  • Pleiotropic Effects of Antithrombin Strand 1C Substitution Mutations
    Pleiotropic effects of antithrombin strand 1C substitution mutations. D A Lane, … , E Thompson, G Sas J Clin Invest. 1992;90(6):2422-2433. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI116133. Research Article Six different substitution mutations were identified in four different amino acid residues of antithrombin strand 1C and the polypeptide leading into strand 4B (F402S, F402C, F402L, A404T, N405K, and P407T), and are responsible for functional antithrombin deficiency in seven independently ascertained kindreds (Rosny, Torino, Maisons-Laffitte, Paris 3, La Rochelle, Budapest 5, and Oslo) affected by venous thromboembolic disease. In all seven families, variant antithrombins with heparin-binding abnormalities were detected by crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and in six of the kindreds there was a reduced antigen concentration of plasma antithrombin. Two of the variant antithrombins, Rosny and Torino, were purified by heparin-Sepharose and immunoaffinity chromatography, and shown to have greatly reduced heparin cofactor and progressive inhibitor activities in vitro. The defective interactions of these mutants with thrombin may result from proximity of s1C to the reactive site, while reduced circulating levels may be related to s1C proximity to highly conserved internal beta strands, which contain elements proposed to influence serpin turnover and intracellular degradation. In contrast, s1C is spatially distant to the positively charged surface which forms the heparin binding site of antithrombin; altered heparin binding properties of s1C variants may therefore reflect conformational linkage between the reactive site and heparin binding regions of the molecule. This work demonstrates that point mutations in and immediately adjacent to strand 1C have multiple, or pleiotropic, […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/116133/pdf Pleiotropic Effects of Antithrombin Strand 1C Substitution Mutations David A.

  • Egg Allergy: the Facts
    Egg Allergy: The Facts Egg is a common cause of allergic reactions in infants and young children. It often begins in the child’s first year of life and in some cases lasts into the teenage years – or even into adulthood for a few people. Children who develop allergy to foods such as egg often have other allergic conditions. Eczema and food allergy often occur in early infancy and later on there may be hay-fever, asthma or both. This Factsheet aims to answer some of the questions which you and your family may have about living with egg allergy. Our aim is to provide information that will help you to understand and minimise risks. Even severe cases can be well managed with the right guidance. Many cases of egg allergy are mild, but more severe symptoms are a possibility for some people. If you believe you or your child is allergic to egg, the most important message is to visit your GP and ask for allergy tests and expert advice on management. Throughout this Factsheet you will see brief medical references given in brackets. If you wish to see the full references, please email us at [email protected]. Symptoms triggered by egg The symptoms of a food allergy, including egg allergy, may occur within seconds or minutes of contact with the culprit food. On occasions there may be a delay of more than an hour. Mild symptoms include nettle rash (otherwise known as hives or urticaria) or a tingling or itchy feeling in the mouth. More serious symptoms are uncommon but remain a possibility for some people, including children.

  • Early Exposure to Egg: Egg Allergy Prevention
    Early exposure to egg: egg allergy prevention Intervention Introduction of egg to the diet of infants aged 4–6 months. Indication Infants, particularly those at higher risk of food allergy, with the aim of reducing the risk of developing egg allergy. (See Precautions.) [Hen’s egg allergy is the second most common food allergy Infants who started eating egg between 4 and 6 months of age show a 40% relative in infants and young children risk reduction of egg allergy compared with children who started egg later in life. (cow’s milk is the most common). In terms of absolute risk reduction, in a population where 5.4% of people have egg Most children outgrow egg allergy (ie reported UK prevalence rate), early egg introduction could prevent allergy by adolescence.] 24 cases of egg allergy per 1000 people. The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy recommends introduction of solids (including egg and peanut) for all infants between 4 and 6 months of age. Precautions Infants with a personal history of atopy (particularly moderate-severe eczema) or with a family history of atopy are at high risk of developing allergic disease, including food allergies. These infants may benefit from evaluation by an allergist or a general practitioner trained in management of allergic diseases in this age group to diagnose food allergy and assist in early egg introduction if appropriate. Adverse effects There were no deaths in the studies (which included children at higher risk) and no significant differences in rates of serious adverse events in egg consumption groups and egg avoidance groups.

  • Antiplasmin the Main Plasmin Inhibitor in Blood Plasma
    1 From Department of Surgical Sciences, Division of Clinical Chemistry and Blood Coagu- lation, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, S-171 76 Stockholm, Sweden ANTIPLASMIN THE MAIN PLASMIN INHIBITOR IN BLOOD PLASMA Studies on Structure-Function Relationships Haiyao Wang Stockholm 2005 2 ABSTRACT ANTIPLASMIN THE MAIN PLASMIN INHIBITOR IN BLOOD PLASMA Studies on Structure-Function Relationships Haiyao Wang Department of Surgical Sciences, Division of Clinical Chemistry and Blood Coagulation, Karo- linska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, S-171 76 Stockholm, Sweden Antiplasmin is an important regulator of the fibrinolytic system. It inactivates plasmin very rapidly. The reaction between plasmin and antiplasmin occurs in several steps: first a lysine- binding site in plasmin interacts with a complementary site in antiplasmin. Then, an interac- tion occurs between the substrate-binding pocket in the plasmin active site and the scissile peptide bond in the RCL of antiplasmin. Subsequently, peptide bond cleavage occurs and a stable acyl-enzyme complex is formed. It has been accepted that the COOH-terminal lysine residue in antiplasmin is responsible for its interaction with the plasmin lysine-binding sites. In order to identify these structures, we constructed single-site mutants of charged amino ac- ids in the COOH-terminal portion of antiplasmin. We found that modification of the COOH- terminal residue, Lys452, did not change the activity or the kinetic properties significantly, suggesting that Lys452 is not involved in the lysine-binding site mediated interaction between plasmin and antiplasmin. On the other hand, modification of Lys436 to Glu decreased the reaction rate significantly, suggesting this residue to have a key function in this interaction.
