Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT
Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (Maria Karolaynne da Silva, Caio Patrício de Souza Sena, Davi Serradella Vieira, Magdi E. A.

Biochemical Journal, 1989 Fragments of the lipophosphoglycan of Leishmania donovani were generated by phospholipase C digestion and mild acid hydrolysis. The fragments were purified and examined for inhibitory activity on protein kinase C isolated from rat brains. On a molar basis, the 1-O-alkylglycerol portion of LPG exhibited the most inhibitory activity, whereas the ...T B, McNeely, G, Rosen, M V, Londner, S J, Turco +3 moreopenaire +2 more sourcesMarine silicon for biomedical sustainability
BMEMat, EarlyView.Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract
Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.Yahui Han, Zhibo Yang, Wei Xia, Chengtie Wu +3 morewiley +1 more sourceVirulent and avirulent strains of Toxoplasma gondii which differ in their glycosylphosphatidylinositol content induce similar biological functions in macrophages

[PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: Helminths have profound effects on the immune response, allowing long-term survival of parasites with minimal damage to the host. Some of these effects "spill-over", altering responses to non-helminth antigens or allergens.Quigley, Maria A, Whitworth, JA, Morison, Linda, Namujju, Proscovia B, Kabatereine, N, Quigley, MA, Namujju, PB, Muhangi, L, Kizza, Moses, Muwanga, Moses, Kizza, M, Nampijja, M, Muwanga, M, Muhangi, Lawrence, Nampijja, Margaret, Whitworth, James AG, Quigley, Maria, Ndibazza, J, Elliott, Alison M, Elliott, AM, Morison, L, Ndibazza, Juliet, Whitworth, JAG, Kabatereine, Narcis +23 morecore +1 more sourceA recombinant multi-antigen vaccine formulation containing Babesia bovis merozoite surface antigens MSA-2a1, MSA-2b and MSA-2c elicits invasion-inhibitory antibodies and IFN-γ producing cells

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT
Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential Brad E.

Allergy, EarlyView.No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.Joana Antão, Guilherme Rodrigues, Nazanin Zounemat‐Kermani, Paolo Montuschi, Qichen Deng, Frits M.
