Molecular characterization and diagnostic value of Taenia solium low-molecular-weight antigen genes.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) caused by infection with the larvae of Taenia solium is an important cause of neurological disease worldwide. In order to establish an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for this infection using recombinant proteins, we carried out molecular cloning and identified four candidates as diagnostic antigens (designated Ag1, Ag1V1, Ag2, and Ag2V1). Except for Ag2V1, th...
متن کاملSequence Analysis and Molecular Characterization of Wnt4 Gene in Metacestodes of Taenia solium
Wnt proteins are a family of secreted glycoproteins that are evolutionarily conserved and considered to be involved in extensive developmental processes in metazoan organisms. The characterization of wnt genes may improve understanding the parasite's development. In the present study, a wnt4 gene encoding 491amino acids was amplified from cDNA of metacestodes of Taenia solium using reverse tran...
متن کاملSome recent advances in the molecular characterization of Echinococcus and Taenia solium.
Some recently obtained data from our laboratory on the molecular characterization of Echinococcus and Taenia solium are described and are complimented by relevant new information obtained by other groups. Progress made in the development of satisfactory immunodiagnostic assays and in the production of recombinant molecules, suitable for application in serology of hydatid disease and cysticercos...
متن کاملCharacterization of Low-Molecular-Weight Protein
Cereal Chem. 63(5):414-419 A low-molecular-weight protein (S protein) fraction with a high affinity and SDS-PAGE patterns were similar for both varieties, but RP-HPLC for flour polar lipid was isolated from flours of one hard and one soft wheat patterns were quite different. Defatting the flour did not affect the yield of S variety. The fraction was characterized by lipid content and compositio...
متن کاملControl of Taenia solium.
Control or eradication of Taenia solium cysticercosis has been achieved to date only in Europe and North America. Significant improvements in sanitary conditions and developing functional slaughterhouse control systems were primarily responsible for control in these regions. Conversely, in endemic areas of developing countries control is limited by economic and sanitary conditions: the life cyc...
