Lactoferrin-mediated transfer of iron to intracellular ferritin in human monocytes.
TL;DR: The results suggest that lactoferrin is internalized into monocytes and that iron is transferred to ferritin, which may contribute to an understanding of the accumulation of iron in the monocyte/macrophage system observed during inflammatory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of beta-2-microglobulin in serum and plasma by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Ole Weis Bjerrum,Henrik Birgens +1 more
TL;DR: A simple technique for the measurement of beta-2-microglobulin (beta 2M) in serum was developed using rabbit anti-human antibodies, employing commercially available reagents in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial and venous thrombosis by high platelet count and high hematocrit: 108 521 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study.
TL;DR: It is unclear whether high platelet count or high hematocrit predict risk of thrombosis in individuals from the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imatinib mesylate in idiopathic and postpolycythemic myelofibrosis
Hans Carl Hasselbalch,Ole Weiss Bjerrum,B A Jensen,Nielsaage Tøffner Clausen,Per Boye Hansen,Henrik Birgens,Marianne Hamilton Therkildsen,Elisabeth Ralfkiaer +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that leukocytotic and thrombocytosis are seen in most patients with myelofibrosis during treatment with imatinib and combination therapy with HU or IFN seems safe and well tolerated and followed by a decrease in disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in Denmark. A National Population-Based Retrospective Study on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in Denmark 1998-2008
TL;DR: A retrospective national population‐based study of adult ALL in Denmark between 1998 and 2008 finds that the cure rates, not least for the elderly, are unacceptably low, and call for new strategies in the treatment of adultALL in all age groups.
