When analyzing the ELISA data, we found that the serum SAA concentrations were greatly increased in both the SARS and non-SARS patient groups. The mean serum SAA concentrations of the SARS and non-SARS patient groups were 40-and 85-fold higher than the upper limit of the reference interval (Ͻ10 mg/L), respectively. Consistent with the SELDI data, the serum SAA concentrations were significantly ...

In a compact multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, the channel capacity of a traditional 4-element uniform linear array (ULA) will decrease rapidly with the increment of the mean angle of arrival (AoA) of the incident waves. We will show first in this paper that this channel capacity decrement is caused by the antenna radiation pattern distortion, which owes to the so-cal...

It remains unclear how salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels respond to mechanical stimuli in different age groups. In addition, the role played by the sAA gene (AMY1) copy number and protein expression (glycosylated and non-glycosylated) in sAA activity has also been rarely reported. In this study, we analyzed saliva samples collected before and after citric acid stimulation from 47 child and 47...

Salivary α-amylase (sAA) is responsible for the 'pre-digestion' of starch in the oral cavity and accounts for up to 50 % of salivary protein in human saliva. An accumulating body of literature suggests that sAA is of nutritional importance; however, it is still not clear how sAA is related to individual's nutritional status. Although copy number variations (CNV) of the salivary amylase gene (AM...

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase reactant, and its level in the blood is elevated to 1000-fold in response of the body to trauma, infection, inflammation, and neoplasia. SAA was reported to inhibit platelet aggregation and to induce adhesion of leukocytes. This study looked at adhesion of human platelets to SAA. Immobilized SAA supported the adhesion of human washed platelets; level of a...

We offer eight well-characterized anti-SAA MAbs for the detection of feline, canine and equine SAA. These MAbs were selected from a pool of over forty MAbs that were raised against human SAA (SAA19, SAA21, SAA11), canine SAA (VSA34, VSA31, VSA38), or synthetic peptides derived from the region 79-104 a.a.r. of canine SAA (VSA2, VSA43). Isotypes and specificities of the antibodies are shown in Ta...

A novel serum amyloid A protein (SAA) has been identified as a normal apolipoprotein component of non-acute phase high density lipoprotein. This novel SAA has been designated "constitutive" SAA (C-SAA) to distinguish it from "acute phase" SAA (A-SAA). C-SAA was partially sequenced, and immunochemical analyses indicated that it constitutes a distinct subclass of apolipoproteins within the SAA su...
