LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT RHEUMATOID FACTOR*

Low-molecular-weight rheumatoid factor.

Epidermal growth factor: high and low molecular weight forms.

In crude homogenates of the submaxillary gland of the male mouse, epidermal growth factor (EGF) activity was found almost entirely in a high molecular weight complex (about 74,000 daltons). This high molecular weight form may be reversibly dissociated into EGF and an EGF-binding protein. EGF was found to have a molecular weight of approximately 6400. The EGF-binding protein has a molecular weig...

Low molecular weight thymic factor inhibits histamine release from basophils

Low molecular weight thymic factor stimulates the suppressor function of T-lymphocytes, increases cAMP content (but not cGMP) in lymphocytes and inhibits histamine release from sensitized basophils. The mechanisms of LTF action are discussed.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin Overdose: A 10 Year Case Series

  Background: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used for the treatment and prevention of coagulative disorders. Few patients receiving therapeutic doses of LMWH develop major hemorrhage. Currently there are few reports in the literature on acute overdose on adults.  In this study, clinical profile, treatment and outcome of 21 patients who acutely overdosed enoxaparin are described. Method...
