The human genome contains theta-defensin genes, but they have a premature stop codon, hampering their expression. An artificial human theta-defensin, [ 40 ] retrocyclin , was created by 'fixing' the pseudogene , and it was shown to be effective against HIV [ 41 ] and other viruses, including herpes simplex virus and influenza A .
Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
Human neutrophil defensin-1, -3, and -4 are elevated in nasal aspirates from children with naturally occurring adenovirus infection. [10] In one small study, a significant increase in alpha-defensin levels was detected in T cell lysates of schizophrenia patients; in discordant twin pairs, unaffected twins also had an increase, although not as ...
In 2001, it was thought that β-defensins were similar to the ancestral defensin from a comparison of sequences of β-defensins, α-defensins and insect defensins. [12] Subsequent structural analyses have suggested that the β-defensins, α-defensins, θ-defensins and big defensins share an evolutionary origin, but are separate to the defensins ...
θ-defensins are extremely divergent members of the defensin protein superfamily which includes alpha-, beta-and big-defensins. The θ-defensins appear to have evolved from α-defensin genes around 40 million years ago in Old World monkeys. Compared to their α-defensin ancestors, θ-defensin genes are truncated into two halves.

Articles relating to blood tests, laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components, such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test, are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood ...
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique in which the blood serum (the fluid portion of the blood after the blood has clotted) is applied to either an acetate membrane soaked in a liquid buffer, [3] or to a buffered agarose gel matrix, or into liquid in a capillary tube, and exposed to an electric current to separate the serum protein ...
