A novel clade of cysteinyl leukotriene scavengers in soft ticks [PDF]

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
Inflammation is an important vertebrate defense mechanism against ecto-parasites for which ticks have evolved numerous mechanisms of modulation. AM-33 and TSGP4, related lipocalins from the soft ticks Argas monolakensis and Ornithodoros savignyi bind cysteinyl leukotrienes with high affinity as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry.
