TL;DR
The partial amino acid sequence of L1 protein light and heavy chains reveals an overall structure identical to the two macrophage proteins, MRP‐8 and MRP-14, deduced from the sequence of the cDNA encoding the polypeptides.
Abstract
The partial amino acid sequence of L1 protein light and heavy chains reveals an overall structure identical to the two macrophage proteins, MRP-8 and MRP-14, deduced from the sequence of the cDNA encoding the polypeptides. The light chain of L1 protein (L1-L) was shown to contain two modified amino acid residues.

NatureTwo calcium-binding proteins in infiltrate macrophages of rheumatoid arthritis

Macrophages act prominently in the inflammatory response and it is reported here that they express two calcium-binding proteins, referred to as MRP-8 and MRp-14, which are specific for cells of myeloid origin and are observed in blood granulocytes and monocytes but not in normal tissue macrophages.

The electrophoretic mobility of L1 was strongly influenced by calcium ions, suggesting uptake of calcium by the protein, and L1 adhered to glass surfaces and filters used for concentration of protein solutions.

215 Citations1987Julia R. Dorin, Michal Novák +4 more
It is confirmed that the gene encoding CF antigen is on chromosome 1 and the gene is localized to a particular region, and the ammo-acid sequence predicted from the nucleotide sequence shows significant homology with intestinal and brain calcium-binding proteins.

Cytoplasmic L1 was well preserved by both precipitating and cross-linking fixatives, the latter being preferable to avoid leaching out of antigenic material and to obtain good cellular morphology.

A mouse monoclonal antibody with specificity for monocytes and tissue histiocytes was produced by immunization of a BALB/c mouse with peripheral blood monocyte components derived by affinity chromatography of detergent-solubilized monocyte material on Sepharose 4B coupled to rabbit anti-monocyte antibodies.

It is suggested that plasma levels of L1 may reflect the rate of leucocytes turnover in vivo and that the L1 release phenomenon may be used for studies on leucocyte reactions in vitro.

In a recent immunohistochemical study, the authors showed that L1 has a restricted distribution within the monocyte-derived cell lineage, being mainly confined to reactive histiocytes (infiltrating macrophages).

It was shown that L1 is particularly well preserved in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded routine material, and was a much more reliable marker for such cells than lysozyme, except that the latter was better expressed by epithelioid and giant cells.

A poor correlation was found between L1 levels, CRP, BLC, and BSR, suggesting that these parameters reflect different aspects of the response to tissue damage and inflammation, and L1 and CRP seem equal in distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections.

The varying epidermal occurrence of L1 antigen in skin diseases probably signified different degrees of proliferative activity of the epithelial cells and could apparently not be ascribed to uptake from the dermis.

The results show that α-1-anti-trypsin is the most reliable marker of malignant histiocytes but that the as yet uncharacterized antigen defined by S22 may offer a promising alternative.

The amino acid sequence of an amyloid-fibril protein Es492 of immunoglobulin-lambda-light-chain origin (AL) was elucidated from structural studies of peptides derived from digestion of the protein with trypsin, thermolysin, chymotrypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase and from cleavage of theprotein with CNBr and BNPS-skatole.

The results suggest that sequential L1 measurements may provide a measure of the inflammatory state of the lung and a rapid indication of the response to treatment and that L1 protein is a marker of inflammation within the lung.

Synthesis of several proteins, referred to by number as members of the "Rheuma" set, is shown to increase in the leukocyte preparations from patients with classical rheumatoid arthritis, and appear to be indicators of disease activity.
