A new risk factor for coronary artery disease can be detected by an ApoA1 mAb-based assay.

Background: This study aimed to find coronary artery disease (CAD) related apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) and to evaluate the diagnostic value of the assay based on it.

Methods: Patients with CAD diagnosed by coronary angiography (disease group, n = 180) and healthy subjects (control group, n = 199) were recruited. The correlation between methods and CAD were evaluated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficients.

Aberrant alteration of peripheral B lymphocyte subsets in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Although B lymphocytes are widely known to participate in the immune response, the conclusive roles of B lymphocyte subsets in the antitumor immune response have not yet been determined. Single-cell data from GEO datasets were first analyzed, and then a B cell flow cytometry panel was used to analyze the peripheral blood of 89 HCC patients and 33 healthy controls recruited to participate in our research. Patients with HCC had a higher frequency of B10 cells and a lower percentage of MZB cells than healthy controls.
