The Iranian Blood Transfusion, Donor Safety Program: Effect of Long-term Plasmapheresis on Plasma Proteins

Background: Plasmapheresis is a well-recognised method for harvestingplasma.  It was introduced in the 1950s and is currently employed worldwide.  This method has been in use in Iran since 1979. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of donor safety program used at the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization. Methods: A comparison is made of the protein concentrations between the first-time and lon...

Site-specific O-Glycosylation Analysis of Human Blood Plasma Proteins*

Site-specific glycosylation analysis is key to investigate structure-function relationships of glycoproteins, e.g. in the context of antigenicity and disease progression. The analysis, though, is quite challenging and time consuming, in particular for O-glycosylated proteins. In consequence, despite their clinical and biopharmaceutical importance, many human blood plasma glycoproteins have not ...

Plasma Nitric Oxide and Acute Phase Proteins after Moderate and Prolonged Exercises

Objective(s)The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma levels of nitric oxide (NO) and certain acute phase proteins(caeruloplasmin, transferrin, haptoglobin, C-reactive protein) in Nigerian subjects after short and prolonged exercises.Materials and MethodsA total of 57 subjects (34 males and 23 females) between ages of 19 and 45 years participated in this study and weredivided into three grou...
