TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author), Bayley, J.P. (author), Bakker, A.M. (author), Kaijzel, E.L. (author), Huizinga, T.W.J. (author), Verweij, C.L. (author)Objective. To assess the role of polymorphisms of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptors, TNF-RI (p55) and TNF-RII (p75) in the susceptibility to and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Dutch patients. Methods. A total of 319 consecutive RA patients, and a cohort of 90 female RA patients with detailed 12-yr follow-up were genotyped for...article 2003

Nieuwenhuizen, W. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Fibrinogen is a large heterogeneous family of closely related molecules consisting of three pairs of non-identical polypeptide chains: two Aα-, two Bβ- and two γ-chains, held together by disulphide bridges. The heterogeneity of fibrinogen is due to heterogeneities in all three chains. Four main types of assay are used to determine fibrinogen...article 1995

(author)Recently, we determined the apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype distribution in 2,000 randomly selected 35-year-old male individuals by slab gel isoelectric focusing of delipidated plasma samples, followed by immunoblotting using anti-apoE antiserum. These blots have been successfully re-used for immunovisualization of apoA-IV isoelectric focusing...article 1988

Kluft, C. (author), Los, P. (author), Jie, A.F.H. (author), Gaubius instituut TNO (author)Alpha-2-antiplasmin, a major inhibitor of fibrinolysis, is synthesized in the liver and occurs in blood in two molecular forms: a very active plasminogen-binding (PB) form and a less active nonplasminogen-binding (NPB) form. This study investigated the origin and mutual relationship of these two forms in vivo and in vitro. Despite wide variation...article 1986
