protein. The detection

Monoclonal antibodies against human astrocytomas and their reactivity pattern [PDF]

, 1987
The establishment of hybridomas after fusion of X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice hyperimmunized against human astrocytomas is presented. The animals were primed with 5 × 106 chemically modified uncultured or cultured glioma cells.

Characterization of Thermo‐ and Detergent Stable Antigenic Glycosylated Cysteine Protease of Euphorbia nivulia Buch.‐Ham. and Evaluation of Its Ecofriendly Applications

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
An antigenic glycosylated cysteine protease has been purified from the latex of Euphorbia nivulia Buch.‐Ham. It exhibits remarkable protease activity in the presence of metal ions, oxidizing agents, organic solvents, and detergents. This enzyme showed potential role in leather processing industry due to its dehairing activity for animal hide without ...

Diagnosis and management of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in adults: A position statement from the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand

Respirology, Volume 29, Issue 12, Page 1023-1046, December 2024.
Abstract Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease (ILD) relating to specific occupational, environmental or medication exposures. Disease behaviour is influenced by the nature of exposure and the host response, with varying degrees of lung inflammation and fibrosis seen within individuals. The differentiation of
