Estimation of the selectivity of sorbents for IgG binding based on tripeptide ligands

Biospecific sorbents for the removal of IgG and subclasses from biological fluids based on oligopeptides, containing aromatic amino acid residues, were created. The selectivity properties of specific sorbents for IgM, IgE, and plasma proteins were evaluated. It was found that the created sorbents exhibit the low activity to the total plasma protein, albumin, IgM, IgE and are highly specific for IgG.

Total Plasma Protein

The plasma proteins of 14 families and 26 species of fishes from Gulf coast marine waters have been studied electrophoretically. Analbuminemia has been observed not only in elasmobranchs, but in gars and some clupeids, as well as in two species of higher fishes. Analbuminemia is characteristic of the lower fishes and gradually disappears as fishes become more complex, but not entirely, since the condition exists in a few higher fishes. In addition, several species were lacking in the alpha-1-globulin fraction. There is an increase in complexity of plasma proteins from lower to higher fishes. The plasma proteins show specific differences and may be quite different in closely related fishes. The total plasma protein is lower than in mammals.

Intensive Breeding

SUMMARYThe mean concentration of plasma albumin in 30 Finnish Landrace x Dorset Horn ewes subjected to intensive breeding decreased as the number of pregnancies increased from three to seven; it also changed significantly within a pregnancy. Gamma globulin concentration was not affected by the number of pregnancies but decreased significantly within a pregnancy. Total plasma protein was affected like albumin by the number and stage of pregnancy.Plasma volume increased by 23 % in the latter third of pregnancy.

Faecal Nitrogen

SUMMARYThe differential effect of subclinical helminthosis on digestion and nitrogen metabolism in 1-year-old Brahman x Hereford/Shorthorn cross and British (Hereford/Shorthorn cross) steers was investigated.When helminths were present, the British steers had lower digestibilities of dry matter and nitrogen, lower nitrogen balances, and higher dialysable faecal nitrogen, than had the Brahman cross steers. There were no breed differences in plasma gastrointestinal leakage (estimated by Cr labelling of plasma proteins), plasma content, total plasma protein, plasma protein half-life or plasma urea.When helminths were eliminated, plasma gastrointestinal leakage was reduced, and plasma content and total plasma protein were increased. These changes were relatively larger in the British steers. The Brahman crosses had lower plasma protein concentrations and higher plasma urea concentrations than the British steers. Plasma protein half-life was unaffected by parasites.The breed difference in the haematocrit was not affected by the presence or absence of helminths.
