Zimography is an effective method for detection of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (...
Lisboa,Rodolfo Assis; Andrade,Marcus Vinícius; Cunha-Melo,José RenanPURPOSE: To describe a method to characterize the gelatinase activity of cultured human periodontal fibroblasts stimulated with Pam3Cys and E. coli LPS, ligands of TLR2 and TLR4 respectively, and by centrifugation of the cultures, simulating an orthodontic force. METHODS: To study MMP-2 activity, primary cultures of human periodontal fibroblasts were stimulated with the addition of TLRs 2 and 4 ligands and the ...

THE MOUSE AS AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL FOR TITYUS SERRULATUS SCORPION ENVENOMING
Magalhães,Mônica de Mônico; Viana,Gisele; Arantes,Rosa Maria Esteves; Santos,Tasso Moraes; Cunha-Melo,José RenanThe scorpion toxin induces a number of physiological parameters alterations, as disturbance of cardiac rhythm, heart failure, shock, pancreatic hypersecretion, abortion, respiratory arrhytmias and pulmonary edema. As the purification of the venom fractions is a laborious process, one alternative for this would be the utilization of small animals. We utilized in the present study thity-six mice that received pro...
