Identification of genes encoding cement-like antigens expressed in the salivary glands of Haemaphysalis longicornis.
A cDNA expression library from the salivary glands of hard tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, was constructed. Immunoscreening was performed using sera of the rabbit repeatedly infested with ticks and seventeen positive clones were obtained. A BLASTP search suggested that 8 sequences matched with that of hypothetical H. longicornis sequence and one clone encoded HL35 antigen U from the same tick ...
متن کاملA Novel Defensin-Like Peptide Associated with Two Other New Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides in Transcriptome of the Iranian Scorpion Venom
Introduction: Scorpion venom is a source of bioactive peptides, and some antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been found in the venom gland of scorpions. Therefore, the discovery of new anti-infective agents is an essential need to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates. Here, we describe three new cationic AMPs, including meuVAP-6, meuAP-18-1, and meuPep34 from the ve...
متن کامل1 Antibacterial activity by hemolymph defensin from 2 the hard tick Haemaphysalis longicornis 3
Ticks are key vectors of some important diseases of humans and animals. Although they 21 are carriers of disease agents, the viability and development of ticks are not harmed by the infectious 22 agents due to their innate immunity. Antimicrobial peptides directly protect hosts against 23 pathogenic agents such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Among the identified and characterized 24 antim...

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...
