Optimization of Unnicked β2-Glycoprotein I and High Avidity Anti-β2-Glycoprotein I Antibodies Isolation
Patient biological material for isolation of β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) and high avidity IgG anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies (HAv anti-β2GPI) dictates its full utilization. The aim of our study was to evaluate/improve procedures for isolation of unnicked β2GPI and HAv aβ2GPI to gain unmodified proteins in higher yields/purity. Isolation of β2GPI from plasma was a stepwise procedure combining n...
متن کاملImmunolocalization of beta2-glycoprotein I (apolipoprotein H) to human atherosclerotic plaques: potential implications for lesion progression.
BACKGROUND beta2-Glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) is a major antigenic target of antiphospholipid antibodies, which possesses natural anticoagulant properties. The aim of the present study was to determine its presence and localization within human atherosclerotic plaques and to study its association with endothelial cells and monocyte macrophages in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS Human atherosclerotic ...
متن کاملbeta2-glycoprotein-I (apolipoprotein H) and beta2-glycoprotein-I-phospholipid complex harbor a recognition site for the endocytic receptor megalin.
Screening of serum by using a surface plasmon resonance analysis assay identified beta2-glycoprotein-I/apolipoprotein H as a plasma component binding to the renal epithelial endocytic receptor megalin. A calcium-dependent megalin-mediated beta2-glycoprotein-I endocytosis was subsequently demonstrated by ligand blotting of rabbit renal cortex and uptake analysis in megalin-expressing cells. Immu...
متن کاملStructure of the hepatic control region of the human apolipoprotein E/C-I gene locus.
The specificity of expression in the liver of the human apolipoprotein (apo) E/C-I gene locus is determined by a hepatic control region (HCR) that is located 15 kilobases downstream of the apoE gene. DNase I footprint studies of this sequence using nuclear extracts identified a region of the HCR that is enriched in nuclear protein-binding sites. Nuclease analysis of chromatin revealed liver-spe...
