Ferian, Paulo Eduardo; Bach, Eloisa Carla; Salbego, Fabiano Zanine; Madaloz, Lusiane Zorzi; Volpato, Julieta; Muller, Thiago RinaldiEosinophils are cells of the immune system that have several important functions including phagocytosis of microorganisms, antigen presentation, contribution to chronic inflammation, and immunity against parasites. The hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease in humans that is characterized by persistent eosinophilia (over six months) and variable eosinophil infiltration in organs such as the lungs, s...
Immunodiagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis using mimotope peptides select...
Machado, Christina Monerat Toledo; Ávila, Ricardo Andrez Machado de; NGuyen, Christophe; Granier, Claude; Bueno, Lilian LacerdaELISA and RIFI are currently used for serodiagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL). The accuracy of these tests is controversial in endemic areas where canine infections by Trypanosoma cruzi may occur.We evaluated the usefulness of synthetic peptides that were selected through phage display technique in the serodiagnosis of CVL. Peptides were chosen based on their ability to bind to IgGs purified from i...
