In Silico Analysis of the Fucosylation-Associated Genome of the Human Blood Fluke Schistosoma mansoni: Cloning and Characterization of the Fucosyltransferase Multigene Family
Fucosylated glycans of the parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni play key roles in its development and immunobiology. In the present study we used a genome-wide homology-based bioinformatics approach to search for genes that contribute to fucosylated glycan expression in S. mansoni, specifically the α2-, α3-, and α6-fucosyltransferases (FucTs), which transfer L-fucose from a GDP-L-fucose donor...
متن کاملAntioxidant effects of gold nanoparticles on Schistosoma mansoni induced granuloma, in vitro
Objective(s): Schistosomiasis and hepatitis C virus [HCV] co-infection is common among the Egyptian population. Co-infected patients have higher rate of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of gold nanoparticles on granuloma in vitro. Materials and Methods: In the current study, granulocytes were isolated f...
متن کاملIdentification of new Schistosoma mansoni genes by the EST strategy using a directional cDNA library.
A directional size-selected cDNA library constructed from Schistosoma mansoni (Sm) adult worm RNA was used for the generation of expressed sequence tags (EST). From one or both ends of 429 distinct cDNA clones 607 EST were obtained. Of these, only 16% were previously known Sm genes. More than 22% of the clones had matches with entries for other organisms in the databases. These new Sm genes con...
متن کاملCharacterization, cloning and immunogenicity of antigens released by lung-stage larvae of Schistosoma mansoni.
Lung-stage schistosomula are the target of protective immunity in mice vaccinated with attenuated cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni. Therefore, proteins present at this developmental stage, and in particular those which are secreted, are a potential source of novel vaccine candidates. However, little information is available about such molecules. Here we describe the cDNA clones identified by sc...
متن کاملMast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice
Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
