The Specificity of Keratins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kerateine and metakeratin were prepared from wool, chicken feathers and human hair. Chemical analyses revealed that the compounds are closely related. The results of serological studies disclose that species specificity is an individual characteristic of the keratins employed and that the specificity observed is dependent on the redox state of the sulfhydryl groupings in the protein molecule.

Aim—To examine the value of immunohistochemistry in defining a keratin profile to aid cervical histopathological diagnosis. Methods—Immunohistochemical localisation of keratins 17, 10, and 19 was studied in 268 cervical biopsies from 216 women including normal epithelia (with and without human papilloma virus), low and high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and invasive carcinoma. The p...

متن کاملImmunological and immuno-fluorescent studies on keratin of the hair follicle.
Keratins from the differentiating cortical cells of the guinea-pig hair follicle have been studied by immunological and immunofluorescent procedures. Antisera were prepared to the unfractionated keratin proteins from the follicle and the specificity of these antisera examined by lmmunodifTusion and lmmunoelectrophoresis. The major follicle antigens were the 'lowsulphur' keratins, and the antibo...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop a validated, reliable, and minimally invasive technique for diagnosing limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) by immunocytochemical detection of conjunctival and corneal keratins on epithelial cells collected by impression cytology (IC). METHODS After validation of labeling techniques on a cohort of 10 healthy control patients, keratins K12, K13, and K...
متن کاملA highly conserved lysine residue on the head domain of type II keratins is essential for the attachment of keratin intermediate filaments to the cornified cell envelope through isopeptide crosslinking by transglutaminases.
We have addressed the question of how keratin intermediate filaments are associated with the cell envelope at the periphery of cornified epidermal cells. Many peptides from human epidermal cell envelopes containing isopeptide crosslinks inserted by transglutaminases in vivo have been characterized. A major subset involves the type II keratin chains keratin 1, 2e, 5, or 6 crosslinked to several ...
