OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the outcome of liver grafts from ABO incompatible donors, focusing on biliary complications, and compared the results to an ABO compatible control group. Also, the expression of donor ABH antigens in the liver graft was analyzed. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The outcome of liver transplantation using an ABO ...

Previous investigators have reported that a number of red cell (RBC) antigens are found on neutrophils (PMN) and lymphocytes. However, there is a lack of consensus in the literature. Furthermore, few data are available concerning the occurrence of RBC antigens on monocytes. To address this problem, leucocyte fractions prepared from donors of known RBC ...
BackgroundThe glycosylation of a great number of molecules, glyco-protein or glycolipids, has been of interest for decades.ObjectiveTo compare the expressive patterns of the isoantigenic determinants of histo-blood groups ABH and Lewis in squamous and simple epithelium and in precursors and cancers of the cervix.MethodsA total of 36 lesions and neoplasms ...
Numerous proteins, many essential for the DNA replication machinery, interact with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) through the PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) sequence called the PIP box. We have previously shown that the oxidative demethylase human AlkB homologue 2 (hABH2) colocalizes with PCNA in replication foci. In this study, we show that ...
Blood group antigens are structural variants in surface carbohydrate or amino acid polymorphisms on extracellular domains of membrane proteins. The red cell water channel-forming integral protein (Aquaporin CHIP) is a homotetramer with only one N-glycosylated subunit, however no CHIP-associated blood group antigens have yet been identified. Immunoblotting, ...
The stress protein alphaB-crystallin is an immunodominant antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS)-affected myelin for human T cells and is expressed at elevated levels in MS lesions. Using bovine alphaB-crystallin and synthetic peptides based on mouse alphaB-crystallin the ability of this stress protein to induce experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) ...
The authors suggest a simple sensitive technique for enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of ABH antigens in saliva and semen. A two-staged dot blot solid-phase EIA on nitrocellulose membranes was employed with anti-ABH monoclonal antibodies obtained in immunization of mice with human red cells. 4-chloro-1-naphthol substrate solution was used to ...
We examined 138 saliva samples for the presence or absence of the blood antigens ABH using haemagglutination inhibition methodology. The outcomes of the tests were scanned and examined by special software, which used the HSV colour model, allowed setting the parameters in a way that enabled differentiation of agglutination clusters from suspensions of ...
Cell surface carbohydrate antigens show changes in relation to differentiation, maturation and malignant transformation. The expression of type 2 chain ABH carbohydrate structures of the ABO histo-blood group system was investigated in 28 pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and normal parotid glands in order to study possible changes in the ...
Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health, and its composition is determined by several factors, such as diet and host genotype. However, thus far it has remained unknown which host genes are determinants for the microbiota composition. We studied the diversity and abundance of dominant bacteria and bifidobacteria from the faecal samples of 71 healthy individuals. In this ...
The Bacillus subtilis abh gene encodes a protein whose N-terminal domain has 74% identity to the DNA-binding domain of the global regulatory protein AbrB. Strains with a mutation in abh showed alterations in the production of antimicrobial compounds directed against some other Bacillus species and gram-positive microbes. Relative to its wild-type parental ...
The fucosylated ABH antigens, which constitute the molecular basis for the ABO blood group system, are also expressed in salivary secretions and gastrointestinal epithelia in individuals of positive secretor status; however, the biological function of the ABO blood group system is unknown. Gastric mucosa biopsies of 41 Rhesus monkeys ...

A unique sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of Rh antigens in blood stains has been developed using Rh antisera and phaseolus vulgaris E4/peroxidase conjugate (PHAE4/PO). The appropriate antiserum for detecting Rh C, c, D, E or e was coated on the inner surface of microplate wells, and the sample antigens from blood stains, ...
Vascular inflammation is an important factor which can promote diabetic complications. Preliminary investigations of several crude plant extracts including aqueous extract of Benincasa hispida Cogniaux exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigates the mechanism of anti-vascular inflammatory activity of an aqueous extract of B. hispida Cogniaux (ABH) in human ...
