Uromodulin: a unique 85-kilodalton immunosuppressive glycoprotein isolated from urine of pregnant women
Creators
Description
Crude fractions of urine from pregnant women are immunosuppressive in vitro. An 85-kilodalton immunosuppressive glycoprotein purified to homogeneity from such urine inhibited in vitro assays of human T-cell and monocyte activity at concentrations of 10(-9) to 10(-11) molar. This material was nontoxic and blocked early events required for normal T-cell proliferation in vitro. On the basis of its tissue source and its in vitro activity, the name "uromodulin" is proposed for this glycoprotein.
