Lytic antibodies in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected persons with low parasitemia
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1998)
An antibody-dependent, complement-mediated lysis test performed with three Chilean trypomastigote strains used as target cells revealed strain dependence in the detection of lytic antibodies in chronic chagasic sera. The ...
Improvement of the lytic properties of a β-1,3-glucanase by directed evolution
(2006)
BGLII is a bacterial endoglucanase that hydrolyzes the β-1,3-glucan present in yeast cell walls, resulting in lysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As a result of this property, BGLII is considered a potential tool for ...
Serum antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi antigens in Atacameños patients from highland of northern Chile
(Elsevier, 1996)
In the present work we have investigated the serum antibody spectrum to parasite antigens involved in human T. cruzi infection. Analysis was performed by conventional serology (IHA, IFAT and ELISA), complement-mediated ...
The effect of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase and a xylanase from Gloeophyllum trabeum on the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic residues using a commercial cellulase
(Elsevier, 2018)
Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass depends on the concerted actions of cellulases and accessory proteins. In this work we examined the combined action of two auxiliary proteins from the brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum ...
Nucleotide sequence of a 13-1,3-glucanase Isoenzyme II(A) gene of Oerskovia xanthineolytica LL G109 (Cellulomonas cellulans) and initial characterization of the recombinant enzyme expressed in Bacillus subtilis
(1996)
The nucleotide sequence of the βgIII(A) gene, encoding the extracellular β-1,3-glucanase II(A) (βgIII(A)) of the yeast-lytic actinomycete Oerskovia xanthineolytica LL G109, was determined. Sequence comparison shows that ...
Natural killer cell signal transduction mechanism mediated by lipopolysaccharide activation
(1998)
The increase in human natural killer cell activity (NKCA) in samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) elicited by their incubation with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), appears to result from an indirect ...
Uso de bacteriófagos en gallinas de postura infectadas con Salmonella enterica serotipo Enteritidis: prevención de la colonización intestinal y reproductiva
(2011)
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) remains an important enteropathogen in the poultry industry and public health. Due to the limited effectiveness of control measures, lytic bacteriophages have shown a potential ...
Trypanosoma cruzi evades the complement system as an efficient strategy to survive in the Mammalian host: the specific roles of host/parasite molecules and Trypanosoma cruzi Calreticulin
(Frontiers media SA, 2017)
American Trypanosomiasis is an important neglected reemerging tropical parasitism,
infecting about 8 million people worldwide. Its agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, exhibits
multiple mechanisms to evade the host immune response ...
Virus and Potential Host Microbes from Viral-Enriched Metagenomic Characterization in the High-AltitudeWetland, Salar de Huasco, Chile
(MDPI, 2020)
Salar de Huasco is a wetland in the Andes mountains, located 3800 m above sea level at
the Chilean Altiplano. Here we present a study aimed at characterizing the viral fraction and the
microbial communities through ...
