“broussonetia papyrifera” (chinese mulberry) pollen is an important source of allergens in regions surrounding shanghai, china. to identify and purify major allergens from “b. papyrifera” pollen that reacted with serum antibodies from sensitized patients, “b. papyrifera” pollen was defatted, dried, and extracted proteins were separated using sp cationic exchange or q anionic exchange columns. s...

Equal weights of the various protein fractions in plasma affect the plasma specific gravity equally, whereas weight for weight the fractions exert differing influences on the plasma viscosity. Thus fibrinogen has a greater effect on the plasma viscosity than does globulin, which, in turn, has a greater effect than albumin (Bircher, 1921 ; Naegeli, 1931; Oberst, 1939; Cowan and Harkness, 1947). ...

The role of the surface properties nanoparticles in serum protein adsorption, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity is reported. regulate their ability to adsorb proteins determine biological outcomes.

Abnormalities in the serum proteins have been described in several disorders of thyroid function (Man et al., 1940; Lewis and McCullagh, 1944; Lamberg and Grasbeck, 1955) and in particular in auto-immune thyroiditis, where a raised serum y-globulin has been found (Fromm et al., 1953; Luxton and Cooke, 1956; Skillern et al., 1956; Doniach and Hudson, 1957; Greene et al., 1958; Roitt et al., 1958...

Without doubt the greatest handicap to cancer research has been the small number of quantita tive methods available for measuring the activity of tumors. Until the last decade, with a few excep tions, most notably in investigations with War burg techniques, the science of cancer research was attempting to operate without precise measure ments, a feat commendable in the attempt but clearly ineff...

For many years it has been realized that ser globulin is not a single homogeneous protein, comprises a variety of proteins which have 4 ferent physical, chemical, and physiological p perties. The salt fractionation methods that h been 'used for many years do not yield fracti which are sharply distinguished one from anot in any properties. A striking example is that the fractionation of diphther...

Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...
