Anticancer effects of parasite extracts of leishmaniasis and toxoplasma On resistant cell line (A2780-CP) and sensitive (A2780) to cisplatin [PDF]
Cancer is one of the problems of human society that threatens human health. Since anti-cancer drugs have multiple side effects, identification of the biological processes and the protozoan antigens leads to the introduction of suitable candidates.

Rapid Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitic Protozoa, with a Focus on Entamoeba histolytica
Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive intestinal pathogenic parasitic protozoan that causes amebiasis. It must be distinguished from Entamoeba dispar and E.

Abstract Objective This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between cathepsins and epilepsy, using Mendelian randomization (MR) and mediation analysis. Methods Publicly accessible summary statistics on epilepsy were obtained from FinnGen and the International League Against Epilepsy Consortium.

A perspective on clonal phenotypic (antigenic) variation in protozoan parasites
Intra-clonal phenotypic (antigenic) variation is used by many pathogens to evade the consequences of immune-mediated killing by mammalian hosts. In this substantially theoretical article, I emphasise that antigenic variation (sensu stricto) involves no change in genotype; its importance as a mechanism for promoting pathogen transmission and its ...

Antigenicity of cystatin-binding proteins from parasitic protozoan Detection by a proteinase inhibitor based capture immunoassay (PINC-ELISA) [PDF]
A novel immunoassay (PINC-ELISA) was designed using proteinase inhibitors of the cystatin superfamily (PINC) in the solid phase, to promote the selective capture of cysteine proteinases. The method was applied in the identification of papain-like antigens from parasitic protozoa. PINC of human origin, namely recombinant cystatin C (r-cystatin C) or low
