Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing a Common 57-kDa Antigen of Leishmania Species
Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of cDNA, recombinant protein expression and characterization of a buckwheat 16-kDa major allergen.
BACKGROUND Buckwheat is a common food in Japan, Korea and other countries. A candidate major buckwheat allergen, a 16-kDa protein (BWp16), was previously characterized as a pepsin-resistant protein associated with immediate-type allergies to buckwheat. However, whether recombinant BWp16 can react with a patient's IgE remains uncertain. METHODS The cDNA encoding BWp16 from Japanese buckwheat s...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, expression, and characterization of PTPA, a protein that activates the tyrosyl phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 2A.
PTPA, or phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator, is a protein that stimulates the tyrosyl phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 2A in an ATP, Mg(2+)-requiring reaction (Cayla, X., Goris, J., Hermann, J., Hendrix, P., Ozon, R., and Merevede, W. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 658-667). We constructed oligonucleotide probes based on the amino acid sequences of peptides isolated from purified PTPA and...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, characterization, and expression in Escherichia coli of iron superoxide dismutase cDNA from Leishmania donovani chagasi.
A cDNA corresponding to superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1.) was isolated from a Leishmania donovani chagasi (L. d. chagasi) promastigote cDNA library, using PCR with a set of primers derived from conserved amino acids of manganese SODs (MnSODs) and iron SODs (FeSODs). Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences with previously reported SOD amino acid sequences revealed that the L. d. ch...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, expression and characterization of ribokinase of Leishmania major.
Ribokinase (EC 2.1.7.15) from Leishmania major was cloned, sequenced and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The gene expressed an active enzyme that had comparable activity to the same enzyme studied in E. coli. It specifically phosphorylated D-ribose. Under defined conditions, the K(m) for the substrates D-ribose and ATP were 0.3+/-0.04 mM and 0.2+/-0.02 mM, respectively. The turnover numbers ...
