Ceruloplasmin, transferrin and apolipoprotein A-II play important role in treatment's follow-up of paracoccidioidomycosis patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic disease caused by thermodymorphic fungi of the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex, (Paracoccidioides spp.). Patients with PCM reveal specific cellular immune impairment.

Evaluation of transferrin-binding protein 2 within the transferrin-binding protein complex as a potential antigen for future meningococcal vaccines [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1995 Because the meningococcal transferrin receptor was shown to elicit bactericidal and protective antibodies in laboratory animals, we undertook a study of the protective role of each of the polypeptides within the Tbp1-Tbp2 complex. We developed a procedure to purify from Neisseria meningitidis B16B6 the two proteins in milligram amounts and raised ...

Transferrin Identification in Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) Reproductive System
Animals, 2019 Transferrins are a superfamily of iron-binding proteins and are recognized as multifunctional proteins. In the present study, transcriptomic and proteomic methods were used to identify transferrins in the reproductive organs and sperm of out-of-spawning ...

Identification of a transferrin-binding protein from Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1996 Bacterial pathogens have evolved various strategies to acquire iron from the iron-restricted environment found in mammalian hosts. Borrelia burgdorferi should be no different with regard to its requirement for ferric iron, and previous studies have suggested that transferrin (Tf) may be a source of iron in vivo.

Antigenic and Sequence Diversity in Gonococcal Transferrin-Binding Protein A [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACTNeisseria gonorrhoeaeis a gram-negative pathogen that is capable of satisfying its iron requirement with human iron-binding proteins such as transferrin and lactoferrin. Transferrin-iron utilization involves specific binding of human transferrin at the cell surface to what is believed to be a complex of two iron-regulated, transferrin-binding ...

The Fate of Iron in The Organism and Its Regulatory Pathways
Acta Medica, 2005 Iron is an essential element involved in many life-necessary processes. Interestingly, in mammals there is no active excretion mechanism for iron. Therefore iron kinetics has to be meticulously regulated.

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2022 Immodulins are synthetic peptides derived from the C-terminal domains of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). Immodulins from the 3/5/6 (but not 1/2/4) IGFBP evolutionary clade transduce extracellular matrix (ECM) signals to RXR, NR4A1 ...
