pyruvate carboxylase deficiency disease/albumin

Human protein C (PC) is a natural anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic in the bloodstream. PC deficiency can lead to abnormal blood clot formation inside blood vessels, possibly causing heart attack, stroke, skin necrosis, or even death. PC can be, therefore, a

A fiber-optic immunosensor for quantifying the protein C (PC) amount in a plasma sample is being developed to provide accurate, fast, cost-effective diagnosis of heterozygous PC deficiency (0.5-2.5 microg ml(-1)). As a progress report on the sensor development, this paper focuses on optimizations of

Protein C (PC) deficiency can lead to abnormal thrombus formation in blood vessels, obstructing oxygen and nutrient transport to various organs or tissues. Quantifying PC amount in blood plasma usually takes long time, is difficult and expensive due to its low concentration and other homologous
