DNA Sequence Fragment Containing C to A Mutation as a Convenient Mutation Standard for DHPLC Analysis

Objective(s):  Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) is a high throughput approach for screening DNA sequence variations. To assess oven calibration, cartridge performance, buffer composition and stability, the WAVE Low and High Range Mutation Standards are employed to ensure reproducibility and accuracy of the chromatographic analysis. The purpose of this study was to provi...

Protein A--a new ligand for human C-reactive protein.

Phosphorylcholine (PC) is a classical ligand of C-reactive protein (CRP), a clinically important acute phase protein. In search of new ligands, CRPs were affinity-purified from several pathological samples, which exhibited distinct molecular variants induced in different diseases. Both glycosylated and non-glycosylated CRPs showed calcium-independent differential-binding to Staphylococcus aureu...

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN RESPONSE IN ANGINA PECTORIS

C-reactive protein (CRP) response was studied in 44 patients with acute angina pectoris admitted to the coronary care unit. 71 % of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI)had positive CRP test while 73% of patients presumed to have unstable angina pectoris had negative CRP test. This test can be helpful in differentiating between acute MI and unstable angina pectoris.

Extrahepatic transcription of human C-reactive protein

We synthesized and cloned cDNA from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transcripts that were hybrid selected by pCRP5, a liver C-reactive protein (CRP)-specific cDNA (Woo, P.,J.R. Korenberg, and A.S. Whitehead. 1985. J.Biol. Chem. 260:13384). Three hybrid-selected cDNA clones, HScDNA1, HScDNA3, and HScDNA8, were isolated and characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5' end ...
