Variant surface glycoproteins from Venezuelan trypanosome isolates are recognized by sera from animals infected with either Trypanosoma evansi or Trypanosoma vivax
Salivarian trypanosomes sequentially express only one variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) on their cell surface from a large repertoire of VSG genes. Seven cryopreserved animal trypanosome isolates known as TeAp-ElFrio01, TEVA1 (or TeAp-N/D1), TeGu-N/D1, TeAp-Mantecal01, TeGu-TerecayTrino, TeGu-Terecay03 and TeGu-Terecay323, which had been isolated from different hosts identified in several geog...
متن کاملCell-surface antigens of melanoma recognized by human monoclonal antibodies.
Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were derived from lymph node lymphocytes and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from patients with melanoma. Four methods for generating human mAbs were compared: fusion with human [LICR-LON-HMy-2 (LICR-2)] or mouse (NS-1) cells; transformation by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV); and EBV transformation followed by NS-1 fusion. NS-1 fusion with lymph node lymphocytes ...
متن کاملChaperone Requirements for Biosynthesis of the Trypanosome Variant Surface Glycoprotein
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma brucei does not respond transcriptionally to several endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions, including tunicamycin or dithiothreitol, indicating the absence of a conventional unfolded protein response. This suggests divergent mechanisms for quality control (QC) of ER protein folding and export may be present in trypanosomes. As the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG)...
متن کاملCharacterization of porcine platelet glycoproteins recognized by human natural "anti-gal" antibodies.
Human natural "anti-Gal" antibodies are specifically directed to Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc residues expressed on non-primate mammal and new world monkey cells. We investigated the relative involvement of purified IgG and IgM anti-Gal as xenoreactive natural antibodies (XNA). IgG and IgM were isolated from human plasma, and anti-Gal antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography on a ...
متن کاملTumour Antigens Recognized by Antibodies
Considerable progress has been made in the last few decades in the identification of defined tumour-associated antigens recognized by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The generation of mAbs against tumour antigens has principally been through standard hybridoma techniques following immunization of mice, while in the last decade recombinant phage display technology has also been employed. Much of t...
