Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE IN SERUM AFTER SPONTANEOUS SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGEKarl-Michael Schebesch, Elisabeth Bruendl Andreas Hochreiter, Judith Scheitzach et al.Endogenous Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) stored in perivascular nerve fibers around the cerebral arteries mediates vasodilation and regulates cerebral blood flow under physiological conditions. Increased levels of CGRP have been continually reported in patients with migraine, but the role of CGRP in the pathophysiology of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) has not yet been sufficiently evaluated. Over 10 days, serum was prospectively … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Jun 2014 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmunological Evidence for Peptide-Carbohydrate Mimicry with a Group A Streptococcus Polysaccharide-Mimetic PeptideSilvia Borrelli, Rehana B. Hossany, Susan Findlay, B. Mario PintoThe immunogenicity of a peptide-protein conjugate developed by linking a peptide mimic DRPVPY of the Group A Streptococcus cell-wall polysaccharide (GAS-CWPS), to tetanus toxoid (TT) was examined. BALB/c mice were immunized three times subcutaneously following homologous or heterologous prime/boost strategies at 4- or 6- week intervals in two different experiments. DRPVPY-TT, CWPS-TT, heat-killed, pepsin-treated GAS bacteria (with exposed polysaccharide) and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydroxyl Radical-Scavenging Activity-Guided Extraction of Peptides from Oviductus ranaeJieyang Shen, Yihui Liu, Jiahao Xu et al.Oviductus Ranae (OR) is a traditional Chinese medicinal material that is listed in Chinese Pharmacopeia with proteins the most abundant ingredients. In present work, pepsin/trypsin-based stepwise hydrolysis was applied to extract Antioxidant Peptides from OR (APOR) using hydroxyl radical-scavenging capacity as evaluation index. After single-factor experiment, response surface method coupled with Box-Behnken design were used for optimizing process parameters and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2021 · 6,609 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotential Health Functions of Collagen Bioactive Peptides: A ReviewMengqian Chen, Yanan Li, Guangrong HuangCollagen is the most abundant protein in nature and widely exits in animals. However collagen usage is not good enough, which is a waste of natural resources and an environmental burden. Collagen peptides have some special characters and functions. These functions can decide their usage. Therefore producing, discovering and using new functional collagen peptides are promising way to deal with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2020 · 9,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantitative Analysis of Hypothalamic Proline-Rich Peptide-1 in Blood Serum of Patients with Malignant TumorsNarine Tumasyan, Silva Abrahamyan, Nune Kocharyan et al.The proline-rich-peptides are a class of neurosecretory hypothalamic bioactive polypeptides derived from cattle and comprise the content of bovine posterior pituitary neurosecretory granules. These peptides are co-validated through a single precursor protein neurophysin-vasopressin-associated glycoprotein. Proline-Rich-Polypeptide-1 (PRP-1) is a 15-amino acid peptide with anti-neurodegenerative, immunoregulatory, hematopoietic, antimicrobial, and antitumor activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, is to elaborate an assay … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelective Susceptibility of Human Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma T24 Cells towards NBD PeptideSankari Durairajan, Charles Emmanuel Jebaraj Walter, Kalaiselvi Periyandavan et al.Bladder cancer is a recurrent disease that often develops chemoresistance and is on the rise in developing countries. After diagnosis surgery followed by immunotherapy and/or chemo- radiation therapy are the available treatments. These treatments do not provide protection against disease progression or recurrence thus highlighting the need to identify and develop drugs that are capable of inhibiting bladder cancer. T24 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2020 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHOMOLOGY MODELING AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES OF EC1 DOMAIN OF VE-CADHERIN TO ELUCIDATE DOCKING INTERACTION WITH CADHERIN-DERIVED PEPTIDEVivitri Dewi Prasasty, Usman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Teruna Jaya SiahaanVE-cadherin is a protein in the cadherin family that is found at the adherens junctions of the microvessel endothelial cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It is recognized as the homotypic cell adhesion molecules and there is limited structural information on how VE-cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion. It has been shown that the EC1 domain of cadherins is important for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnamnestic Immune Response Eight Years After Immunization of Primates with a Multivalent HIV-1 GP120 Variable Peptide VaccineRebecca Rivera, Kyung Hee Kang, David E. Anderson et al.Successful development of an effective HIV vaccine hasn’t occurred yet partly as a consequence of the antigenic variation deployed by HIV-1 to escape the immune system. Our laboratory is dedicated to develop a single peptide synthesis approach to create multivalent peptides representing hypervariable epitopes of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1. Our previous study showed that our HIV HECs are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2013 · 7,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEpitope Mapping of Dengue-Virus-Enhancing Monoclonal-Antibody Using Phage Display Peptide LibraryChung-I Rai, Huan-Yao Lei, Yee-Shin Lin et al.The Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) hypothesis has been proposed to explain why more severe manifestations of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DHF/DSS) occur predominantly during secondary infections of Dengue Virus (DV) with different serotypes. However, the epitopes recognized by these enhancing antibodies are unclear. Recently, antipre-M monoclonal antibody (mAb 70-21), which recognized all DV serotypes without neutralizing activity, were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,453 accessesView PDFCite
