Analysis of TcdB Proteins within the Hypervirulent Clade 2 Reveals an Impact of RhoA Glucosylation on Clostridium difficile Proinflammatory Activities
(2016-03)
Clostridium difficile strains within the hypervirulent clade 2 are responsible for nosocomial outbreaks worldwide. The increased
pathogenic potential of these strains has been attributed to several factors but is still ...
Neutralization of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper by monoclonal antibodies
(1992)
The neutralization of two myotoxic phospholipases A2 from the venom of Bothrops asper, myotoxins I and II, by two murine monoclonal antibodies is reported. The monoclonal antibodies, MAb-3 and Mab-4, recognize different ...
Molecular detection of Clostridium difficile on inert surfaces from a Costa Rican hospital during and after an outbreak
(2016-12-01)
Background: Hospital transmission of Clostridium difficile is fostered by contamination of surfaces and
medical equipment with spores highly resistant to disinfectants and regular cleaning procedures. Despite
the outbreaks ...
Immunohistochemical demonstration of the binding of bothrops asper myotoxin to skeletal muscle sarcolemma
(1987)
The binding of Bothrops asper myotoxin to mouse skeletal muscle was studied at both the light and electron microscope levels using the peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique. The toxin binds to muscle cell sarcolemma, and ...
Experimental pathology of local tissue damage induced by Bothrops asper snake venom
(2009-12-01)
Envenomations by Bothrops asper are often associated with complex and severe local pathological manifestations, including edema, blistering, dermonecrosis, myonecrosis and hemorrhage. The pathogenesis of these alterations ...

Niveles de inmunoglobulinas séricas (IgG, IgA e IgM) en adultos jóvenes sanos, por el método de inmunodifusión radial
(1985)
Se determinó la concentración de IgG, IgA, e IgM en el suero de 49 estudiantes universitarios normales, de 18 a 25 años. Para esto se empleó el método de inmunodifusión radial, en placas comerciales. Los resultados fueron ...
Producción de placas de inmunodifusión radial para la cuantificación de IgG humana
(1985)
Se describe un método para la preparación de placas de inmunodifusión radial para la cuantificación de la lgG humana. El método se basó en las siguientes etapas: (1) aislamiento de lgG de suero normal
mediante cromatografía ...
