Protein synthesis in rabbit brain was inhibited following the intravenous injection of LSD. The incorporation of [35S]methionine into brain microsomal and synaptic fractions was decreased by 35-45% relative to control values. A selective increase was observed, however, in the relative labeling of a
Crossed affinoimmunoelectrophoresis using concanavalin A and Aleuria aurantia lectin as diantennary glycan- and fucose-specific affinocomponents, respectively, was applied to study changes in the concentration and glycosylation of the acute phase protein alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) in sera
Extracellular African swine fever (ASF) virus particles were specifically agglutinated by several lectins, suggesting the presence of surface glycosylated component(s) containing at least glucose, mannose, or both; galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, or both; N-acetylneuraminic acid and
BACKGROUND
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a periodic febrile disorder, characterised by fever and serositis. The acute phase response during attacks of FMF results from the release of cytokines, which in turn induce increased expression and changed glycosylation of acute phase proteins. A
A method for measuring fucose not bound to proteins in the serum is developed. The level of this enzyme is shown to increase with age. It is increased in adult patients with myeloma, liver cirrhosis, and rheumatic fever and in children with exacerbations of chronic osteomyelitis and
We describe a simple, noninvasive, and effective therapy for leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare inherited disorder of fucose metabolism. This disorder leads to an immunodeficiency caused by the absence of carbohydrate-based selectin ligands on the surface of neutrophils as well
At least 28 polypeptides have been identified in intracellular virus, with molecular weights ranging from 11,500 to 243,000 daltons. By treatment with Nonidet P-40 and 2-mercaptoethanol it is possible to obtain subviral particles that have lost some proteins and have a density in CsCl of 1.31 g/cm3
Forty-one sporadic cases of non-O group 1 Vibrio cholerae gastroenteritis were detected in Orán, Salta, between February 1992 and February 1995. The frequency of isolation was 0.9% of the diarrhea cases. Out of 41 patients, 21 (51.2%) were older than 15 years and 25 (60.9%) were male. All the
The soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata, is a vector of several bacterial and viral pathogens including Borrelia duttoni, a causative agent of relapsing fever and African swine fever virus. Previously, a sialic acid-specific lectin Dorin M was isolated from its hemolymph. Here, we report on the complete
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is a foodborne pathogen that causes typhoid fever and infects only humans. The ability of S. Typhi to survive outside the human host remains unclear, particularly in human carrier strains. In this study, we have investigated the catabolic activity of a
Leukocyte adhesion deficiencies (LAD) are autosomal recessive immunodeficiency syndromes characterized by severe and recurrent bacterial infections, impaired wound healing and leukocytosis. Block in different steps in the leukocyte adhesion cascade causes different types of leukocyte adhesion
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The dry overground parts of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. is widely used in China as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and fever. Polysaccharide is an important component of Pogostemon
Ebolaviruses are emerging pathogens that cause severe and often fatal viral hemorrhagic fevers. Four distinct ebolaviruses are known to cause Ebola virus disease in humans. The ebolavirus envelope glycoprotein (GP1,2) is heavily glycosylated, but the precise glycosylation patterns of ebolaviruses
The Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as a hemorrhagic fever and discovered in 1976, is dangerous, highly infectious disease with very high mortality. There are no licensed therapeutics against EVD, although a range of medicines and therapies are currently being evaluated. During the 2014
Mosquitoes are important vectors of parasitic and viral diseases with Anopheles gambiae transmitting malaria and Aedes aegypti spreading yellow and Dengue fevers. Using two different approaches (solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase or hydrophilic interaction HPLC fractionation followed by
