Novel role for albumin in innate immunity: serum albumin inhibits the growth of Blastomyces dermatitidis yeast form in vitro.

abstract：:Localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) runs in families, and a predisposition to develop disease appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Patients with LJP have elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2), and this is most striking in black LJP patients. We hypothesized that the markedly elevate...
