(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008-06)The IgG index measures the intrathecal immunoglobulin production and it is a useful tool for diagnosis of inflammatory diseases involving the central nervous system. This index is based on the precise quantification of ...
-
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2011-01)Echinococcus granulosus, the agent of hydatid disease, presents an indirect life cycle, with canines (mainly dogs) as definitive hosts, and herbivores and human as intermediary ones. In intermediary hosts fertile and ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 1982)Esta disertación contribuye a la comprensión de las relaciones genéticas, estructurales y funcionales existentes entre los complejos principales de histocompatibilidad de las especies y el sistema del complemento. Se han ...
-
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2005-04)Calreticulin, a calcium-binding protein that is highly conserved in its multiple functions, is present in a wide spectrum of subcellular compartments in virtually every cell of higher organisms. In this article, we propose ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2016)Las hemocianinas son metaloglicoproteínas de elevado tamaño presentes en la hemolinfa de algunos moluscos, cuya función principal es el transporte de oxígeno. La hemocianina más estudiada se obtiene de la Lapa Californiana, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-03)Calreticulin (CRT) from vertebrates is a calcium-binding protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There, it directs the conformation of proteins and controls calcium levels. This review will focus on several ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2010)Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the agent of Chagas’ disease, the sixth most important neglected tropical disease worldwide, causes 50,000 deaths per year in Latin America. T. cruzi calreticulin (TcCRT), a highly pleiotropic ...
-
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014-02)Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin (TcCRT) is a virulence factor that binds complement C1, thus inhibiting the activation of the classical complement pathway and generating pro-phagocytic signals that increase parasite ...
-
(UNIVERSIDAD AUSTRAL CHILE, FACULTAD CIENCIAS VETERINARIAS, 1995)In order to verify the presence of immunodiagnostic antigenic fractions and their persistence in the course of a natural infection, the immune response of Fasciola hepatica infected sheep was studied. Serum samples from ...
-
(1993)Pure 125I-radiolabeled chicken IgG was inoculated intravenously into 2-week old chickens. Radioactivity in lachrymal fluid samples was first detected 10 minutes postinoculation (PI). Radioactivity levels declined up to day ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014)Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas’ disease, the sixth neglected tropical disease worldwide, infects10–12 million people in Latin America. Differently from T. cruzi epimastigotes, trypomastigotes arecomplement-resistant ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011)In Trypanosoma cruzi, calreticulin (TcCRT) translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the area of flagellum emergence. We propose herein that the parasite uses this molecule to capture complement C1, in an ...
