Immunomodulatory properties of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) and uromodulin.
BACKGROUND Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) and uromodulin are the most abundant glycoproteins in non-pregnant women's/men's and pregnant women's urine, respectively. However, the bioactivities of these glycoproteins are still unclear. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the immunomodulatory properties of THP and uromodulin on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) METHODS: THP and uromodulin isol...
متن کاملEvaluation of Glycan Profiles of Tamm-horsfall Glycoprotein and Uromodulin
Uromodulin is well-known to be the more potent immunosuppressive glycoprotein isolated from pregnant women urine, compared to its counterpart, Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) isolated from non-pregnant women/male urine. However, structural profiles of these glycoproteins were controversial until today. Hence, this paper aims to identify the pregnancy associated glycosylation changes of THP and...
متن کاملProperties of a glycopeptide isolated from human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein. Interaction with leucoagglutinin and anti-(human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein) antibodies.
A sialylated glycopeptide isolated after Pronase digestion of human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein behaves as a powerful monovalent hapten in the precipitin reaction between human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein and leucoagglutinin, but fails to inhibit the interaction of the glycoprotein with rabbit anti-(human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein) antibodies. The glycopeptide is much less active than the intact...
متن کاملTamm-Horsfall urinary glycoprotein. The chemical composition.
1. A revised amino acid and carbohydrate composition of human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein is presented. 2. No significant differences were obtained in the amino acid composition of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis. 3. The glycoprotein was shown to possess a high half-cystine content of 1 per 11-12 amino acid residues, which has been confirmed by performic ac...
متن کاملThe turnover rate of rabbit urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein.
1. The turnover rate of urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein in rabbits was determined by two different methods. The first involved measurement of the pool size of the glycoprotein in rabbit kidney and the daily urinary excretion rate by a radioimmunoassay from which the turnover rate was calculated. 2. The second method made use of the incorporation in vivo of Na(2) (14)CO(3) and sodium [(14)C]a...
