Mitochondrial pellet was resuspended in digitonin buffer (30 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.4, 150 mM potassium acetate, 10 [v/v] glycerol, and 1 mg of digitonin) and kept on ice for 30 min. Ten microliters of antibody serum, 50 mL of Protein A-Sepharose, 1 (w/v) BSA, and Complete protease inhibitor (Roche) were added to the mitochondria and incubated for 6 h at 4 on a rotating wheel at 20 rpm. Beads were

N activator streptokinase might contribute to contact system activation by S. pyogenes. Here, we report that the human contact system is activated by the action of streptokinase. The role of secreted and surfacebound streptokinase in this process was investigated by comparing an M49 S. pyogenes wild-type strain with its isogenic ska mutant, which is unable to trigger plasmin activity in human plas

To mediate ADCC in vitro [9, 17, 23]. Although the contribution of ADCC activity to clinical efficacy is unclear, it is important to characterize all activities of the candidate mAb, especially those that can be affected by differences in post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation. The ability of ABP 501 to induce ADCC was assessed using MT-3 cells as target cells, and NK-92M1 cells s

Analysed the risk factors associated to both ICU and hospital mortality. Results: 299 patients were included (of a total ICU population of 2492 patients in that period). Average age of our patients was 84.43 ?3.55 years. Mean SAPS II was 45.48 ?14.59. Mean length of stay in ICU and in hospital were 5.47 ?7.61 and 18.15 ?15.27 days, respectively. Mortality in ICU has resulted in 18.1 , whilst in t

Ly increasing. This audit aimed to look retrospectively at our admissions to Intensive Care, to categorise them into frail or non frail, and evaluate how frailty correlated with ICU length of stay and mortality Methods: A retrospective case note review of all patients admitted to Intensive Care over a six month period in the Victoria Infirmary and then Queen Elizabeth University hospital in Glasgo
