Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesConservation of Binding of Llama and Other Animals’ Hemoglobins to Haptoglobins Across SpeciesMoges Woldemeskel, Oluseyi A. VanderpuyeThe plasma protein haptoglobin binds hemoglobin released from lysed erythrocytes. It causes removal of the free hemoglobin, thus preventing pathological oxidation of cells. Hemoglobin higher level structures are well conserved across animal species but primary structures can be as little as 50% homologous. Because of these differences, the question arose as to what extent hemoglobins can bind to haptoglobins from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2018 · 9,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSoluble CD59-Antigen Levels are Increased in Renal Disease PlasmaOluseyi Adewale VanderpuyeCluster of Differentiation antigen 59 (CD59) is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-linked protein that protects cells from damage by lytic terminal complexes of complement. Soluble forms of CD59 in serum have been little investigated in disease states. In the present study, by using a sandwich ELISA, reactivities with antibodies to CD59 were compared for sera and plasma from normal individuals and those … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 6,944 accessesView PDF Cite
