Cryoglobulinemia revealed by a Purtscher-like retinopathy

PURPOSE To demonstrate the importance of collaboration between ophthalmologists and internists. DESIGN Cryoglobulinemia is a systemic vascularite. Ophthalmologic complications are rare and not well known. Purtscher-like retinopathy may occur in this context. CASE REPORT We report the case of a patient who presented a severe visual loss in the course of a hepatitis C. The ophthalmic examinat...

Novel heparan sulfate structures revealed by monoclonal antibodies.

The sulfated glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate (HS) is found ubiquitously on cell surfaces, in the extracellular matrix, and intracellularly as HS proteoglycans. Because of the structural heterogeneity of HS, tissue-derived HS preparations represent a mixture of HS chains originating from different cell types and tissue loci. Monoclonal anti-HS antibodies have been employed to detect the locali...

Individual differences in lutropin immunoreactivity revealed by monoclonal antibodies.

We screened 11 monoclonal anti-lutropin (LH) antibodies for use in two-site immunometric combinations, with time-resolved fluorescence as the detection principle. Seven immunofluorometric assays (IFMA), six detecting only the intact hormone and one detecting both the intact hormone and free beta subunit, were compared with each other and with a conventional radioimmunoassay involving a polyclon...
