Extracellular vesicles in infectious diseases caused by protozoan parasites in buffaloes

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound vesicles of growing interest in vetetinary parasitology. The aim of the present report was to provide the first isolation, quantification and protein characterization of EVs from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) sera infected with Theileria spp. Methods: In...

Insights into the proteomic profile and gene expression of Lutzomyia longipalpis-derived Lulo cell line

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND Lutzomyia longipalpis-derived cell line (Lulo) has been suggested as a model for studies of interaction between sandflies and Leishmania. OBJECTIVES Here, we present data of proteomic and gene expression analyses of Lulo cell related to interactions with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. M...

Proteomics and antivenom immunoprofiling of Russell's viper (Daboia siamensis) venoms from Thailand and Indonesia

The Eastern Russell's viper, Daboia siamensis, is a WHO Category 1 medically important venomous snake. It has a wide but disjunct distribution in Southeast Asia. The specific antivenom, D. siamensis Monovalent Antivenom (DsMAV-Thailand) is produced in Thailand but not available in Indonesia, where a hete...

Uso de biomarcadores e introducción a la genómica y proteómica clínica para predecir parto pretérmino y rotura prematura de membranas

Cienc. Serv. Salud Nutr; 10 (2), 2019
Introducción: la rotura prematura de membranas fetales ocurre espontáneamente antes del inicio del trabajo de parto, de igual manera, el parto pretérmino es el nacimiento que sobreviene antes de las 37 semanas de gestación. Objetivo: determinar la utilidad de biomarcadores como predictores de parto p...

Cambios en el perfil proteómico de preadipocitos con diferentes condiciones metabólicas

Resumen Introducción y objetivos: El tejido adiposo subcutáneo se considera un depósito con un papel protector desde un punto de vista metabólico. El exceso de tejido adiposo desencadena en obesidad, la cual, está acompañada típicamente por resistencia a insulina, dislipidemia, e hipertensión a...

Aspectos generales del perfil proteómico del Echinococcus granulosus

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
La información disponible referente a las características proteómicas del E. granulosus es escasa (no supera los 50 estudios publicados); y nos parece que la identificación proteómica, podría mejorar la comprensión de algunas características bioquímicas e inmunológicas de la Equinococosis Quís...

Una vacuna de vesículas de membrana externa de Vibrio cholerae es aún una promesa: Caracterización proteómica
Outer membrane vesicle vaccine from Vibrio cholerae is still a promise: Proteomic characterization

Las epidemias de cólera afectan a un gran número de países africanos, asiáticos y del Caribe. Los cambios climatológicos y las constantes migraciones hacen que esta enfermedad se extienda, por lo que resulta necesario disponer de vacunas protectoras. En el presente trabajo se caracterizó una nueva ...

Protein identification from the parotoid macrogland secretion of Duttaphrynus melanostictus

Bufonid parotoid macrogland secretion contains several low molecular mass molecules, such as alkaloids and steroids. Nevertheless, its protein content is poorly understood. Herein, we applied a sample preparation methodology that allows the analysis of viscous matrices in order to examine its proteins. ...

Diagnostic potential of saliva proteome analysis: a review and guide to clinical practice

Abstract: Proteomic techniques have become popular in medicine and dentistry because of their widespread use in analyzing bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine, and gingival crevicular fluids as well as hard tissues such as enamel, dentine, and cementum. This review is a guide to proteomic technique...

Proteomic analysis of the acquired enamel pellicle formed on human and bovine tooth: a study using the Bauru in situ pellicle model (BISPM)

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is an organic film, bacteria-free, formed in vivo as a result of the selective adsorption of salivary proteins and glycoproteins to the solid surfaces exposed to the oral environment. Objective: This study aimed to compare the proteomic profile of AEP formed in...
