Adsorption of Blood Proteins onto Polysaccharide Surfaces
… behavior of two platelet adhesion-related blood proteins, human serum albumin (HSA) and human serum fibrinogen (HSF), on two polysaccharide materials used for hemodialysis membrane applications: regenerated cellulose and cellulose acetate. The study aims to provide insight into the design …

Exploring nanoparticles' interactions with blood proteins and visualizing the heterogeneity within hematopoietic cell populations
… major causes of this unfavorable outcome is that proteins and other biomolecules adsorb onto the particles upon NPs' injection into the blood stream, and form a biological coating named ""protein corona."" Protein corona formation could remarkably affect NPs' blood circulation, their cellular …

Copper and rheumatoid arthritis - an in vitro study of metal-protein interactions
… therapies. Computer models of blood plasma have attempted to rationalize the use of copper complexes in this regard. This thesis describes the design and commissioning of an ultrafiltration apparatus to study metal interactions with blood proteins. The results are compared with …

The Development of an Aptamer-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Sensor for the Real-time Detection of Glycated Protein
The direct detection of blood proteins can benefit a number of scientific and clinical applications, one of which is glycated protein monitoring for diabetes diagnosis and treatment. The formation of glycated proteins is proportional to the average glucose concentration over a certain past time …

Biosystematics and Life Histories of the PEROMYSCUS GUARDIA Group of Mice and PEROMYSCUS EREMICUS (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
… more than their paternal progenitor.</p> <p>Blood proteins of P. eremicus, P. interparietalis, and P. guardia were compared by serum electrophoresis, and from the protein patterns the discriminant functions were computed and a canonical scattergram plotted. Peromyscus interparietalis is …

Interactive Exploration of Multitask Dependency Networks
… learning; and, learning dependency networks of blood proteins associated with cancer. Dependency networks, or graphical models, are learned from the observed data in order to make comparisons between the sub-populations of the dataset. Rarely is there sufficient data to infer robust individual …

Aspects Of Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism
… 10% is protein. Four surfactant-associated proteins have been identified, surfactant associated protein (SP) SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D.;This thesis describes the investigations on the following aspects of surfactant metabolism: (1) phosphatidylcholine synthesis, (2) alterations in surfactant …

Toll-like receptor mediated responses to adsorbed damage-associated molecular patterns on biomaterial surfaces
… dependent on the species and conformations of proteins adsorbed onto the material surface, due to the adsorbate’s role in mediating cellular interactions with the implanted material. While the cellular response to adsorbed serum-derived proteins has been studied extensively, the presence of …

Reproductive Resilience of Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
… females have access to human hosts that provide blood proteins required for egg development, conspecific males that provide sperm required for fertilization, and freshwater in natural or manmade containers that serves as an egg-laying substrate suitable for offspring survival during larval and …

The Role of Fluorescence and Human Factors in Quantitative Transdermal Blood and Tissue Analysis Using NIR Raman Spectroscopy
… fluorescence spectroscopy to noninvasive in vivo blood analysis including but not limited to glucose monitoring. Coping with practicalities of human factors and exploring ways to obtain and use knowledge gained about autofluorescence to improve algorithms for blood and tissue analysis are the …

The wettability of biomaterials determines the protein adsorption and the cellular responses
… surgery. Most of the devices cannot avoid the blood contact in their use. When the polymer materials come in contact with blood they can cause different undesired host responses like thrombosis, inflammatory reactions and infections. Thus the materials must be hemocompatible in order to …

Nanoparticle toxicity and molecular mechanisms in fish: A case study with silver nanoparticles
… studies in this area. In Chapter 2, we show that blood proteins can quickly bind to the surface of NPs, which might greatly change their biological identity. We present novel data on the formation of a “protein corona” (PC) after incubation of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated AgNPs (PVP-AgNPs, 50 nm) …

Transport and exchange of amino acids from plasma, erythrocytes, peptides and serum proteins across the hindlimb of calves fed soy or urea purified diets
… Experimental trials lasted 30 days with blood samples collected on day 10 and day 30 of each trial. Plasma and Plasma and RBC free amino acids were determined from filtrates obtained by deproteinization with sulfosalicylic acid. Peptide amino acids were determined from filtrates obtained …

Regulation of p190RhoGEF by Activated Rho and Rac GTPases: Amplification and Crosstalk
… various enzymatic activities. Activation of Rho proteins largely depends on Rho Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factors (RhoGEFs), which catalyze the exchange of GTP for GDP on Rho. For classical RhoGEFs, the exchange activity resides in a Dbl homology (DH) domain, which is linked to a pleckstrin …
