Lipophosphoglycan 3 From Leishmania infantum chagasi Binds Heparin With Micromo...
Martins, Thaís Viana Fialho; Zeraik, Ana Eliza; Alves, Natália Oliveira; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi de; Mendes, Tiago Antônio de OliveiraLeishmania infantum chagasi is an intracellular protozoan parasite responsible for visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease in humans. Heparin-binding proteins (HBPs) are proteins that bind to carbohydrates present in glycoproteins or glycolipids. Evidence suggests that HBPs present on Leishmania surface participate in the adhesion and invasion of parasites to tissues of both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. I...
Leishmania chagasi heparin-binding protein: Cell localization and participation...
Martins, Thaís Viana Fialho; Carvalho, Thaís Vieira de; Oliveira, Claudia Vânia Miranda de; Paula, Sérgio Oliveira de; Cardoso, Sílvia AlmeidaVisceral leishmaniasis is a fatal human disease caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Leishmania chagasi that is captured by host cells in a process involving classics receptors mediated phagocytosis. The search for molecules involved in this process is important to design strategies to disease control. In this work, we verified the presence of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in L. chagasi promastigotes ...

Martins, Thaís Viana FialhoCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Leishmania infantum chagasi é um protozoário intracelular responsável por causar uma doença fatal em humanos, a leishmaniose visceral. Identificar moléculas que estejam envolvidas no processo de infecção da célula do hospedeiro pelo parasito é importante para a concepção de estratégias para o controle da doença. Dentre estas moléculas estão as Proteín...

Martins, Thaís Viana FialhoCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Visceral leishmaniasis is a fatal human disease caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum/chagasi. The uptake of Leishmania promastigotes by host cells is a process mediated by classics receptors that initiate phagocytosis. The search for molecules that are involved in the infection process of the parasite to the host cell is ...

Martins, Thaís Viana Fialho; Almeida, Patrícia Saraiva Vilas Boas de; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi de; Amaro, Marilane de Oliveira Fani; Prá, Valéria Dalhttp://dx.doi.org/10.5902/223613086427The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria become resistant, has been widelydiscussed in various publications, and plants are one source to search for new drugs that each dayhas become more necessary. This work aimed to evaluate different ways of preparing extracts ofBrassica oleracea var. capitata and test them fronts strain of Staphylococcus aureus using the testo...
