Standardizing plasma protein measurements worldwide: a challenging enterprise.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need for harmonizing laboratory results is particularly intense in the field of quantitative protein assays in consideration of the clinical impact of specific protein measurements and their relevance in monitoring disease. We report the efforts made by the Committee on Plasma Proteins of the IFCC Scientific Division to achieve worldwide comparability in plasma protein results. We focus on the production of reference materials and the methods applied throughout their production process. Particularly, the recent characterization of ERM-DA470k/IFCC and ERM-DA472/IFCC has demonstrated that it is possible to reproduce the earlier established procedures and thereby maintain standardization. Plasma protein reference materials have had a substantial impact in improving the harmonization of patient protein results that should translate into better patient care.

Arabidopsis leaf plasma membrane proteome using a gel free method: Focus on receptor–like kinases
The hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown. For example in the Arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. A limited number of these proteins have appeard in pr...
متن کاملThe Iranian Blood Transfusion, Donor Safety Program: Effect of Long-term Plasmapheresis on Plasma Proteins
Background: Plasmapheresis is a well-recognised method for harvestingplasma. It was introduced in the 1950s and is currently employed worldwide. This method has been in use in Iran since 1979. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of donor safety program used at the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization. Methods: A comparison is made of the protein concentrations between the first-time and lon...

Background: Breast milk is important for the overall well-being of infants. Although lactation is relatively robust in the face of poor nutrition, the implication of poor nutrition on non-nutritive factors in breast milk is inconclusive. Objective: This study was designed to find associations between nutritional and immune factors in maternal blood and breast milk with the aim to improve the ne...
متن کاملStandardizing Component Interaction Patterns in Product-Lines Architectures
In this position paper we describe a set of interaction patterns that have been used to facilitate the composition of components in the product-line architecture of a robot control system. The primary purpose of standardizing component interaction is to reduce the learning curve of the inner working of the product-line architecture. Secondary it results in increased readability of the architect...
