1136 Serum Amyloid P Component Binds Fibronectin
Amyloid P component (AP) 1 is a glycoprotein found in all forms of amyloid deposit regardless of the chemical nature of the fibril protein (1-6). It is indistinguishable from a normal plasma protein, serum amyloid P component (SAP), in terms of antigenicity, molecular weight, polypeptide subunit composition, appearance in the electron microscope, and the partial amino acid sequences available h...
متن کاملSerum amyloid P-component-induced enhancement of macrophage listericidal activity.
Purified serum amyloid P component (SAP), the major acute-phase reactant of mice, augmented the in vitro listericidal activity of inflammatory (elicited) macrophages, bone marrow-derived monocytes, and macrophages from a subcutaneous site of inflammation. Monocytes and macrophages from C57BL/B6 mice, which are relatively resistant to Listeria monocytogenes, exhibited a significantly greater enh...
متن کاملSerum amyloid P component scintigraphy for diagnosis and monitoring amyloidosis.
Serum amyloid P component is a normal plasma protein and a universal non-fibrillar constituent of amyloid deposits. Radiolabelled serum amyloid P component scintigraphy is a non-invasive and quantitative method for imaging amyloid deposits, which produces diagnostic images in most patients with systemic amyloidosis, and can be used repeatedly to monitor the course of the disease. The scintigrap...
متن کاملSerum amyloid P component prevents proteolysis of the amyloid fibrils of Alzheimer disease and systemic amyloidosis.
Extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils is responsible for the pathology in the systemic amyloidoses and probably also in Alzheimer disease [Haass, C. & Selkoe, D. J. (1993) Cell 75, 1039-1042] and type II diabetes mellitus [Lorenzo, A., Razzaboni, B., Weir, G. C. & Yankner, B. A. (1994) Nature (London) 368, 756-760]. The fibrils themselves are relatively resistant to proteolysis in vitro b...
متن کاملHuman serum amyloid P component. cDNA isolation, complete sequence of pre-serum amyloid P component, and localization of the gene to chromosome 1.
Complementary DNA clones corresponding to the human serum amyloid P component (SAP) were isolated, and the complete nucleotide and derived amino acid sequence of preSAP was determined. PreSAP biosynthesis is directed by a 1.1-kilobase mRNA. Synthesis and postsynthetic processing of preSAP in Xenopus oocytes result in secretion of a protein with mobility similar to native purified SAP when analy...
