Characterization of complement activity in serum of the four sturgeon species, Acipenser stellatus, A. baeri, A. nudiventris and Huso huso (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae)
Serum complement is valuable tool in determining the health status of fish. This study was conducted to examine in vitro activity of serum complement as an indicator of innate immunity in four sturgeon species, Acipenser stellatus, A. baeri, A. nudiventris and Huso huso (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae). The Effects of different temperatures, concentrations and volumes of serum on alternative comple...
متن کاملAutomated homogeneous liposome-based assay system for total complement activity.
We developed an automated homogeneous immunoassay, based on immune lysis of dinitrophenyl (DNP)-labeled liposomes, for measuring total complement activity. Liposome lysis caused by complement activity was detected spectrophotometrically from entrapped glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Complement activity in human sera was quantified by comparison with a calibration curve. For ease of ...
متن کاملComplement-derived chemotactic activity is generated in human serum containing uroporphyrin after irradiation with 405 nm light.
Patients with porphyrias have varying degrees of photosensitivity, associated with elevated levels of porphyrins in plasma, erythrocyte, urine and/or feces. To investigate the role of complement in the pathogenesis of cutaneous lesions, varying amounts of uroporphyrin were added to normal human serum (0.1-10 microgram/ml), and the mixtures were then exposed to 405 nm irradiation. Such treatment...
متن کاملBiomarkers of terminal complement activation confirm the diagnosis of aHUS and differentiate aHUS from TTP.
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is characterized by dysregulated complement activity, the development of a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), and widespread end organ injury. aHUS remains a clinical diagnosis without an objective laboratory test to confirm the diagnosis. We performed a retrospective analysis of 103 patients enrolled in the Ohio State University TTP/aHUS Registry presen...
متن کاملThe role of ADAMTS‐13 activity and complement mutational analysis in differentiating acute thrombotic microangiopathies
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Molecular diagnostics has improved the differentiation of acute thrombotic microangiopathys (TMAs). Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome may have features mimicking thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. We identified novel complement mutations and a high incidence of CD46, with favorable long term outcomes. Complement mutation analysis in TMA where the diagnosis is unclear a...
