Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 B. over there posted excerpts from the following study: Elastase Is the Only Human Neutrophil Granule Protein That Alone Is Responsible for In Vitro Killing of Borrelia burgdorferi the study can be found here: http://iai.asm.org/cgi/content/full/66/4/1408 His post here: /message/82581 The following statement from the study grabbed my attention for a different reason: " It was somewhat unexpected that among all granule proteins, only elastase was found to kill B. burgdorferi in our experimental conditions. This protein, which consists of 218 amino acid residues and contains two asparagine-linked carbohydrate side chains " My spectra cell testing showed me deficient in asparagine (amino acid). Another friend of mine, who also has chronic osteomyelitis, also tested defecient in asparagine. penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
