The Small Subunit of Hl-a Antigens Is Β2-microglobulin
ItL-A antigens prepared from human lymphoid cells by treatment of either intact cells or membranes with papain or nonionic detergents have been shown to contain two polypeptide chains. The antigen prepared by treatment of cells or cell membranes with papain contains polypeptide chains with a mol wt of about 34,000 and 11,000 (1), whereas the detergent-solubilized antigen has polypeptides of too...
متن کاملβ2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibrils Are Nanoparticles That Disrupt Lysosomal Membrane Protein Trafficking and Inhibit Protein Degradation by Lysosomes*
Fragmentation of amyloid fibrils produces fibrils that are reduced in length but have an otherwise unchanged molecular architecture. The resultant nanoscale fibril particles inhibit the cellular reduction of the tetrazolium dye 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), a substrate commonly used to measure cell viability, to a greater extent than unfragmented fibrils. H...
متن کاملAmniotic Fluid β2- Microglobulin Measurements
OBJECTIVE: To determine β2-microglobulin levels in amniotic fluid during the course of second trimester. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patient’s amniotic fluid β2-microglobulin levels had been evaluated retrospectively (March-October 2009). The most common amniocentesis indication was advanced maternal age (33.3%). Others were; high risk result for triple test (18.5%), high risk result for double t...
متن کاملIntermolecular Alignment in β2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibrils
The deposition of amyloid-like fibrils, composed primarily of the 99-residue protein β2-microglobulin (β2m), is one of the characteristic symptoms of dialysis-related amyloidosis. Fibrils formed in vitro at low pH and low salt concentration share many properties with the disease related fibrils and have been extensively studied by a number of biochemical and biophysical methods. These fibrils c...
متن کاملSystemic Amyloidosis: Lessons from β2-Microglobulin*
β2-Microglobulin is responsible for systemic amyloidosis affecting patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. Its genetic variant D76N causes a very rare form of familial systemic amyloidosis. These two types of amyloidoses differ significantly in terms of the tissue localization of deposits and for major pathological features. Considering how the amyloidogenesis of the β2-microglobulin mechan...
