Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate changes in complement system-related molecules in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS Patients >18 years of age on maintenance hemodialysis were included. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) methods complement related molecules ficolin-1, ficolin-2, ficolin-3 mannose-binding lectin, long pentraxin 3, complement activation products C3c, and complement activation potentials were measured before and after a single hemodialysis treatment. All patients were dialyzed with synthetic high flux filters >1.6 m2 , respectively, Polyamix and Polysulfone, and the Kt/V was maintained >1.3. FINDINGS Three hundred and four patients were included. There was a modest decrease in plasma level of ficolin-1 (p < 0.001). Ficolin-2 was virtually depleted with median 3.9 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2.6-6.1, range 0.3-13.5) μg/ml before dialysis to median 0.0 (IQR: 0.0-0.5, range 0.0-5.5) μg/ml after dialysis (p < 0.001). No significant difference before and after hemodialysis was seen for mannose-binding lectin and long pentraxin 3 (p > 0.05). In a random subgroup of 160 patients ficolin-2-binding, ficolin-3-mediated lectin pathway capacity and classical pathway capacity were significantly decreased due to hemodialysis. The complement capacity of the alternative pathway was increased after hemodialysis (p = 0.0101), while mannose-binding lectin-mediated lectin pathway capacity was unaltered (p = 0.79). There was an increase in the complement activation product C3c (p < 0.0001), while the concentration of total C4 and C3 did not change (p > 0.158). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses showed an increased risk for all-cause mortality with increasing ficolin-2 (p = 0.002) after hemodialysis. DISCUSSION Plasma ficolin-2 was virtually depleted from the circulation after hemodialysis. However, elevated plasma ficolin-2 levels after hemodialysis was independently associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
End-stage renal failure is associated with persistent systemic inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate if systemic inflammation at the time of kidney transplantation is linked to poor graft survival, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and increased mortality, and if these processes are modulated by naturally occurring cytokine-specific autoantibodies (c-aAbs), which have been shown to regulate cytokine activity in vitro. Serum levels of cytokines, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and c-aAbs specific for interleukin (IL)-1α, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured at the time of transplantation in a retrospective cohort study of 619 kidney transplanted patients with a median follow-up of 4.9 years (range 1.2-8.2 years). Systemic inflammation was associated with all-cause mortality in simple and multiple Cox regression analyses. IL-10-specific c-aAbs were associated with MACE after transplantation, suggesting that IL-10 may be a protective factor. Similarly, patients with a history of MACE before transplantation had lower levels of TNF-α-specific c-aAbs, hence we hypothesized that TNF may be a risk factor of MACE. These findings support that pro-inflammatory activity before transplantation is a pathological driver of MACE and all-cause mortality after transplantation. This information adds to pretransplantation risk estimation in renal transplant candidates.

Abstract
Hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) is well-characterized as a common phenomenon after kidney transplantation. However, no reports of pre-existing HGG from kidney transplantation seem to be available. We have reviewed three patients who developed HGG prior to kidney transplantation, and all three were treated successfully with immunoglobulin replacement therapy before and after kidney transplantation. The kidney grafts were functioning at follow-up 1.5-8 years (mean: 3.6 years) after transplantation, and there were no diagnosed episodes of clinical rejections and no severe infection complications post-transplantation.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acid bioconjugates prepared from alkaline phosphatase by reaction with either 2,5-dioxopyrrolidinyl 3-[N-[3-(1,3,2-dioxaboran-2-yl)phenyl]carbamoyl]propanoate (PBA-XX-NHS) or 2,5-dioxopyrrolidinyl 6-[[3,5-di-(1,3,2-dioxaboran-2-yl)phenyl]carbonylamino]hexanoate (PDBA-X-NHS) were compared with respect to the efficiency with which they were immobilized on salicylhydroxamic acid-modified Sepharose (SHA-X-Sepharose) by boronic acid complex formation. When immobilized on moderate capacity SHA-X-Sepharose (5.4 micromol of SHA/mL of gel), PDBA-alkaline phosphatase conjugates were shown to be stable with respect to both the alkaline (pH 11.0) and acidic (pH 2.5) buffers utilized to recover anti-alkaline phosphatase during affinity chromatography. Boronic acid complex formation was compared to covalent immobilization of alkaline phosphatase on Affi-Gel 10 and Affi-Gel 15. PDBA-AP.SHA-X-Sepharose was shown to afford superior performance to both Affi-Gel 10 and Affi-Gel 15 with respect to immobilization of alkaline phosphatase, retention of anti-alkaline phosphatase and recovery of anti-alkaline phosphatase under alkaline conditions. High capacity SHA-X-Sepharose (> or = 7 micromol of SHA/mL of gel) was shown to afford superior performance to moderate capacity SHA-X-Sepharose (4.5 micromol of SHA/mL of gel) with respect to stability at pH 11.0 and pH 2.5 when a PDBA-alphaHuman IgG conjugate with a low incorporation ratio of only 1.5:1 was immobilized on SHA-X-Sepharose and subsequently utilized for affinity chromatography of Human IgG. The results are interpreted in terms of either a bivalent or trivalent interaction involving boronic acid complex formation.

Abstract
A chemical affinity system exhibiting antibody-like properties is described. The system exploits bioconjugates with appended phenylboronic acid (PBA) moieties and a support-bound phenylboronic acid complexing reagent derived from salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA) for protein immobilization on a chromatographic support. The structure of the PBA.SHA complex was characterized by 11B NMR and mass spectrometry and compared with complexes derived from model compounds. Protein modification reagents were synthesized from 3-aminophenylboronic acid and utilized to prepare bioconjugates from alkaline phosphatase (AP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). AP obtained from one source afforded PBA bioconjugates exhibiting significant loss of enzymatic activity, whereas AP obtained from a second source afforded PBA bioconjugates exhibiting only a modest loss of enzymatic activity. Conversely, HRP afforded PBA bioconjugates exhibiting no loss of enzymatic activity. SHA-modified Sepharose was prepared by reaction of methyl 4-[(6-aminohexanoylamino)methyl]salicylate with CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B, followed by treatment with aqueous alkaline hydroxylamine. PBA-AP and PBA-HRP conjugates were efficiently immobilized on SHA-Sepharose at pH 8.3. PBA-AP conjugates were retained after washing with acidic buffers at pH 6.7, 4.2, and 2.5, whereas PBA-HRP conjugates were retained after washing with buffer at pH 6.7, but were eluted to some extent at and below pH 4.2. The results are interpreted in terms of multivalent interactions involving boronic acid complex formation between the enzyme bioconjugates and immobilized complexing reagent.
