The Na,K-ATPase is an alphabeta heterodimer responsible for maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in mammalian cells. We engineered Madin-Darby canine kidney cell lines expressing alpha(1)FLAG, beta(1)FLAG, or beta(2)MYC subunits via a tetracycline-regulated promoter and a line expressing both stable beta(1)MYC and tetracycline-regulated beta(1)FLAG to examine regulatory mechanisms of sodium pump subunit expression. When overexpression of exogenous beta(1)FLAG increased total beta subunit levels by >200% without changes in alpha subunit abundance, endogenous beta(1) subunit (beta(1)E) abundance decreased.

In 102 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, divided into group with slight psoriatic form and the group with severe psoriatic form, the serum immunoglobulin and complement levels were determined. The quantitation of immunglobulin and complement was carried out by single radial immundiffusion. It was found that the IgM levels were significantly decreased in both investigated groups.
