Demonstration of Apolipoprotein CII in Guinea Pigs
In contrast to plasma from other mammals, guinea pig plasma does not stimulate the activity of lipoprotein lipases in vitro. This has led previously to the conclusion that guinea pigs lack an analogue to apolipoprotein CII (apoCII). By adsorption of lipid-binding proteins to lipid droplets, thereby separating them from other plasma components, we could demonstrate apoCII-like activity in guine...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of apolipoprotein E in renal amyloidosis.
To clarify the role of apolipoprotein E (apo E) in the formation of amyloid deposits, we examined specimens from 11 patients with renal amyloidosis who underwent renal biopsy by an immunohistochemical method using a monoclonal antibody (murine IgG1). Apo E was distributed in the amyloid deposits of all patients in a pattern similar to that obtained with Congo red staining. Strong positive stain...
متن کاملHereditary renal amyloidosis associated with a novel mutation in the apolipoprotein AII gene.
Sir, Hereditary amyloidosis is a rare disorder associated with mutations encoding seven proteins: transthyretin, apolipoproteins AI and AII, gelsolina, cystatin C, lysozyme and fibrinogen A. We report a case of renal amyloidosis affecting six members of a family, associated with a novel non-stop mutation in the apolipoprotein AII gene. A 42-year-old Caucasian male with nephrotic syndrome and re...
متن کاملHereditary Renal Amyloidosis Associated With a Novel Apolipoprotein A-II Variant
To the Editor: Systemic amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins as insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues. The familial forms of amyloidosis (AF) comprise a group of autosomal dominant diseases associated with mutations in a number of genes encoding amyloid precursor proteins. These diseases collectively exhibit various phenotypes, including ages...
متن کاملPresence of apolipoprotein-CII in commercially available albumin fractions.
1. Commercially available bovine serum albumin as Cohn fraction V was demonstrated to contain small amounts of apolipoprotein-CII. 2. This apolipoprotein activated lipoprotein lipase in the same way as apolipoprotein-CII purified from human very-low-density lipoproteins.
