Outer Membrane Protein YadA of Enteropathogenic Yersiniae Mediates Specific Binding to Cellular but Not Plasma Fibronectin [PDF]
, 1993 The binding of bacteria or bacterial products to host proteins of tissue extracellular matrix may be a mechanism of tissue adherence. We investigated interactions of the plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA, which confers pathogenic functions on ...

Protein polymorphism of a human plasma apolipoprotein D antigenic epitope.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1989 Based on our previous observation that monoclonal antibody anti-apoD-4E11 reacted with several HDL proteins we studied them further with three questions in mind: i) is there common protein polymorphism in healthy individuals?

Proteomic analysis of plasma from children with sickle cell anemia and silent cerebral infarction
Haematologica, 2018 Silent cerebral infarction is the most common neurological abnormality in children with sickle cell anemia, affecting 30-40% of 14 year olds. There are no known biomarkers to identify children with silent cerebral infarcts, and the pathological basis is ...

Free Fatty Acids Carried by Lipoproteins: Revisiting the Overlooked Cargo. [PDF]
Acta Physiol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Free fatty acids (FFAs) are hydrophobic and therefore cannot enter the bloodstream at appreciable levels unless they are solubilized by FFA carriers. Albumin has been appreciated for years as the major FFA carrier, but it is not the only carrier.

The Binding Stoichiometry of Human Plasma Retinol-binding Protein to Prealbumin
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974 Abstract The stoichiometry of binding between all-trans-retinol-retinol-binding protein (RBP) and prealbumin was investigated by means of gel filtration chromatography, electrophoresis, absorption, and circular dichroism. Using protein concentrations of up to 20 mg per ml, it was found that under a variety of experimental conditions 1 prealbumin ...

Ultrastructural localization of plasma retinol-binding protein in rat liver
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 Immunocytochemical studies were carried out to examine the subcellular localization of plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) in rat liver. The studies used normal, retinol-deficient, and retinol-repleted retinol-deficient rats with or without colchicine pretreatment. Affinity-purified monomeric Fab' fragments from the IgG fraction of rabbit anti-rat RBP

Plasma Retinol Binding Protein for Monitoring the Acetaminophen-induced Hepatotoxicity
Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 2002 Retinol-binding protein (RBP) is a specific transport protein which carries retinol in the circulation. RBP concentration in plasma and liver of rats following a large dose of acetaminophen (APAP) intraperitoneally was examined. The RBP concentration in plasma decreased significantly at 12 hr after the APAP administration, while the plasma albumin ...
