Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Total tear protein concentration
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
Total protein concentration assessed using the bicinchoninic acid assay
|
Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
|
Secretory Immunoglobulin A Concentration
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
Human IgA, also known as human immunoglobulin A, is an antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to antigens.
It is the most abundant immunoglobulin in mucosal secretions, such as saliva, tears, and breast milk, and plays a key role in defense against pathogens at mucosal surfaces.
IgA works by binding to specific antigens and preventing them from entering the body's tissues.
It can also activate complement and promote phagocytosis by immune cells.
This protein typically represents 5-15% of total protein in tears.
|
Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
|
Tumor necrosis factor - alpha (TNFa) concentration
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
TNF alpha is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily.
This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophage and bind to its receptors, TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR.
TNF alpha is involved in the regulation of immune cells, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation.
|
Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
|
Lipocalin-1 concentration
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lipocalin family.
Lipocalins are a group of extracellular proteins that are able to bind lipophiles by enclosure within their structures to minimize solvent contact.
This protein may bind hydrophobic ligands and inhibit cysteine proteinases.
This protein is also known as Tear Prealbumin and typically represents 15-25% of total protein in tears.
|
Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
|
secreted Phospholipase A2 (type IIA) concentration
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 hour, and 1 week
|
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) make up a superfamily of enzymes that hydrolyze the ester bond of phosphoglycerides at the sn-2 position to release free fatty acid and lysophospholipids.
The sPLA2 responsible for the release of arachidonic acid in inflammation was believed to be Type IIA.
Although recently discovered isoforms of PLA2 clearly contribute to the release of arachidonic acid, sPLA2 (Type IIA) continues to be a protein of interest in the field of inflammation.
