Verificación del desempeño general del método Elecsys® Chagas en la detección de anticuerpos específicos contra Trypanosoma cruzi

Resumen La enfermedad de Chagas es una parasitosis producida por Trypanosoma cruzi, prevalente principalmente en el continente americano, y observada en regiones no endémicas, producto de viajes y migraciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el desempeño del ensayo Elecsys® Chagas (Roche Diag...

Hemagglutination in gill capillaries of sheepshead, Archosargus probatocephalus (Perciformes: Sparidae), infected by a myxosporidean

Abstract During a survey Myxozoa, four specimens of the sheepshead (18 ± 1.5 cm and 59 ± 2.5 g) (Archosargus probatocephalus) were collected in the Ipioquinha river (Maceió/AL). Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed erythrocyte agglutinations in gill capillaries located near spherical...

Serologic strategy in detecting RHD altered alleles in Brazilian blood donors

ABSTRACT Background: We evaluated different technological approaches and anti-D clones to propose the most appropriate serologic strategy in detecting the largest numbers of D variants in blood donors. Methods: We selected 101 samples from Brazilian blood donors with different expressions of D in our d...

Effect of nabumetone on humoral immune responses in mice

Nabumetone is used to reduce the pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. In the current study, immunomodulatory effect of Nabumetone is investigated in mice. The control group was administered normal saline orally as placebo. Nabumetone was administered orally via gavage in two treatment groups at...

Blood typing in positive DEA 1 dogs: comparative analysis between immunochromatography, hemagglutination and flow cytometry

Blood typing techniques have been improved to ensure greater safety for transfusion procedures. Typification for the DEA 1 antigen through flow cytometry should offer more reliability to routine immunohematology in donor and recipient dogs. Currently, the DEA 1 group is starting to be an autosomal domina...

Lectin activity in mycelial extracts of Fusarium species

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Lectins are non-immunogenic carbohydrate-recognizing proteins that bind to glycoproteins, glycolipids, or polysaccharides with high affinity and exhibit remarkable ability to agglutinate erythrocytes and other cells. In the present study, ten Fusarium species previously not explored for lectins ...

Avaliação da prova de hemaglutinação passiva no diagnóstico da leptospirose humana

Rev. Inst. Adolfo Lutz; 44 (1), 1984
A prova de hemaglutinação passiva foi avaliada em relação à soroaglutínação microscópica em 437 amostras de soros provenientes de 192 pacientes com quadro clínico sugestivo de leptospirose, internados no Hospital de Isolamento "Emílio Ribas", em São Paulo. A prova de hemaglutinação passiva ...
