An antibody in the serum of a gravida 4, para 3 woman reacted with red cells from two of her children, her husband, and his mother, but with none of more than 2100 reference red cell samples and blood samples from donors. The reactive antigen was inactivated by 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide or dithiothreitol-papain treatment. The antigen was immunoprecipitated from paternal red cells with maternal antibody and shown to migrate by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis as a single protein of approximately 93,000 daltons. After transfer to nitrocellulose paper by Western blotting, the protein reacted with a rabbit antibody specific for Kell protein. The chemical inactivation and electrophoretic findings were characteristic of Kell group antigens. The reaction with the rabbit antibody establishes that the "new" low incidence antigen was an epitope on Kell group protein and must be coded for by the Kell gene. It has been designated K23.

Polystyrene nanoparticles pose significant toxicological risks to aquatic ecosystems, yet their impact on zebrafish ( ) embryonic development, particularly erythropoiesis, remains underexplored. This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to comprehensively evaluate the effects of polystyrene nanoparticle exposure on erythropoiesis in zebrafish embryos. validation experiments corroborated the transcriptomic findings, revealing that polystyrene nanoparticle exposure disrupted erythrocyte differentiation, as evidenced by the decrease in mature erythrocytes and concomitant increase in immature erythrocytes.

Background: Hypoxia is associated with the onset of cardiovascular diseases including cardiac hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension. HIF2 (hypoxia-inducible factor 2) signaling in the endothelium mediates pulmonary arterial remodeling and subsequent elevation of the right ventricular systolic pressure during chronic hypoxia. Thus, novel therapeutic opportunities for pulmonary hypertension based on specific HIF2 inhibitors have been proposed.

Background: A stable and reproducible experimental bacterial pneumonia model postintracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is necessary to help investigating the pathogenesis and novel treatments of Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP).
Aim: To establish a Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia-complicating ICH rat model and an acute lung injury (ALI)-complicating ICH rat model.
Methods: We established two standardized models of post-ICH pneumonia by nasal inoculation with () or intratracheal inoculation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
