Functional and antigenic properties of the major cysteine proteinase (GP57/51) of Trypanosoma cruzi

The mitochondrial clade was typed by RFLP of the COII maxicircle gene, the MDS clusters were established by multidimensional scaling of microsatellite data, the haplogroups

This study aims to evaluate the biological behavior of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis isolated from different clinical forms of american tegumentar leishmaniasis in BALB/c

3: Western blot analysis of total proteins from epimastigotes and metacyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi (EP and Dm30L) obtained from the triatomine (T) and culture

Mu- cin-like glycoproteins linked to the membrane by glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor are the major acceptors of sialic acid in a reaction catalysed by trans-sialidase in

The molecular karyotype of nine Trypanosoma rangeli strains was analyzed by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis, followed by the chromosomal localization of

The following results were observed after immunization: (1) induction of higher titres of IgG than IgM antibodies, as evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence; (2) significant DTH

(0.005–0.5 ␮ M). While the absence of inhibition observed with both trypsin like inhibitors would be a expected feature due to baupain cysteine proteinase nature, it is interesting

RESUMO: Foram sensibilizadas hemácias humanas 0 Rh negativo com a fração semipuri- ficada (Fp) da proteinase do Trypanosoma cruzi, e testadas quanto a antigenicidade com so- ros
