Identification and characterization of two subpopulations of Encephalitozoon intestinalis.
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular protozoa that have been shown to be pathogenic to most living creatures. The development of in vitro cell culture propagation methods has provided researchers with large numbers of spores and facilitated the study of these organisms. Here, we describe heterogeneity within cell culture-propagated Encephalitozoon intestinalis suspensions. Flow cytometer hi...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against Brucella abortus S (99) Surface Antigens
By immunizing mice with killed whole bacterial cells of Brucella abortus S (99), a panel of six hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the surface antigens of this bacterium were produced. ELISA was used to screen the hybridoma supernatants. Immunoblots of the cell extract indicated that three mAb were specific for S-LPS (Ba-1, Ba-2, Ba-3) and three others were reactive w...
متن کاملProduction and Partial Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Leishmania
Background: Monoclonal antibody technology allows identification of amastigote-specific antigen in human tissue biopsies and search for a suitable vaccine candidate, which may induce a long lasting immunity. Objectives: Production and partial characterization of seven monoclonal antibodies against Leishmania tropica promstigotes. Methods: Seven murine monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype we...
متن کاملChlorine inactivation of spores of Encephalitozoon spp.
This report is an extension of a preliminary investigation on the use of chlorine to inactivate spores of Encephalitozoon intestinalis and to investigate the effect of chlorine on two other species, E cuniculi and E. hellem, associated with human infection. The 50% tissue culture infective doses of these three species were also determined. On the basis of the results obtained, it appears that c...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies for specific detection of Encephalitozoon cuniculi.
Seven species-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced against Encephalitozoon cuniculi and characterized. The MAbs were immunoglobulin G, and when used for indirect microimmunofluorescence microscopy and Western immunoblot assays, they detected E. cuniculi originating from clinical samples. They did not cross-react with other Encephalitozoon species (E. intestinalis and E. hellem) o...
