Isotopic labeling of plasma proteins in vitro by tissues from staphylococcal-infected and control mice was examined, using autoradiography of immunoelectrophoretic patterns. The results indicate that in infected animals there is hyperactivity of liver tissue in producing albumin, alpha- and beta-globulins, and of spleen tissue in producing immune globulins. The observed increase in labeling of ...

The key sector that ensures the country’s food security is a comprehensive enhancement of livestock raising, including animal husbandry. intensification dairy production leads to increased metabolic stress in animals. Under such conditions, any technological failure can result disorder metabolism cows and development diseases, ketosis (acetonemia). Ketone bodies calf’s body produce an intoxicat...

Background The 7S vicilin-like seed storage globulins represent an important class of food allergens. In many plants, the 7S globulins are synthesized as a precursor polypeptide, which undergoes post-translational proteolysis to remove a portion of the N-terminus to produce the mature protein sequence. However, the fate of the cleaved N-terminal region is largely unknown. We have identified and...

Macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata L.) fruits are emerging sources to produce high-quality oils from pulp and kernels. Yet, the protein-rich press cake kernels remains underutilized, mainly due lacking knowledge of protein composition properties. Therefore, our aim was characterize main fractions The globulins were major fraction (58.5% storage proteins), which further separated into 11 S 7 globu...

Clinical reactions and serologic in all cases, to alpha globulins in 9 cases, and to SuMM*~y changes after intramuscular adgamma globulins in only 1. This h d i n g indicates ministration of horse anti-human lymphocyte that a safer ALG could be made by removing the globulin (ALG) were studied in 53 human retrace quantities of alpha and beta globulins from cipients of renal homografts. The ALG w...

lsologous antigenic determinants of y-globulin revealed by proteolytic digestion of the globulin molecules were discovered by Osterland, Harboe, and Kunkel (1963) in human lgG and by Mandy, Fudenberg, and Lewis (1965) in rabbit y G. These determinants are detected by autologous and isologous antibodies found in most human sera and in all rabbit sera, respectively. These antibodies were named pe...

We measured the concentrations of protein in electrophoretic fractions (albumin and alpha1-, alpha2-, beta, and gamma-globulins) of serum from 9547 white women to determine their relations to age, weight, smoking and other factors. Albumin concentration decreases with age, beta globulin concentration increases. Increasing weight is associated with a decrease in albumin, but with increases in al...

The albumin globulin ratio (A/G ratio) is meant to represent the ratio of alterations in serum proteins, since, in liver disease, globulins (G) rise following serum albumin (SA) decrease. pathophysiological value, its' use has been limited. Alternatively, we have developed an index, the globulin compensation index (GCI) to measure the changes in serum globulins when albumin is decreased. The in...
