Studies on human thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). I. Purification of TBG and immunologic studies on the relationship between TBG from normal persons and those with TBG "deficiency".
A method for obtaining highly purified thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) from whole human serum is presented. The method employs relatively simple procedures of step-wise ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by column chromatography on DEAE cellulose and DEAE Sephadex. The final product produces a single protein band on disc electrophoresis. The sedimentation constant of the TBG thus purified...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of thyroxine-binding alpha globulin (TBG).
Thyroxine-binding alpha globulin (TBG) in human serum was isolated from Cohn fractions IV-5,6 and IV-4 by (1) chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM) cellulose, (2) gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, (3) chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex, (4) a novel procedure of "double-gel" electrophoresis, and (5) preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was homogeneous by analytica...
متن کاملComplete thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) deficiency produced by a mutation in acceptor splice site causing frameshift and early termination of translation (TBG-Kankakee).
Fourteen T4-binding globulin (TBG) variants have been identified at the gene level. They are all located in the coding region of the gene and 6 produce complete deficiency of TBG (TBG-CD). We now describe the first mutation in a noncoding region producing TBG-CD. The proband was treated for over 20 yr with L-T4 because of fatigue associated with a low concentration of serum total T4. Fifteen fa...
متن کاملDependence of the thyroxin/thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) ratio and the free thyroxin index on TBG concentrations.
We studied the dependence of the free thyroxin (T4) index and the ratio of T4 to thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) on TBG concentrations, using sera from cases of congenital TBG deficiency and congenital TBG excess. Two such sera with similar concentrations of albumin, transthyretin, and free T4 were mixed to provide test samples with TBG concentrations covering the range of clinical interest wit...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
