  • Typical clinical and immunopathological characteristics of MMP, such as oral, conjunctival and skin lesions, are reflected, for example, in an antibody transfer-induced mouse model for anti-laminin 332 MMP in adult mice. (bvsalud.org)
  • The importance of laminin 332 for the structural integrity of the BMZ is demonstrated by mutations in any of the three genes encoding for its three chains causing variants of junctional epidermolysis bullosa. (bvsalud.org)
  • Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against chicken gizzard 5 '-nucleotidase inhibit the spreading process of chicken embryonic fibroblasts on laminin substratum. (morulaivf.com)
  • Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies raised against chicken gizzard 5′-nucleotidase were tested in adhesion assays of embryonic chicken fibroblasts (CEF) for their ability to interfere with the adhesion process of these cells on either laminin or fibronectin substrata. (morulaivf.com)
  • This effect was obtained with a polyclonal antibody as well as with one from 12 monoclonal antibodies raised against the native enzyme purified from chicken gizzard. (morulaivf.com)
  • Autoimmunity against laminin 332 is observed in mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) and in the rare patients with orf-induced pemphigoid. (bvsalud.org)
  • To address this, we here first determined the kinase activity in three different mouse models of pemphigoid diseases: Antibody transfer-induced mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), antibody transfer-induced epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) and immunization-induced EBA. (bvsalud.org)
  • Laminin-332 (laminin-5) is a basement membrane heterotrimeric protein composed of alpha-3, beta-3 and gamma-2 laminin chains. (morulaivf.com)
  • Immunoblot assays using human epidermal extracts and BP180 NC16a domain recombinant protein confirmed the presence of IgG antibodies against BP180 and recombinant BP180 NC16a domain protein. (morulaivf.com)
  • Laminin 332 is a heterotrimeric structural protein of the basal membrane zone (BMZ) of the skin and adjacent mucosal tissues. (bvsalud.org)
  • G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) to modulate acute changes in intracellular messenger levels and ion channel activity. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a heterotrimeric protein expressed on the surface of certain immune cells, such as lymphocytes, that binds and responds to the cytokine IL-2. (transcriptionfactor.org)
  • Analyzing the protein expression patterns of Fas, FADD, caspase 8, CDC25B, fascin, CK14, CK4, annexin I, laminin-5γ2 and SPARC would be valuable to develop rational strategies for early detection of lesions at risk in advance as well as for prevention and treatment of ESCC. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The main autoantigens of MMP are type XVII collagen (BP180) and laminin 332 targeted in about 80% and 10-20% of patients, respectively. (bvsalud.org)
  • It is a heterotrimeric molecule composed of alpha1(V), alpha2(V) and alpha3(V) subunits. (lookformedical.com)
  • Immunological investigations consisted of direct immunofluorescence (IF), indirect IF with intact and salt-split canine gingival, and salt-split normal or laminin-332-deficient human skin, immunoblotting with purified human laminin-332 and immunoblotting with recombinant NC1 domain of human collagen VII. (morulaivf.com)
  • Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. (cusabio.com)
  • To confirm the immunohistochemical results, three proteins, fascin, CK14 and laminin-5γ2, which were overexpressed in ESCC on tissue microarray, were detected in 12 ESCC cell lines by Western blot assay. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These observations establish laminin-332 as a novel basement membrane antigen in dogs with autoimmune blistering diseases with variable clinical phenotypes. (morulaivf.com)
  • One major pathogenic pathway of skin blistering and inflammation is activation of myeloid cells following Fc gamma receptor-dependent binding to the skin-bound immune complexes. (bvsalud.org)
  • The Micro Elisa strip plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ENO1. (transcriptionfactor.org)
  • Laminin-332 polypeptides are targeted by auto-antibodies in human patients with mucous membrane (cicatricial) pemphigoid or, more rarely, subepidermal vesicular diseases that resemble epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) or bullous pemphigoid (BP). (morulaivf.com)
  • The initial attachment process of CEF on fibronectin and laminin substrata was not influenced by preincubating these cells with antibodies against chicken gizzard 5′-nucleotidase. (morulaivf.com)
  • However, the subsequent spreading process of these cells was found to be inhibited for at least 2 h on a laminin substratum. (morulaivf.com)
  • Spreading-arrested and rounded CEF do not develop prominent intracellular stress-fibers like control cells, instead they seem to concentrate their available actin in areas of presumptive initial contact with the laminin substratum. (morulaivf.com)
