Antibodies have the intrinsic capacity to destroy antigens.
Research throughout the last century has led to a consensus as to the strategy of the humoral component of the immune system. The essence is that, for killing, the antibody molecule activates additional systems that respond to antibody-antigen union. We now report that the immune system seems to have a previously unrecognized chemical potential intrinsic to the antibody molecule itself. All ant...
متن کاملPlatelet antigens and antibodies in multitransfused patients
Abstract Background and Objectives Following incompatible blood transfusions, anti-HLA and anti- HPA antibodies may develop and cause various disorders such as post-transfusion purpura, platelet refractoriness, and thrombocytopenia leading to bleeding. The aim of this study was to investigate platelet antigens and antibodies in multi-transfused patients. Materials and Methods In this desc...
متن کاملIntrinsic foot muscles have the capacity to control deformation of the longitudinal arch.
The human foot is characterized by a pronounced longitudinal arch (LA) that compresses and recoils in response to external load during locomotion, allowing for storage and return of elastic energy within the passive structures of the arch and contributing to metabolic energy savings. Here, we examine the potential for active muscular contribution to the biomechanics of arch deformation and reco...
متن کاملTo Have and Have Not: Intrinsic Platelet Hyperreactivity?
C oronary artery disease is a complex and progressive disease process involving plaque and thrombus formation. The key role of thrombus formation was identified several years ago and is considered not only critical for plaque growth but also as a cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Platelets are key drivers of these events. They have several activation pathways, and some of them have emerge...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies to human cell surface antigens.
Many of the leukocyte cell surface molecules are known by "CD" numbers. In this Appendix, a short introduction describes the history and the use of CD nomenclature and provides a few key references to enable access to the wider literature. This is followed by a table that lists all human molecules with approved CD names, tabulating alternative names, key structural features, cellular expression...
