Evaluation of three recombinant proteins for the development of ELISA and immun...
Santos, Anna Raquel Ribeiro dos; Serufo, Ângela Vieira; Figueiredo, Maria Marta; Godoi, Lara Carvalho; Vitório, Jéssica Gardone; Marcelino, Andreza PainBACKGROUND Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is an infectious disease that is a significant cause of death among infants aged under 1 year and the elderly in Brazil. Serodiagnosis is a mainstay of VL elimination programs; however, it has significant limitations due to low accuracy. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate three recombinant Leishmania infantum proteins (rFc, rC9, and rA2) selected from previous proteomi...
Effect of ionizing radiation exposure on Trypanosoma cruzi ubiquitin-proteasome...
Cerqueira, Paula Gonçalves; Silva, Danielle Gomes Passos; Rocha, João Pedro Vieira da; Mendes, Isabela Cecilia; Oliveira, Karla Andrade detIn recent years, proteasome involvement in the damage response induced by ionizing radiation (IR)became evident. However, whether proteasome plays a direct or indirect role in IR-induced damageresponse still unclear. Trypanosoma cruzi is a human parasite capable of remarkable high tolerance toIR, suggesting a highly efficient damage response system. Here, we investigate the role of T. cruzi pro-teasome in the ...
Epitope mapping of the HSP83.1 protein of Leishmania braziliensis discloses nov...
Souza, Daniel Menezes; Mendes, Tiago Antônio de Oliveira; Gomes, Matheus de Souza; Cunha, João Luís Reis; Nagem, Ronaldo Alves PintoGold standard serological diagnostic methods focus on antigens that elicit a strong humoral immune response that is specific to a certain pathogen. In this study, we used bioinformatics approaches to identify linear B-cell epitopes that are conserved among Leishmania species but are divergent from the host species Homo sapiens and Canis familiaris and from Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas dise...

Nagem, Ronaldo Alves PintoOrientadores: Igor Polikarpov, José Antonio Brum; Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Fisica Gleb Wataghin; Resumo: Atualmente, os modelos tridimensionais de macromoléculas biológicas obtidos por meio das técnicas de difração de raios-X (cristalografia) ou de ressonância magnética nuclear constituem uma das bases principais para o desenho racional de fármacos. Nesse contexto, a ár...
