      t-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, an antioxidant food additive, inhibited the growth of Trypanosoma cruzi by almost 100% at 0.5 mM concentration. This compound inhibited 70% of oxygen consumption of epimastigotes. The redox level ...
    • Ibberson, Mark R.; Copier, John P.; Llop Romero, Elena; Navarrete, Cristina; Hill, Adrian V.S.; Cruickshank, J. Kennedy; So, Alex K.L. (1998)
      Interactions involving the T-cell receptor (TCR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are fundamental to the generation of a specific immune response. The study of interpopulation differences in TCR genes may identify ...
    • Aravena, Mauricio; Pérez, C.; Pérez, V.; Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Gómez, Christian; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Nishimura, Sumiyo; Sabaj, B.; Walter, Robin Ann (ELSEVIER SCI IRELAND LTD, 2005-03)
      T-kininogen (T-KG) is a precursor of T-kinin, the most abundant kinin in rat serum, and also acts as a strong and specific cysteine proteinase inhibitor. Its expression is strongly induced during aging in rats, and expression ...
    • Pérez, Viviana; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Aravena, Mauricio; Gómez, Christian; Sabaj Diez, Valeria; Colombo, Alicia; Nishimura, Sumiyo; Pérez Núñez, Claudio; Walter, Robin Ann; Sierra, Felipe (ELSEVIER, 2006-03)
      Basal proliferation of endothelial cells increases with age, and this might play a role in the etiology of age-related vascular diseases, as well as angiogenesis. Serum kininogen levels increase during aging in rats and ...
    • Leiva-Salcedo, Elias; Perez, Viviana; Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Walter, Robin Ann; Sierra, Felipe (Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)
      Serum levels of T-kininogen increase dramatically as rats approach the end of their lifespan. Stable expression of the protein in Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts leads to a dramatic inhibition of cell proliferation, as well as ...
    • Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Aravena, Mauricio; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Pérez, Viviana; Gómez, Christian; Sabaj Diez, Valeria; Nishimura, Sumiyo; Pérez Núñez, Claudio; Colombo, Alicia; Walter, Robin Ann; Sierra, Felipe (ELSEVIER, 2005-12)
      Plasma levels of kininogens increase with age in both rats and humans. Kininogens are inhibitors of cysteine proteinases, and filarial cysteine proteinase inhibitors (cystatins) reduce the proliferation of T cells. We ...
    • Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Leiva-Salcedo, Elias; Gómez, Christian R.; Pérez, Viviana; Li, Min; Torres, Claudio; Walter, Robin Ann; Murasko, Donna M.; Sierra, Felipe (Gerontological Society of America, 2006)
      T-kininogen (T-KG) is a reliable biomarker of aging in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Here we confirm, in a longitudinal study, a similar behavior in Fisher 344 rats of both sexes. In males, the increase in serum levels of T-KG ...
    • Díaz Zúñiga, Jaime; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta; Alvarez, C.; Monasterio, G.; Benítez, A.; Ciuchi, P.; Díaz, C.; Mardones, J.; Escobar, A.; Sanz, M.; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Blackwell Munksgaard, 2015)
      & Sons Ltd. Background and Objective: Based on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigenicity, different Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans serotypes have been described. Serotype b strains have demonstrated a stronger capacity ...
    • Maldonado Maldonado, Edio Luis; Rojas, Diego A.; Urbina, Fabiola; Solari Illescas, Aldo Gerónimo (Public Library Science, 2021)
      The unicellular protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is the causing agent of Chagas disease which affects several millions of people around the world. The components of the cell signaling pathways in this parasite have not been ...
