Extracellular vesicles in infectious diseases caused by protozoan parasites in ...
Pontes,Leticia Gomes de; Altei,Wanessa Fernanda; Galan,Asier; Bilić,Petra; Guillemin,Nicolas; Kuleš,Josipa; Horvatić,AnitaAbstract Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound vesicles of growing interest in vetetinary parasitology. The aim of the present report was to provide the first isolation, quantification and protein characterization of EVs from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) sera infected with Theileria spp. Methods: Infected animals were identified through optical microscopy and PCR. EVs were isolated from...
Heterologous fibrin sealant derived from snake venom: from bench to bedside – a...
Ferreira Jr,Rui Seabra; Barros,Luciana Curtolo de; Abbade,Luciana Patrícia Fernandes; Barraviera,Silvia Regina Catharino SartoriAbstract Hemostatic and adhesive agents date back to World War II, when homologous fibrin sealant came onto scene. Considering that infectious diseases can be transmitted via human blood, a new heterologous fibrin sealant was standardized in the 1990s. Its components were a serine protease (a thrombin-like enzyme) extracted from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus snakes and a fibrinogen-rich cryoprecipit...
