Detection and Pathogenesis of Novel Protein F
Sponsor: Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital
Summary
From December 6, 2019 to March 23, 2020, the research group of Qingkun Fan found a novel protein(temporarily named protein F) in heparin anticoagulant plasma of three patients with heart disease. One patient was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.However, protein F cannot be detected by serum protein electrophoresis. Preliminary studies have shown that this novel protein F have an obvious absorption peak at about 600nm. Placed at 2-8 degrees for 7 days, protein F will be isolated from heparin plasma. To the naked eye, protein F appear to be transparent jelly between the red blood cells and the plasma. The specific protein F, how it is produced, how it causes disease are still unknown. This study will explore how to detect protein F and how it is produced.
