Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth ...

Differential expression of hemolysin genes in weakly and strongly hemolytic Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Swine dysentery (SD) is a diarrheal disease in fattening pigs that is caused by the strongly hemolytic species Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae, B. hampsonii and B. suanatina. As weakly hemolytic Brachyspira spp. are considered less virulent or

Hemolytic activity of Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
The hemolytic activity of live isolates and clones of Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus was investigated. The isolates were tested against human erythrocytes. No hemolytic activity was detected by the isolates of T. foetus.

The crystal structure of Pneumolysin at 2.0 Å resolution reveals the molecular packing of the pre-pore complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pneumolysin is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) and virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It kills cells by forming pores assembled from oligomeric rings in cholesterol-containing membranes.

Cell-associated hemolysis activity in the clinical strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens MFN1032

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2010
Background MFN1032 is a clinical Pseudomonas fluorescens strain able to grow at 37°C. MFN1032 cells induce necrosis and apoptosis in rat glial cells at this temperature. This strain displays secretion-mediated hemolytic activity involving phospholipase C

Mechanism of Low Hemolytic Activity of Alkyl Type Nonphosphorous Cationic Glycerolipids: Study on Model Membranes

open access: yesКлиническая онкогематология, 2014
Nonphosphorous alkyl cationic glycerolipids cause death of tumor cells with minimal damage of erythrocytes. In this article we demonstrate, that low hemolytic activity of these compounds can be explained by their weak ability to damage the integrity of ...

Infection frequently triggers thrombotic microangiopathy in patients with preexisting risk factors : a single-institution experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Thrombotic microangiopathies are rare conditions characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, microthrombi, and multiorgan insult. The disorders, which include hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, are often acute and ...
