Expression of functional human C1 inhibitor in COS cells.
Full length human C1 inhibitor cDNA was cloned into a vector suitable for transient expression in COS-1 cells. Transfected COS cells secreted an immunoreactive protein of Mr approximately 110,000 that appeared to be functionally equivalent to the plasma-derived protein as established by the following criteria: 1) ability to form sodium dodecyl sulfate-stable complexes with C1s, factor XIIa, and...
متن کاملExpression of platelet C1 inhibitor.
Human platelets contain a pool of C1 inhibitor (C1 INH) distinct from that in plasma. Twelve normal platelet samples washed by centrifugation had a mean platelet C1 INH antigen level of 19.3 +/- 2.8 ng (mean +/- SEM) per 10(8) platelets. These values contrast with the mean +/- SEM platelet C1 INH antigen level of 6.1 +/- 0.9 per 10(8) platelets from 12 C1 INH-deficient patients. The level of pl...
متن کاملSynthesis and expression of C1 inhibitor by human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
The biologic activity of C1 esterase, activated forms of factor XII and kallikrein at sites of vascular inflammation may be regulated by C1 inhibitor (C1 INH) elaborated by endothelial cells. Therefore, we investigated whether human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in culture produce C1 INH. Passaged HUVEC contain 1.6 +/- 0.8 micrograms of C1 INH/10(8) cells (mean +/- S.D.; n = 7) which...
متن کاملCloning and high level expression of bovine interferon gamma gene in eukaryotic cells (COS-7)
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining T helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. In this study, the bovine IFN-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue RNA using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IFN-γ cDNA was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter. The pred...
متن کاملC1 inhibitor, a multi-functional serine protease inhibitor.
C1 inhibitor (C1INH) is a serpin that regulates both complement and contact (kallikrein-kinin) system activation. It consists of a serpin domain that is highly homologous to other serpins and an amino terminal non-serpin mucin-like domain. Deficiency of C1INH results in hereditary angioedema, a disease characterised by episodes of angioedema of the skin or the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tra...
