The Human Mannose-binding Protein Gene
The human mannose-binding protein (MBP)' is an acute phase serum protein of -300 kD comprised of multimers of a 32-kD subunit (1-3). It is a member of an ever-growing family of animal lectins that share at least 18 invariant residues in their carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The family can be divided into membrane proteins and soluble proteins, and all bind ligands optimally at neutral pH...
متن کاملRoutine pulse oximetry during methacholine challenges is unnecessary for safety.
BACKGROUND Methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction is associated with significant hypoxemia, which can be assessed noninvasively by transcutaneous oxygen tension and pulse oximetry. OBJECTIVES To assess the value of the monitoring of finger pulse oximetry during routine methacholine challenges in a clinical pulmonary function laboratory with regard to both safety and the possibility that a s...

Background: Interleukin8 (IL-8) realized from keratinocytes in the presence of dermatophytic antigens causesinduction of acute responses in dermatophyte infection and subsequently production of acute phaseproteins occurs in hepatocytes. C–reactive protein (CRP) and Mannose–binding lectin (MBL) areacute phase proteins. Since few researches in the case of acute phase proteins in dermatophyticinfe...
