Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 125 (CA 125), NCC-ST-439, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1), sialyl Lewis X-i antigen (SLX), progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were
Rupture of a benign cystic ovarian teratoma may result in severe chemical granulomatous peritonitis, a condition mimicking peritonitis carcinomatosa, with patients complaining of common abdominal symptoms. As the precipitating cause of rupture is often indeterminate and the rupture itself is hard to
A panel of tumour markers including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (Ca)15-3, Ca125 and Ca19-9 were measured in the lysate of sediments and in the supernatants of pleural effusions of patients with benign and malignant disease. The tumour markers were also measured in the serum
The levels of sialyl Lewis X-i antigen (SLX), which is one of the cancer-associated carbohydrate antigens, were evaluated in 83 malignant and 46 benign pleural effusions. SLX levels in pleural effusion due to lung adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those due to benign diseases (p <
BACKGROUND
The extract from Moringa oleifera seeds is used worldwide, especially in rural areas of developing countries, to treat drinking water. M. oleifera seeds contain the lectins cmol and WSMoL, which are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are able to reduce water turbidity because of their
One hundred thirty-seven fluid samples from patients with malignant diseases, including 58 with lung cancer and 36 with gastric carcinoma, were screened for three tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens. The antigens tested were sialylated Lewis (SLEX) antigen, sialylated SSEA-1 (SLX) antigen, and
Histomorphological evaluation of the profile of carbohydrate-binding proteins with specificities to alpha- and beta-glucosides (maltose, cellobiose), alpha-L-fucosides (L-fucose), alpha-D-mannosides (D-mannose), a N-acetylated sugar, present in natural glycoconjugates (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine), two
Several 5-iodotubercidin analogues in the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system were synthesized as potential inhibitors of adenosine kinase by a direct Lewis acid-catalyzed glycosylation procedure using both the preformed carbohydrate and the heterocyclic base as starting materials. The
As an aid in the differential diagnosis of exudative pleural effusions, tumor markers were investigated. We measured immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and alpha
Pleural effusion is a common diagnostic problem. The analysis of serum and body fluids for tumor markers has been intensively applied to clinical diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to determine the usefulness of simultaneous quantification of carbohydrate antigen 19.9, carbohydrate antigen
The capsular polysaccharide (CP) of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is required for virulence of the bacteria in swine. However, a molecular investigation of whether the type or quantity of CP affects A. pleuropneumoniae virulence has not been reported. To initiate this investigation, a DNA region
The use of biomarkers on pleural fluid (PF) specimens may assist the decision-making process and enhance clinical diagnostic pathways. Three paradigmatic examples are heart failure, tuberculosis and, particularly, malignancy. An elevated PF concentration of the amino-terminal fragment of probrain
