Bovine Platelet Proteins

Abstract

Summary1. The protein composition of bovine platelet extracts has been investigated by immunoelectrophoresis and polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis. The information obtained is discussed as a basis for study on platelet fibrinogen.2. With antiserum to platelet proteins 11 precipitin lines were observed 3 of which corresponded electrophoretically to plasma albumin, fibrinogen and γ-globulin. These lines were not seen using the same antiserum absorbed with bovine plasma. The 8 additional lines were still present indicating that they represented specific platelet components. Antiserum to plasma produced the 3 above-mentioned lines, but no others.3. With antiserum to purified bovine plasma fibrinogen 3 precipitin lines were observed. The fibrinogen line was the dominant one. The 2 additional lines did not disappear by absorption of the antiserum with bovine serum nor by incubation of the extracts with thrombin. The latter treatment totally removed the fibrinogen line.4. A non-fibrinogen precipitin line, observed only with the antiserum to platelet extract and positioned in the β2-globulin region, disappeared by the incubation of platelet extracts with thrombin.

Clinical Experience of Nadroparin in Patients with Cancer

“…76 evaluable patients exhibiting cancer. 77 After initial therapy with nadroparin 0.1ml/10kg twice daily in all patients for 10 days, patients were randomised to nadroparin 0.1ml/10kg once daily or acenocoumarol, with both drugs being administered for three months. In the second randomised, open-label trial of 158 patients with deep-vein thrombosis, of whom 22.2% had cancer, nadroparin was again compared with acenocoumarol.…”

Chitosan-Coated Niosomes Loaded with Ellagic Acid Present Antiaging Activity in a Skin Cell Line

“…The problem of skin aging is significant and a cause for concern, particularly among women. A large amount of money is spent annually to counteract the skin aging process. , Dermatological research strategies for addressing this problem are focused on identifying natural low-cost plant extracts that have no or minimum side effects. − Natural plant extracts are rich in antioxidants and at the same time can absorb ultraviolet rays, which is the main cause of skin aging. , …”
