A correlation study between serum adenosine deaminase activities and peripheral lymphocyte subsets in Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: The results suggest that high serum ADA activity may be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease through peripheral T lymphocyte activation.

Quantitative analysis of brain perfusion SPECT in Alzheimer's disease using a fully automated regional cerebral blood flow quantification software, 3DSRT
Seiju Kobayashi,Masaru Tateno,Kumiko Utsumi,Akira Takahashi,Masaki Saitoh,Hidetoshi Morii,Kazuki Fujii,Masatoshi Teraoka +7 more
TL;DR: The correlation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes and the clinical severity of AD patients was investigated and results were consistent with previous findings demonstrated by qualitative analysis of CBF.

A novel type of binding specificity to phospholipids for rat mannose-binding proteins isolated from serum and liver
Yoshio Kuroki,Toshio Honma,Hirofumi Chiba,Hitomi Sano,Masaki Saitoh,Yoshinori Ogasawara,Hitoshi Sohma,Toyoaki Akino +7 more
TL;DR: Results provide evidence for a novel type of ligand binding specificity for MBPs, and raise the possibility that phospholipids are ligands for collectins.

Introduction of mannose binding protein-type phosphatidylinositol recognition into pulmonary surfactant protein A.
Hirofumi Chiba,Hitomi Sano,Masaki Saitoh,Hitoshi Sohma,Dennis R. Voelker,Toyoaki Akino,Yoshio Kuroki +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amino acid residues 174-194 of SP-A and the corresponding region of MBP-A are critical forSP-A-type II cell interaction and Ca2+-dependent lipid binding of collectins.

TL;DR: A critical stretch of primary sequence in the SP-A region Leu(219)-Phe(228) is required for liposome aggregation and interaction with alveolar type II cells, and the epitope for mAb 1D6 is located at the region contiguous to the SP/SP-D region Cys(204-Cys(218-Phe)(228).
