Abstract:
Antibodies to oxidized lipoproteins are useful markers for diagnosis and prognosis of some heart diseases. Low density lipoproteins (LDL) were purified from human plasma and were oxidized by CuCl2. They were immobilized on anisotropic silver nanoparticles with tunable plasmon resonance band and were applied for detection of appropriate antibodies in sera of patients with stenosis. The presence of such antibodies brings to significant shifting of plasmon resonance band to long-wave region in comparison with control sera. This approach permits to detect such antibodies by rapid method with one step procedure.

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
