Cationic antimicrobial peptides inactivate shiga toxin-encoding bacteriophages
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018)
Shiga toxin (Stx) is the principal virulence factor during Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections. We have previously reported the inactivation of bacteriophage encoding Stx after treatment with chitosan, ...
Serological diagnosis of lung cystic hydatid disease using the synthetic p176 peptide
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
Cystic hydatid disease (CHD) is a worldwide zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis is based on imagenological tools (abdominal ultrasound, chest X-rays, or computed ...
Bactericidal and Hemolytic Activities of Synthetic Peptides Derived from Granulysin
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2010-04)
Granulysin is a human polypeptide produced by cytolytic cells active against a broad range of microbes. Three peptides covering the regions 25-50 (Gr-1 and Gr-2) and 39-62 (Gr-3) of granulysin were synthesized, and their ...
Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the diagnosis of Chagas' disease using synthetic peptides
(1992)
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed to detect antibodies in human sera to synthetic peptides derived from the repeating amino acid sequence in recombinant Trypanosoma cruzi antigens. Sixty serum ...
28-mer fragment derived from enterocin CRL35 displays an unexpected bactericidal effect on listeria cells
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2015-01-01)
Two shorter peptides derived from enterocin CRL35, a 43-mer bacteriocin, were synthesized i. e. the N-terminal fragment spanning from residues 1 to 15, and a 28-mer fragment that represents the Cterminal of enterocin CRL35, ...
Synthetic peptides as a promising alternative to control viral infections in Atlantic Salmon.
Viral infections in salmonids represent an ongoing challenge for the aquaculture industry. Two RNA viruses, the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and the infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV), have become a latent ...
Effects of N-terminus modifications on the conformation and permeation activities of the synthetic peptide L1A
(Springer, 2016-06-01)
We investigate the effect of the N-terminus modification of the L1A, a synthetic octadecapeptide, on its helical content, affinity and lytic action in model membranes and on its hemolytic and antibacterial activities. L1A ...
High-throughput analysis of synthetic peptides for the immunodiagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
