Immunomodulatory effects of tick saliva
(Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2011-01-01)
Ticks are bloodsucking ectoparasites that cause great damage to host organisms, so these ectoparasites are of great importance in medicine and veterinary medicine. All the biological success achieved by ticks is due to the ...

Interaction between saliva’s adenosine and tick parasitism: effects on feeding and reproduction
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
It has recently been demonstrated that saliva from Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks contains adenosine (ADO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), two non-protein ...
Interaction between saliva's adenosine and tick parasitism: effects on feeding and reproduction
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2017)
Background: It has recently been demonstrated that saliva from Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks contains adenosine (ADO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), two non-protein molecules that have significant immunomodulatory properties. ...
Proteome of Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick saliva induced by the secretagogues pilocarpine and dopamine
(ElsevierAmsterdam, 2013-12)
One dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to separate proteins from the saliva of Rhipicephalus sanguineus female ticks fed on rabbits. Gel slices were subjected to tryptic digestion and analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC ...
Immunomodulatory effects of tick saliva
(Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2014)
Tick saliva inhibits the chemotactic function of MIP-1 alpha and selectively impairs chemotaxis of immature dendritic cells by down-regulating cell-surface CCR5
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods that secrete immunomodulatory molecules through their saliva to antagonize host inflammatory and immune responses. As dendritic cells (DCs) play a major role in host immune responses, we ...
Immune recognition of salivary proteins from the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus differs according to the genotype of the bovine host
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
Males of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus produce salivary immunoglobulin-binding proteins and allotypic variations in IgG are associated with ...
Tick saliva induces regulatory dendritic cells: MAP-kinases and Toll-like receptor-2 expression as potential targets
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are bloodsucking ectoparasitic arthropods of human and veterinary medical importance. Tick saliva has been shown to contain a wide range of bioactive molecules with vasodilatory, antihemostatic, and ...
