Relationships in subtribe Diocleinae (Leguminosae; Papilionoideae) inferred fro...
Varela, Eduardo S.; Lima, João P. M. S.; Galdino, Alexsandro S.; Pinto, Luciano da S.; Bezerra, Walderly M.; Nunes, Edson P.; Alves, Maria A. O.The complete sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS/5.8S) were determined for species belonging to six genera from the subtribe Diocleinae as well as for the anomalous genera Calopogonium and Pachyrhizus. Phylogenetic trees constructed by distance matrix, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods showed that Calopo- gonium and Pachyrhizus were outside the clad...
Vaccination with a CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell epitopes-based recombinant chimeric pro...
Mendes, Tiago A. O.; Dias, Daniel S.; Ribeiro, Patrícia A. F.; Martins, Vívian T.; Lage, Daniela P.; Costa, Lourena E.; Chávez-Fumagalli, Miguel A.Vaccination seems to be the best approach to control visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Resistance against infection is based on the development of a Th1 immune response characterized by the production of interferons-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-12 (IL-12), granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), among others. A number of antigens have been tested as potential targets...
