Primary structure of limulus anticoagulant anti-lipopolysaccharide factor.
A potent anticoagulant, anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) factor, found in limulus hemocytes inhibits the LPS-mediated activation of limulus coagulation cascade and shows an antibacterial action against R-types of Gram-negative bacteria (Morita, T., Ohtsubo, S., Nakamura, T., Tanaka, S., Iwanaga, S., Ohashi, K., and Niwa, M. (1985) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 97, 1611-1620). The complete amino acid sequenc...
متن کاملCyclic Limulus anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) factor-derived peptide CLP-19 antagonizes LPS function by blocking binding to LPS binding protein.
Inflammation and septic shock due to endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria infection continue to pose significant challenges to human healthcare. It is, therefore, necessary to develop therapeutic strategies targeting endotoxins, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), to prevent their potentially systemic effects. Pathogenesis due to Gram-negative bacteria involves LPS binding to the host LPS-bindi...
متن کاملStructure of Limulus Striated Muscle
The musculature of the telson of Limulus polyphemus L. consists of three dorsal muscles: the medial and lateral telson levators and the telson abductor, and one large ventral muscle; the telson depressor, which has three major divisions: the dorsal, medioventral, and lateroventral heads. The telson muscles are composed of one type of striated muscle fiber, which has irregularly shaped myofibril...
متن کاملAnticoagulant treatment as a risk factor for primary intracerebral haemorrhage.
Forty one (14.2%) of 288 patients with primary intracerebral haemorrhage occurring between September 1985 and December 1989 in Central Finland were on anticoagulant treatment at the onset of symptoms. In a sample of 29,000 subjects from the same population the prevalence of anticoagulant treatment was 1.6% in those aged 40 years or older. The estimated age adjusted odds ratio of being on antico...
متن کاملModulation of Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Nuclear Factor kappa B Mediated iNOS/NO Production by Bromelain in Rat Primary Microglial Cells
Background: Microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .They are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. When over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Thi...
