Methods of Isolation of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Crystallins and Their Subgroups.
نویسنده
چکیده
Calf lens protein components separated by DEAE chromatography have been related to the crystallins isolated by the new method. Gamma crystallin is the first fraction eluted from the column, folloioed by the beta crystallin components, and then the alpha crystallin subgroup. Since the DEAE separable components could thus be identified as members of the alpha, beta, or gamma crystallin subgroups, another method is provided for isolating the crystallins.

Immunochemical detection of glycated lens crystallins and their circulating autoantibodies in human serum during aging
PURPOSE The aim of this investigation was to exploit lens-specific glycated crystallins as an immunogen to detect human glycated crystallins and their circulating autoantibodies in human serum during aging in relation to the development of cataract. METHODS Polyclonal antibodies were produced against human total lens proteins (40-80 years) in rabbits. The specificity of the antibodies produce...
متن کاملAlpha, beta, and gamma crystallins in the ocular lens of rabbits: preparation and partial characterization.
Alpha, beta, and gamma crystallins from rabbit eye lens have been prepared by continuousflow paper electrophoresis and gel filtration. These methods yielded well-defined fractions in a highly reproducible manner with essentially quantitative recovery of material. The behavior of each of the crystallins in diethylaminoethyl cellulose has been examined. Sulfhydryl contents of 2.9, 6.1, and 26.0 m...
متن کاملIGF-1 enhancement of FGF-induced lens fiber differentiation in rats of different ages.
PURPOSE Previously, using lens epithelial explants from neonatal rats, we showed that both insulin and IGF-1 synergistically enhance the effectiveness of FGF as an inducer of fiber differentiation. The authors aimed to determine whether IGF-1 enhances FGF-induced fiber differentiation in lens epithelial cells at various ages and, in particular, whether it can counter a marked age-related declin...
متن کاملConceptual Design and Simulation of Alpha-Beta Detector for Surface Contamination Measurements
The radioactive contamination measurement is essential in nuclear facilities. Monitoring of low level alpha and beta contamination is possible using light detectors high efficiency. Due to the fact that many detectors canchr('39')t simultaneously discriminate alpha, beta and gamma rays; among existing methods, phoswich detectors would be appropriate option to measure different radioactive conta...
متن کاملThe zebrafish lens proteome during development and aging
PURPOSE Changes in lens protein expression during zebrafish development results in a smooth gradient of refractive index necessary for excellent optical function. Age-related changes in crystallin expression have been well documented in mammals but are poorly understood in the zebrafish. METHODS In the zebrafish lens, a systematic analysis of protein content with age was performed using size ...
