Pairing Alpaca and Llama-Derived Single Domain Antibodies to Enhance Immunoassays for Ricin
Previously, our group isolated and evaluated anti-ricin single domain antibodies (sdAbs) derived from llamas, engineered them to further increase their thermal stability, and utilized them for the development of sensitive immunoassays. In work focused on

This study reveals that Porphyromonas gingivalis suppresses IFN‐γ signaling by downregulating STAT1 in macrophages. Gingipain protease activity and the Type IX Secretion System are essential for this immune evasion mechanism. These findings identify a novel bacterial strategy for host immune suppression and suggest new therapeutic targets for P ...

Gene expression profile in white alpaca (Vicugna pacos) skin
A cDNA library from white alpaca (Vicugna pacos) skin was constructed using SMART technology to investigate the global gene expression profile in alpaca skin and identify genes associated with physiology of alpaca skin and pigmentation.

The alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is an important species for the production of fiber and food. Genetic improvement programs for alpacas have been hindered, however, by the lack of field-practical techniques for artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

We have started up the ALPACA (Andes Large area PArticle detector for Cosmic ray physics and Astronomy) project. The ALPACA experiment is composed of an 83,000 m2 air shower array and a 5,400 m2 underground muon detector array to make wide field-of-view high-sensitivity observations of high-energy cosmic rays/cosmic gamma rays on the Cerro Estuqueria ...

Analysis of the existence of major genes affecting alpaca fiber traits [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the presence of major genes for fiber diameter (FD), SD of FD (SDFD), CV of FD, and comfort factor (CF) in Huacaya (HU) and Suri (SU) Peruvian alpaca breeds.
