Ficolin-2 inhibitors are present in sera after prolonged storage at −80 °C
Ficolins can activate the lectin pathway of the complement system that provides innate immune protection against pathogens, marks host cellular debris for clearance, and promotes inflammation. Baseline inflammation increases with aging in a phenomenon known as "inflammaging." Although IL-6 and C-reactive protein are known to increase with age, contributions of many complement factors, including...
متن کاملImpact of Storage at −80°C on Encapsulated Liver Spheroids After Liquid Nitrogen Storage
For many bioengineered tissues to have practical clinical application, cryopreservation for use on demand is essential. This study examined different thermal histories on warming and short holding periods at different subzero temperatures on subsequent functional recoveries of alginate encapsulated liver spheroids (ELS) for use in a bioartificial liver device. This mimicked transport at liquid ...
متن کاملReliability of AMH in Serum after Long-term Storage at -80°C and an Extended Thawing
Background: Measurement of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a valuable clinical tool for evaluating ovarian function. The present study aims to evaluate the reliability of AMH measurements obtained from samples kept for long-term storage with or without intermittent thawing. Methods and findings: Serum samples from 35 young female cancer patients were prospectively collected and stored at -80°C ...
متن کاملStability of serum ferritin measured by immunoturbidimetric assay after storage at -80°C for several years
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency (ID) may impair long-term neurological development when it occurs in young infants. In cohort studies, it is sometimes necessary to evaluate ID with sera kept frozen for several years. To assess ID, learned societies recommend measuring serum ferritin (SF) level combined with C-reactive protein level. The long-term stability of C-reactive protein in frozen samples is ...
متن کاملHuman L-Ficolin (Ficolin-2) and Its Clinical Significance
Human L-ficolin (P35, ficolin-2) is synthesised in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream where it is one of the major pattern recognition molecules of plasma/serum. Like other ficolins, it consists of a collagen-like tail region linked to a fibrinogen-related globular head; a basic triplet subunit arises via a collagen-like triple helix, and this then forms higher multimers (typically a 1...
