Macular degeneration associated with age and drusen, an important cause of visual loss, is associated clinically with alterations in the retinal pigmented epithelium. Because the pigmented epithelium is a copper-rich tissue with antioxidant properties, the copper economy in patients and controls

It is possible by means of curves to depict graphically the behavior of the various antibodies under various conditions. Logarithmic curves based on the data presented in the tables are submitted in Text-fig. 1. In general it is evident that antibody destruction goes on gradually as the temperature

A 23-year-old male whose uncle died of nephronophthisis, and whose pathology is also discussed, presented with 5 g of protein in a 24-hour urine collection. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and salt wasting were present in addition to azotemia. Characterization of the proteinuria, including elevated

Starch gel electrophoresis has demonstrated that graded concentrations of sodium sulphate do not precipitate the serum globulins in any reasonable degree of purity. The use of this form of electrophoresis has shown that caeruloplasmin is associated with a globulin in the Fa(2) position.This

A nationwide questionnaire survey uncovered 53 patients with asymptomatic low molecular weight (LMW) proteinuria, 52 males and one female, aged 3 to 32 years. There was a slight tendency toward shortening stature with increasing age. Mild proteinuria was present in all of them, and microscopic

We reported that administration of anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-alpha) antibodies exacerbates the course of a Salmonella infection in both susceptible and resistant mice by preventing the suppression of bacterial growth in the reticuloendothelial system. In the present study, we
