Factor H binds to washed human platelets.
BACKGROUND Factor H regulates the alternative pathway of complement. The protein has three heparin-binding sites, is synthesized primarily in the liver and copurifies from platelets with thrombospondin-1. Factor H mutations at the C-terminus are associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a condition in which platelets are consumed. Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate if...
متن کاملMyosin ATPase activity of muskrat, guinea pig and rat hearts.
Muskrats {Ondatra zibethicus) are among the most common freshwater diving mammals in North America. They have a well-developed diving response that occurs upon either forced or voluntary diving (Jones et al. 1982). This response consists of a dechne in heart rate and cardiac output and a redistribution of blood flow primarily to the brain, heart and adrenal gland, with other organs being hypope...
متن کاملIsolated Perfused Guinea Pig and Rat Hearts
Adenosine is known to cause atrioventricular block by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular node, thereby lengthening the atria to His (A-H) interval. To test the hypothesis that the increase in atrioventricular conduction delay produced by adenosine is mediated at an extracellular site, the efficacy of nucleoside transport inhibitors in preventing cellular adenosine uptake was correl...
متن کاملRat and guinea pig pancreatic acini possess both VIP(1) and VIP(2) receptors, which mediate enzyme secretion.
Pancreatic acini from most species possess vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors. Recently, two subtypes of VIP receptors, VIP(1)-R and VIP(2)-R, were cloned. Which subtype exists on pancreatic acini or mediates secretion is unclear. To address this, we examined pancreatic acini from both rat and guinea pig. VIP(1)-R and VIP(2)-R mRNA were identified in dispersed acini from both species...
متن کاملKaryotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
