The inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase by triangular gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to synthesize triangular gold nanoparticles, and then to evaluate their capability for inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase 2(Sap2).Materials and Methods: To synthesize the nanoparticles, hydrogen tetrachloroaurate and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were incubated in presence of Sn(IV) meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine t...
متن کاملIn Silico Prediction of B-Cell and T-Cell Epitopes of Protective Antigen of Bacillus anthracis in Development of Vaccines Against Anthrax
Protective antigen (PA), a subunit of anthrax toxin from Bacillus anthracis, is known as a dominant component in subunit vaccines in protection against anthrax. In order to avoid the side effects of live attenuated and killed organisms, the use of linear neutralizing epitopes of PA is recommended in order to design recombinant vaccines. The present study is aimed at determining the dominant epi...
متن کاملDifferential expression of secretory aspartyl proteinase genes (SAP1-10) in oral Candida albicans isolates with distinct karyotypes.
Two karyotypes of oral Candida albicans isolates, named b and c, constituted >80% of a collection from healthy carriers (22 b and 16 c isolates) and oral candidiasis patients who were either infected (31 b and 16 c isolates) or uninfected (13 b and 38 c isolates) with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The prevalence of the b and c karyotypes within HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients, resp...
متن کاملInhibition of growth and secreted aspartyl proteinase production in Candida albicans by lysozyme.
Lysozyme (muramidase) is a non-specific, antimicrobial protein ubiquitous in human mucosal secretions such as saliva. Although its antibacterial and antifungal activities are well recognised, there are no data on the specific concentrations necessary to affect the growth of Candida albicans or about the effect of lysozyme on the production of secreted aspartyl proteinase (Sap), a putative virul...
