Recent studies have demonstrated the presence, in both rat and human urine, of a modified form of albumin not detected by conventional antibodies. This modified albumin behaves physicochemically as intact albumin under nondenaturing conditions. We have demonstrated this form of albumin to be
There has been considerable controversy over the existence of serum albumin in fish. One of the physiological functions of albumin is to bind free fatty acids. This characteristic was used to screen the plasma of seven species of salmonids. Each species contains a protein fraction that (i) binds
A 9-year-old female, presented with recurrent bilaterally symmetrically distributed flesh colored vegetative plaques, papules and nodules on trunk and upper and lower extremities since 15 days. Investigations revealed anemia, hypoproteinemia, decreased albumin and positive D-xylose test. Pus swab
The exposure of bovine enamel to an albumin-containing demineralizing solution results in penetration of protein into the porous enamel. Washing of this albumin-containing enamel results in a complete (low pretreatment albumin concentrations) or partial removal of the albumin (pretreatment
The rapid degradation of native glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) by dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) has fostered new approaches for generation of degradation-resistant GLP-1 analogues. We examined the biological activity of CJC-1131, a DPP-IV-resistant drug affinity complex (DAC) GLP-1 compound that
In this study, we present evidence that red blood cell (RBC) membrane p68 in the Belgrade (b/b) rat is similar if not identical to rat serum albumin (RSA). Structural homology between RSA and the RBC p68 has been determined by a variety of biochemical and immunological criteria. This albumin-like
This laboratory previously identified an albumin-like protein (denoted as p70) as a component of the macromolecular complex assembled within the 5'-regulatory region of redox-sensitive genes in vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs). Here we show that p70 is present in the cytosolic and nuclear
The protozoan parasite, Leishmania donovani, undergoes several molecular adaptations and secretes many effector molecules for host cell manipulation and successful parasitism. The current study identifies an albumin-like secretory protein, expressed in its extracellular promastigote forms. A
Little information is available concerning the "spontaneous" Interleukin-1 (IL-1) which occurs in vivo without apparent stimulation. Although PHA and con A-suboptimally induced, and PPD-induced, lymphocyte responses in 0.25% BSA containing serum-free medium were markedly depressed when Mø was
We have demonstrated that several lots of commercial human serum albumin (HSA), prepared for clinical use by two manufacturers, reacted with anti-bovine whole serum in the double-diffusion test. The antigenic proteins were purified by affinity chromatography from these HSA lots and their chemical
An immunologically reactive albumin-like protein (albumin) was localized, by an immunostaining technique, in the testis of infertile men (normal spermatogenesis, obstructive azoospermia) at the level of the Sertoli cells and in some cells of the germinal epithelium (secondary spermatocytes and early
