Expression of recombinant antigens in Escherichia coli: application on immunochemical studies of Schistosoma mansoni tegumental antigens.
Sm15 and Sm13 are recognized by antibodies from mice protectively vaccinated with tegumental membranes, suggesting a potential role in protective immunity. In order to raise antibodies for immunochemical investigations, the genes for these antigens were expressed in pGEX and pMal vectors so that comparisons could be made among different expression systems and different genes. The fusion protein...
متن کاملPotency of detergents in enhancing Schistosoma mansoni tegumental antigens.
INTRODUCTION Vaccine strategies represent an essential component for the future control of schistosomiasis. This work aimed to evaluate the role of detergents for potentiating the effect of Schistosoma mansoni tegumental antigens (TA) against challenge infection. METHODOLOGY Two detergents; Triton X-100 (TX-100) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), were selected for extraction of tegumental prot...
متن کاملCloning and evaluation of gene expression and purification of gene encoding recombinant protein containing binding subunit of coli surface antigens CS1 and CS2 from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies against Schistosoma mekongi surface tegumental antigens.
Monoclonal antibodies were produced from naturally infected BALB/c mice. Thirteen hybridomas which were found to produce monoclonal antibodies against surface tegumental antigens of Schistosoma mekongi by ELISA assay were used in this study. The antigen specificities of hybridomas reactive with surface tegumental antigens were characterized and localized by immunoblotting analysis and Avidin-Bi...
متن کاملSchistosoma mansoni cercaria and schistosomulum antigens in serodiagnosis of schistosomiasis.
Schistosoma mansoni cercaria and schistosomulum obtained in vitro were used in immunofluorescence (IF) tests and indirect hemagglutination (IHA) tests of 137 study sera, 44 from subjects infected with S. mansoni and 93 from healthy subjects residing outside areas endemic for the disease. The results of these tests were compared with those obtained by testing the same sera using conventional adu...
