Stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with lipopolysaccharide induces expression of the plasma protein alpha2-macroglobulin.

Protein expression and purification - 1 Feb 2003

Gunnarsson Martin, Frängsmyr Lars, Stigbrand Torgny, Jensen Poul Erik H

Abstract excerpt

The human alpha(2)-macroglobulin gene is approximately 48 kb in size and consists of 36 exons, which encode the 180 kDa subunit of this large tetrameric protein. In this investigation, a procedure of sequencing human alpha(2)-macroglobulin mRNA, using mRNA from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells as template in RT-PCR, was developed. Incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell...
