Unlike QCSs in most other countries, CAP distributes several different sets of QC materials for
plasma proteins; one sample may be used for assaying C3 and C4, another for TTR, another for the immunoglobulins, and so forth.
In Limulus, foreign cell cytolysis is produced by the
plasma protein, limulin.
Glutathione protected only
plasma proteins while having no effect on lipid oxidation.
Agarose gel electrophoresis of
plasma proteins was done by using a Hydrasys semiautomated system (Sebia, Evry, France), using the Hydragel protein 15/30 set (Sebia).
CONCLUSIONS: Smoking is associated with a broad decrease in 3-nitrotyrosine levels of
plasma proteins, consistent with an inhibitory effect of cigarette smoke on endothelial nitric oxide production.
A two-dimensional gel database of human
plasma proteins. Electrophoresis 1991;12:883-906.
Most
plasma proteins are synthesized in the liver and, therefore, low levels may indicate a fiver disorder.
alginolyticus, CRP and other Limulus
plasma proteins had no effect on these species of bacteria.
In Charleston, Leigh assembled a system and identified the major
plasma proteins by immunoprecipitation with the whole collection of Behring antisera (10).
Pure human
plasma proteins were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and Calbiochem.
We calculated kinetic parameters with significant species differences (e.g., follicular uptake and colloidal storage of iodide in the thyroid, [CI[O.sub.4].sup.-] binding to
plasma proteins) between the lactating human and the lactating rat using the ratio of male rat:human parameters derived from available data and the concurrently developed male rat and nonpregnant human models (data not shown).
