  2. Globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globulin

    Alpha globulins; Beta globulins; Gamma globulins (one group of gamma globulins is the immunoglobulins, which are also known as "antibodies") Globulins can be distinguished from one another using serum protein electrophoresis. Globulins exert oncotic pressure. Their deficiency results in loss of carrier functions of globulins, oedema due to ...

  3. Gamma globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_globulin

    Gamma globulin injections are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient's immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients having been exposed to hepatitis A or measles, or to make a kidney donor and a recipient compatible regardless of blood type or tissue match.

  4. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    Fibrinogen from plasma samples will be seen in the beta gamma region. Fibrinogen, a beta-2 protein, is found in normal plasma but absent in normal serum. Occasionally, blood drawn from heparinized patients does not fully clot, resulting in a visible fibrinogen band between the beta and gamma globulins. [citation needed]

  5. Plasma protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_protein

    Contrary to popular belief, haemoglobin is not a blood protein, as it is carried within red blood cells, rather than in the blood serum. Serum albumin accounts for 55% of blood proteins, [1] is a major contributor to maintaining the oncotic pressure of plasma and assists, as a carrier, in the transport of lipids and steroid hormones.

  6. Hypogammaglobulinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypogammaglobulinemia

    Hypogammaglobulinemia is an immune system disorder in which not enough gamma globulins are produced in the blood (thus hypo-+ gamma + globulin + -emia).This results in a lower antibody count, which impairs the immune system, increasing risk of infection.

    For example, if a person’s actual blood pressure is 134, and blood pressure is measured on a dangling arm, the reading could end up over 140, which is considered to be stage 2 hypertension.

    An accurate blood pressure reading is an important part of preventive health care. Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine have found that certain arm positions commonly used to take blood ...

  9. Properdin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properdin

    Properdin is a gamma globulin protein composed of multiple identical protein subunits with a separate ligand-binding site. Native properdin occurs in head-to-tail dimers, trimers and tetramers in the fixed ratio 22:52:28. [5]
