Characteristics of Intestinal Flora in Patients With Schistosoma japonicum Infection Undergoing Splenectomy. [PDF]
Parasite ImmunolABSTRACT Schistosomiasis japonica is a parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health. Patients with advanced Schistosoma japonicum infection often suffer from cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Splenectomy has been widely used in the treatment of these patients. Previous studies have confirmed that S. japonicum infection is closely related to

Characterization of the E26H Mutant Schistosoma japonicum Glutathione S-Transferase. [PDF]
ProteinsABSTRACT Glutathione‐S‐transferase, such as that of Schistosoma japonicum (sjGST) belongs to the most widely utilized fusion tags in the recombinant protein technology. The E26H mutation of sjGST has already been found to remarkably improve its ability for binding divalent ions, enabling its purification with immobilized metal affinity chromatography ...
