Acs:180 Results Obtained for Macroprolactinemic Samples Multiplexed Mutagenically Separated Pcr: Simulta- Neous Single-tube Detection of the Factor V R506q (g1691a), the Prothrombin G20210a, and the Methyl- Enetetrahydrofolate Reductase A223v (c677t) Variants
(range, 250% to 86%) indicates a highly variable, sampledependent response of the ACS:180 assay to macroprolactin. The great disparity of values observed when comparing results from macroprolactinemic samples measured by the Elecsys or the Immulite assay with the results obtained by a low-reading method such as ACS:180 may reflect variation in the structure of macroprolactin. Macroprolactin is ...
متن کاملMacroprolactin and hyperprolactinaemia.
The recent report on “macroprolactin and hyperprolactinaemia” is very interesting. Jamaluddin et al. noted that 4.4 % of the patients have macroprolactin and concluded that “macroprolactin is a significant cause of misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigation, and inappropriate treatment.” Similar to many other “macro” phenomenon (macroCK, macroamylase, etc.), the macroprolactin can result in aberra...
متن کاملEditorial: The Macroprolactin Problem
Human prolactin (PRL) is synthesized as a prehormone with a molecular weight of 26,000 kDa. When the preprolactin is cleaved, the resulting polypeptide has a molecular weight of 23,000 kDa, and this monomeric form accounts for the majority of total PRL. Serum also contains a 50,000-kDa form that is termed big PRL and another species with a molecular weight of greater than l00,000 kDa, which is ...
متن کاملGalactomannan enzymatic immunoassay cross-reactivity caused by Prototheca species.
We report a reactive Aspergillus galactomannan enzymatic immunoassay against the serum of a patient with invasive Prototheca zopfii infection. Analysis of the supernatants of suspensions of P. zopfii and other Prototheca isolates revealed positive results as well. These data suggest cross-reactivity with the serum Aspergillus galactomannan assay in invasive protothecosis.
متن کاملMolecular Heterogeneity of Human
Interleukin 2 (IL-2,1 formerly termed T cell growth factor), discovered by Morgan et al. (1) is produced by T lymphocytes after antigen or mitogen stimulation and is required for the proliferation of activated T cells. IL-2 is an essential mediator o f the immune response (2, 3), and there is prel iminary evidence that it may also be responsible for the abnormal cell proliferation in h u m a n ...
