Sol i 2 is a potent allergen in Solenopsis invicta venom, and most humans exhibit reactivity to it. The Sol gem 2 allergen found in the venom of the Thai tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata was analysed in the present study. The protein was present in higher amounts than other proteins, as determined by SDSPAGE, and presumably has allergenic properties similar to those of Sol i 2. Sol gem 2 m...

Asparaginases are known to be the cornerstone for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and are used for treatment in all pediatric regimens as well as in the majority of adult treatment protocols. Clinical hypersensitivity reactions against commercially available asparaginase have resulted in failure of asparaginase in treatment of ALL in more than 60% of cases. Thus, it is required ...

rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein nsp4 can induce diarrhea in newborn mice. it has been suggested that nsp4 may be a key determinant for rotavirus pathogenesis and a target for vaccine development. in order to study the biological and morphological role of nsp4 a large amount of the purified protein and antibody against it are required. simian rotavirus sa11 was propagated in bscl cell, puri...

background: candida species are among the most common causes of opportunistic fungal diseases. among candida species, candida albicans is responsible for most infections. having many strains, c. albicans is very polymorph. c. dubliniensis is very similar to albicans species both morphologically and physiologically. for an infection to occur, cell wall proteins play an important role as they ena...

Background: Ovine follicle stimulation hormone (OFSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein and belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones. This hormone plays a key role in the function of the reproductive system: it is essential for sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis in testis and it stimulates the growth of ovulatory follicles in females. Ovine FSH hormone is a heterodimeric hormone consisti...

Goat milk has been a rich source of proteins. The distinctive composition of goat milk, combined with its nutritional value, is linked to the liberation of protein fragments during digestion or technological processing, which are able to perform various biological activities. This has gain more attention due to its broad applications in the food, drug, and various other industries. Thus, here w...

Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) was first identified infecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Kansas in 2006 (16). TriMV has since been identified from infected wheat in: Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming (2). The virus is mechanically transmissible, and associated with a 35-kDa coat protein when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (...

Egg is leading the top 8 allergenic foods in infants. During gastrointestinal digestion, various factors can affect the proteolysis of food allergens, such as interaction with lipids or bile salts. Therefore, the amount of immunologically active protein reaching the intestinal mucosa can be substantially modified. Here we investigated egg white digestion under physiological conditions, includin...
