Rev. chil. infectol; 40 (6), 2023
INTRODUCCIÓN: La inmunoquimioluminiscencia de micropartículas (CMIA), no es recomendada en el día de hoy para el tamizaje ni confirmación de sífilis en pacientes, las guías chilenas recomiendan tamizaje con V.D.R.L y confirmación con hemaglutinación. OBJETIVO: Determinar la especificidad, sensibi...

Antibodies against Leptospira spp. in bovine serum samples from several Brazilian states analyzed in the period from 2007 to 2015

Bovine leptospirosis assumes great economic importance since it affects several production aspects. Therefore, knowledge about the occurrence and distribution of this disease is fundamental to adopt the correct prevention measures. The present study aimed to evaluate the frequency of anti-Leptospira spp....

Detection, purification and characterization of a lectin from freshwater green algae Spirogyra spp

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Freshwater algae are rich sources of structurally biologically active metabolites, such as fatty acids, steroids, carotenoids and polysaccharides. Among these metabolites, lectins stand out. Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin which bind to carbohydrates or glycoconjugates...

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 ...
