The abductor pollicis longus (APL) tendon was used for interposition in 22 cases (Sigfusson and Lundborg 1991), the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) tendon in 6 cases (Necking and Eiken 1986), and the Burton procedure in 9 cases (Burton and Pellegrini 1986).
A ratio of aD1 and aD4 5 with a cutoff of 1.5 was used to test sera for aPL positivity.
Historically, cardiolipin (CL) was used as an antigen for aPL determination [ 4].
The anchor and T cell receptor (TCR) contact residues of peptide 322-337 were identified, and this information was used to design alanine-substituted APLs.
In measuring of changes in the LTW, APL, and CSA, a method described in this study with the superimposition module of the Invivo 5 program (9) was used.
A water-based lubricant (Glidslem APL, Stockholm, Sweden) was used on the posterior and lateral surfaces of the LMA cuff but not on the ETT cuff.
A multi-line dot assay (MLDA) employing phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), cardiolipin (CL), and beta2-glycoprotein I (β2 GPI) was used to detect aPL, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in 85 APS patients, 65 disease controls, and 79 blood donors.
To determine expression of different peroxiredoxin family members (PRDX1-6), data of 439 de novo AML and 22 APL samples were used [14].
Initially, primer sequences derived from APL cDNA were used to sequence genomic DNA.
The peptide is within the B9 23 region that is autoantigenic for CD4 T cells both in the NOD mouse and in man 16, 17 and an APL has been used in an immunotherapy trial 18.
