Possible mechanism for in vitro complement activation in blood and plasma samples: futhan/EDTA controls in vitro complement activation.
BACKGROUND Ongoing in vitro complement (C) activation in citrate or EDTA plasma has prevented an accurate analysis of C-activation products generated in vivo. The aim of this study was to characterize handling and storage conditions required to prevent in vitro C activation in blood and plasma samples collected with Futhan/EDTA. METHODS Biotrak(TM) RIAs were used to quantitatively measure C3a...
متن کاملDistinct in vitro Complement Activation by Various Intravenous Iron Preparations.
BACKGROUND Intravenous (IV) iron preparations are widely used in the treatment of anemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). All IV iron preparations carry a risk of causing hypersensitivity reactions. However, the pathophysiological mechanism is poorly understood. We hypothesize that a relevant number of these reactions are mediated by complement activation, resulting in a pseudo-anaphyl...
متن کاملAPT070 inhibits complement activation during in vitro cardiopulmonary bypass.
BACKGROUND The proteins of the complement cascade play an important role in inflammation and the immune response. They have been shown to be activated during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and may be responsible for the inflammatory response to CPB. We looked at the effect of APT070, an anti-complement agent, on human blood during in vitro CPB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred millilitres of...
متن کاملLow concentrations of citrate reduce complement and granulocyte activation in vitro in human blood
BACKGROUND The use of acetate in haemodialysis fluids may induce negative effects in patients including nausea and increased inflammation. Therefore, haemodialysis fluids where acetate is substituted with citrate have recently been developed. In this study, we investigated the biocompatibility of citrate employing concentrations used in haemodialysis. METHODS The effects of citrate and acetat...
متن کاملA comparative study of parthenogenetic activation and in vitro fertilization of in vitro matured caprine oocytes
The aim of the study was to compare the parthenogenetic activation and in vitro fertilization (IVF) of in vitro matured caprine oocytes. A total of 881 cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC’s) were collected from 243 ovaries. Oocytes were matured in TCM-199 medium containing eCG (20 IU/ml), hCG (20 IUμg/ml), oestradiol-17β (1 μg/ml), BSA embryo tested (3 mg/ml) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum ...
