Localizations and biological activities of HCG fractions in rat organs.
This study was undertaken to determine which biological site or immunological site in the HCG molecule is essential for uptake of HCG by the ovaries. HCG was obtained from the urine of patients with trophoblastic dieseases by adsorption on kaolin. This preparation gave two distinct immunological fractions on Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. One fraction (antigen-1; Ag-1) had both gonadotro...
متن کاملCYTOTOXIC and GELATINOLYTIC ACTIVITIES of Mesobuthus Gibbosus (Brullé, 1832) VENOM
The crude venom of Mesobuthus gibbosus which is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region of Anatolia were investigated for its cytotoxic and gelatinolytic activities in vitro. Cytotoxic effects of the crude venom were examined in three different cell lines by MTT assay. 5RP7 is H-ras activated mouse fibroblasts, CO25 is N-ras activated mouse myoblasts and A549 is human adenocarcinomas cel...
متن کاملDistribution of transaminases in rat organs.
The rale which the transamination reaction plays in the metabolism of amino acids is not known exactly. The reaction was at first considered to be general and to involve most amino acids (1). However, results obtained in various laboratories suggested that transamination took place only with glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and alanine, and in a few cases with other amino acids (2-4). The developm...
متن کاملGelatinolytic metalloproteinase secretion patterns in ocular melanoma.
Fifteen posterior uveal melanoma cell lines were analyzed qualitatively for gelatinolytic and caseinolytic proteinase activity after one to five in vitro passages. All 15 cell lines secreted a gelatinolytic metalloproteinase, with an apparent molecular weight of 72 kD, into protein-free culture media; nine of these secreted an additional gelatinolytic metalloproteinase with an apparent molecula...
متن کاملAn MMP-9 mutant without gelatinolytic activity as a novel TIMP-1-antagonist.
Unbalanced expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) such as TIMP-1 relative to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) promotes progression of fibrosis in liver, lung, and kidney. As to therapeutic strategies, it would be advantageous to antagonize TIMP-1. MMP-9 binds TIMP-1 with high affinity (Ki < 50 pM). Three histidine residues constitute the active site of the enzyme by bindin...
