Cytotoxic Activities of Eosinophil Cationic Protein and Eosinophil-derived Neurotoxin: In Silico Analysis.
BACKGROUND Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil derived-neurotoxin (EDN) are homologous ribonuclease (RNAse) A family proteins. The objective of the present study was to in silico characterize ECP and EDN with respect to their cytotoxic activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Structural, physicochemical, and conserved domain characterizations were carried-out using open-source software,...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin and eosinophil cationic protein in tropical pulmonary eosinophilia.
Because eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) are critical in the pathogenesis of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia (TPE), we analyzed genetic polymorphisms of both in 181 individuals from southern India with varying clinical manifestations of Wuchereria bancrofti infection (including 26 with TPE). Using haplotype frequency analysis, we identified four known (o...
متن کاملEosinophil cationic protein is not only a distinctive eosinophil protein
We read with interest the article by Qiu et al (Thorax 2007;62:475–82). In this paper, neutrophils and eosinophils were identified using mouse anti-human neutrophil elastase and anti-eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), both monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). mAbs against ECP have been used to detect total eosinophils, but immunostaining techniques evidenced that the number of ECP cells was higher tha...
