Serum concentrations of haptoglobin and serum amyloid A in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) with abomasal ulcer
To evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. Type I abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. Serum concentrations of Hp and SAA were measured. There was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffa...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of the serum amyloid A3 enhancer factor.
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute-phase protein synthesized and secreted mainly by the liver. In response to acute inflammation, its expression may be induced up to 1000-fold, primarily as a result of a 200-fold increase in the rate of SAA gene transcription. We showed previously that cytokine-induced transcription of the SAA3 gene promoter requires a transcriptional enhancer that contains...
متن کامل1136 Serum Amyloid P Component Binds Fibronectin
Amyloid P component (AP) 1 is a glycoprotein found in all forms of amyloid deposit regardless of the chemical nature of the fibril protein (1-6). It is indistinguishable from a normal plasma protein, serum amyloid P component (SAP), in terms of antigenicity, molecular weight, polypeptide subunit composition, appearance in the electron microscope, and the partial amino acid sequences available h...
متن کاملSerum amyloid A induces monocyte tissue factor.
C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) increase in the blood of patients with inflammatory conditions and CRP-induced monocyte tissue factor (TF) may contribute to inflammation-associated thrombosis. This study demonstrates that SAA is a potent and rapid inducer of human monocyte TF. SAA induced TF mRNA in PBMC within 30 min and optimal procoagulant activity within 4 h, whereas CRP ...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum and milk amyloid A in some inflammatory diseases of cattle
This study was designed to evaluate serum and milk amyloid A (SAA) as an inflammatory indicator in inflammatory diseases. Twenty clinically healthy cows and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases were selected for this study. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of both healthy and diseased groups. Milk samples were taken from four quarters of both groups. Milk samples of f...
