Degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of venom from the snake Bothrops asper: a histochemical and immunocytochemical study.
(1991)
The degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of Bothrops asper venom were studied by histological, lectin histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. According to our observations, ...
Selecting key toxins for focused development of elapid snake antivenoms and inhibitors guided by a Toxicity Score
(2015-09-15)
For more than 100 years, antivenoms have been produced by traditional methods of immunization of large mammals with mixtures of snake venoms (World Health Organization, 2010 and Gutiérrez et al., 2011). With the introduction ...
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Genome and Expression in Breast Cancer Tissue: Effect of EBV Infection of Breast Cancer Cells on Resistance (Taxol)
(Journal of Virologia 80(2) p 845-853., 2006-01)
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been detected in subsets of breast cancers. In order to elaborate on these
observations, we quantified by real-time PCR (Q-PCR) the EBV genome in biopsy specimens of breast cancer
tissue ...
Especies de trips asociadas a plantas arvenses en la provincia de la Habana
(Métodos en Ecología y Sistemática, vol. 5, n. 1, 2010, 2010-04)
Las plantas arvenses constituyen reservorios importantes para los trips, desde donde parten para infestar los diversos cultivos de importancia económica. Para conocer los tisanópteros presentes en las mismas se muestrearon ...
Characterization and phylogenetic relationships of strains of Dengue type 1 virus from Costa Rica
(Rev. Biol. Trop. (Int. J. Trop. Biol.), vol. 55, n. 2, 2007, 2007)
Phylogenetic analysis of the envelope gene sequence (E) of three isolated Dengue virus type 1 (DEN- 1) sequences from the Costa Rican 1993 epidemic was performed. All the strains fell into genotype V. Genotype V has grouped ...
Identification and Functional Characterization of CLCN1 Mutations Found in Nondystrophic Myotonia Patients
(2016)
Mutations in the gene coding for the skeletal muscle Cl− channel (CLCN1) lead to dominant or recessive myotonia. Here, we identified and characterized CLCN1 mutations in Costa Rican patients, who had been clinically diagnosed ...
Isolation and characterization of myotoxin II from Atropoides (Bothrops) nummifer snake venom, a new Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologu
(2000)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 of class II are commonly found in the venoms of crotalid snakes. As an approach to
understanding their structure±activity relationship, diverse natural variants have been characterized ...
