Proteomics analysis of faecal proteins in the tick Haemaphysalis flava

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Ticks and tick-borne diseases are of major public health concern. Currently, development of vaccines against ticks is considered crucial for their control. A critical step in this process is the screening of viable antigens.

Human salivary protein-derived peptides specific-salivary SIgA antibodies enhanced by nasal double DNA adjuvant in mice play an essential role in preventing Porphyromonas gingivalis colonization: an in-vitro study

BMC Oral Health, 2023
Abstract Background We previously showed that fimbriae-bore from Poryphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), one of the putative periodontopathogenic bacteria specifically bound to a peptide domain (stat23, prp21) shared on statherin or acidic proline-rich protein 1 (PRP1) molecule of human salivary proteins (HSPs).

Colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases share common salivary proteomic pathways

Scientific Reports
Inflammatory bowels diseases (IBD) are high risk conditions for colorectal cancer (CRC). The discovery of IBD and CRC noninvasive protein/peptide biomarkers using saliva and feces was the aim of this study involving 20 controls, 25 IBD (12 Crohn’s ...

Comparative salivary proteome of hepatitis B- and C-infected patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV) infections are an important cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The natural history has a prominent latent phase, and infected patients may remain undiagnosed; this situation may lead to the continuing ...

Comparative salivary proteomics analysis of children with and without dental caries using the iTRAQ/MRM approach

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background Dental caries is a major worldwide oral disease afflicting a large proportion of children. As an important host factor of caries susceptibility, saliva plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of caries.

The salivary secretome of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes (Diptera: Glossinidae) infected by salivary gland hypertrophy virus. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
The competence of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes (Diptera; Glossinidae) to acquire salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV), to support virus replication and successfully transmit the virus depends on complex interactions between Glossina and SGHV ...

Phosphoproteomic Analysis of Haemaphysalis longicornis Saliva Reveals the Influential Contributions of Phosphoproteins to Blood-Feeding Success

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Tick saliva, an essential chemical secretion of the tick salivary gland, is indispensable for tick survival owing to the physiological influence it exerts on the host defence mechanisms via the instrumentality of its cocktail of pharmacologically active ...

Strains of Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces viscosus Exhibit Structurally Variant Fimbrial Subunit Proteins and Bind to Different Peptide Motifs in Salivary Proteins [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1999
ABSTRACT Oral strains of Actinomyces spp. express type 1 fimbriae, which are composed of major FimP subunits, and bind preferentially to salivary acidic proline-rich proteins (APRPs) or to statherin. We have mapped genetic differences in the fimP subunit genes and the peptide ...
