Identifying Schistosoma japonicum Excretory/Secretory Proteins and Their Interactions with Host Immune System
Schistosoma japonicum is a major infectious agent of schistosomiasis. It has been reported that large number of proteins excreted and secreted by S. japonicum during its life cycle are important for its infection and survival in definitive hosts. These proteins can be used as ideal candidates for vaccines or drug targets. In this work, we analyzed the protein sequences of S. japonicum and found...
متن کاملNon-immune immunoglobulins shield Schistosoma japonicum from host immunorecognition
Schistosomiasis is a major human parasitic disease with a global impact. Schistosoma japonicum, the most difficult to control, can survive within host veins for decades. Mechanisms of immune evasion by the parasite, including antigenic variation and surface masking, have been implicated but not well defined. In this study, we defined the immunoglobulin-binding proteomes of S. japonicum using hu...
متن کاملComparison of Recombinant Proteins from Schistosoma japonicum for Schistosomiasis Diagnosis.
The most important animal reservoirs of Schistosoma japonicum in China are bovines. Diagnosis and control of bovine schistosomiasis is critical for reducing the prevalence of the disease. We screened defined diagnostic antigens that have the potential to increase the sensitivity and specificity of serological assays and to distinguish between active and prior infections. Five recombinant protei...
متن کاملSalmonella–Host Interactions – Modulation of the Host Innate Immune System
Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) are Gram-negative bacteria that can invade a broad range of hosts causing both acute and chronic infections. This phenotype is related to its ability to replicate and persist within non-phagocytic host epithelial cells as well as phagocytic dendritic cells and macrophages of the innate immune system. Infection with S. enterica manifests itself through a broad r...
متن کاملPneumocystis and interactions with host immune receptors
Introduction The majority of deaths from fungal infections occur in Africa. Pneumocystis is an unusual host-specific fungus that takes advantage of a weakened immune system and causes pneumonia in AIDS patients [1]. While Pneumocystis is thought to cause more than 200,000 AIDSrelated deaths annually, it also contributes to more than 50,000 non–AIDS-related deaths [2]. Recent epidemiological dat...
