Isolation and characterization of a cysteine proteinase from Fasciola hepatica adult worms
(Elsevier, 1989)
Adult Fasciola hepatica worms contain multiple proteinases capable of degrading hemoglobin, immunoglobulins and collagen. Here we report the isolation and biochemical characterization of a cysteine proteinase from acidic ...
Fasciola hepatica cysteine proteinases: Immunodominant antigens in human fascioliasis
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997)
Fasciola hepatica adult worm cysteine proteinases were active-site, affinity radio-labeled with benzyloxicarbonyl-L-tyrosine-L-alanine diazomethylketone (Z-Tyr125I-Ala-CHN2). Sera from patients with fascioliasis and from ...
Polymerase chain reaction detection of leishmania kDNA from the urine of Peruvian patients with cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2011)
We hypothesized that Leishmania kDNA may be present in urine of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Urine samples and standard diagnostic specimens were collected from patients with skin lesions. kDNA polymerase ...
The recombinant cysteine proteinase B (CPB) from Leishmania braziliensis and its domains: promising antigens for serodiagnosis of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in dogs.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-10-23)
Leishmaniasis represents a group of parasitic diseases caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania and is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Leishmaniasis is one of the major tropical neglected ...
The activity of a developmentally regulated cysteine proteinase is required for cyst wall formation in the primitive eukaryote Giardia lamblia
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002-03)
Giardia is an intestinal parasite that belongs to the earliest diverging branch of the eukaryotic lineage of descent. Giardia undergoes adaptation for survival outside the host's intestine by differentiating into infective ...
Anti-Fas2 IgM antibodies in Fasciola hepatica infected patients with positive IgG serology
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
Background: Fascioliasis is an infectious disease caused by parasites Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. Humans are infected by the consumption of vegetables and water contaminated with the infective form of the parasite. ...
Immune response in alpacas against Fasciola hepatica cysteine proteinases Fas1 and Fas2
(Lima (Perú)PE, 2005-08)
A characterization of the humoral immune response of alpacas to Fasciola hepatica Fas1 and Fas2 antigens cysteine proteinases was performed over the course of 6 months of experimental infection. Six adult alpacas aged 1 ...
In silico predicted epitopes from the COOHterminal extension of cysteine proteinase B inducing distinct immune responses during Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis experimental murine infection
(BMC (BioMed Central)Programa de Estudio y Control de Enfermedades Tropicales (PECET)Londres, Inglaterra, 2022)
Cysteine proteinase C1A paralog profiles correspond with phylogenetic lineages of pathogenic piroplasmids
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Piroplasmid parasites comprising of Babesia, Theileria, and Cytauxzoon are transmitted by ticks to farm and pet animals and have a significant impact on livestock industries and animal health in tropical and subtropical ...
Mechanisms of liver fibrosis associated with experimental fasciola hepatica infection: Roles of Fas2 proteinase and hepatic stellate cell activation
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2011)
We have evaluated the possible mechanisms of liver fibrosis caused by Fasciola hepatica in an animal model and in culture using immortalized human stellate cells. Liver biopsies of F. hepatica-infected rats were performed ...
