Primer reporte de miasis nosocomial por Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) en Costa Rica
(2012)Introducción. Las miasis hospitalarias son entidades con una importancia manifiesta en salud pública. La documentación de este tipo de casos es escasa en la literatura biomédica regional y mundial. Objetivo. Informar un ... -
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 ... -
Production and partial characterization of monoclonal antibodies to Bothrops asper (terciopelo) myotoxin
(1988)Seven murine monoclonal antibodies against Bothrops aspen myotoxin were produced and partially characterized. They revealed the presence of at least four cross-reacting basic components in crude venom, with a common subunit ... -
Profiling the venom gland transcriptomes of Costa Rican snakes by 454 pyrosequencing
(BMC Genomics, 12:259, 2011, 2011)Background: A long term research goal of venomics, of applied importance for improving current antivenom therapy, but also for drug discovery, is to understand the pharmacological potential of venoms. Individually ... -
Programa de la evaluación externa de la calidad en coagulación sanguínea en Costa Rica utilizando plasma fresco congelado y de hematología básica con sangre estabilizada (PEEC- CIHATA-2020)
(2020-12-16)Informe sobre la evolución del Programa de Evaluación Externa del CIHATA. Repaso de conceptos y datos incluidos en el reporte. -
Promoting co-existence between humans and venomous snakes through increasing the herpetological knowledge base
(2021)Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved. However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been ... -
Pros and cons of different therapeutic antibody formats for recombinant antivenom development
(2018-05)Antibody technologies are being increasingly applied in the field of toxinology. Fuelled by the many advances in immunology, synthetic biology, and antibody research, different approaches and antibody formats are being ... -
Proteoform-resolved quantitative venomics: looking through a crystal ball
(2017-04)In this paper we discuss recent significant developments in the field of venom research, specifically the emergence of top-down proteomic applications that allow achieving compositional resolution at the level of the ... -
Proteogenomic analysis of the Clostridium difficile exoproteome reveals a correlation between phylogenetic distribution and virulence potential
(2020)C. difficile induces antibiotic-associated diarrhea due to the action of two secreted toxins, TcdA and TcdB. A considerable range of virulence among C. difficile strains has been widely reported. During a hospital outbreak, ... -
Proteomic analysis of Bothrops pirajai snake venom and characterization of BpirMP, a new P-I metalloproteinase
(2013-03-27)Bothrops pirajai snake venom was analyzed by a proteomic strategy. Proteins were separated by RP-HPLC, followed by SDS-PAGE, in-gel tryptic digestion, identification by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, and assignment to ... -
Proteomic analysis of the mandibular glands from the Chinese crocodile lizard, Shinisaurus crocodilurus – another venomous lizard?
(2023)Based on its phylogenetic relationship to monitor lizards (Varanidae), Gila monsters (Heloderma spp.), and the earless monitor Lanthanotus borneesis, the Chinese crocodile lizard, Shinisaurus crocodilurus, has been assigned ... -
Proteomic analysis of venom variability and ontogeny across the arboreal palm-pitvipers (genus Bothriechis)
(2017-01)Bothriechis is a genus of eleven currently recognized slender and arboreal venomous snakes, commonly called palm-pitvipers that range from southern Mexico to northern South America. Despite dietary studies suggesting that ... -
Proteomic and biological characterization of the venom of the redtail coral snake, Micrurus mipartitus (Elapidae), from Colombia and Costa Rica
(2011-12)Venoms of the redtail coral snake Micrurus mipartitus from Colombia and Costa Rica were analyzed by “venomics”, a proteomic strategy to determine their composition. Proteins were separated by RP-HPLC, followed by SDS-PAGE, ... -
