A doença por coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19), causada por síndrome respiratória aguda grave coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), foi declarada uma pandemia pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) em 11 de março de 2020 (1). O conhecimento da resposta imune inata e adaptativa do hospedeiro e eficiência de in...

Diagnostic parameters and reliability of four rapid immunochromatographic tests for dengue 4

Braz. j. infect. dis; 24 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Although performance of rapid immunochromatographic tests (RITs) for dengue virus (DENV) serotypes 1, 2 and 3 is relatively settled, evidence on accuracy of RITs for DENV-4 are based on studies with small sample sizes and with discrepant results. Objectives: To assess accuracy and ...

Development of a prototype immunochromatographic test for rapid diagnosis of respiratory adenovirus infection

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (5), 2017
Abstract Human adenoviruses comprise an important group of etiologic agents that are responsible for various diseases in adults and children, such as respiratory, ocular, gastroenteric, and urinary infections. In immunocompromised and organ-transplanted individuals, these agents can cause generalized inf...

Displacers improve the selectivity of phosphopeptide enrichment by metal oxide affinity chromatography

Abstract: Background: A key process in cell regulation is protein phosphorylation, which is catalyzed by protein kinases and phosphatases. However, phosphoproteomics studies are difficult because of the complexity of protein phosphorylation and the number of phosphorylation sites. Methods: We describ...
