Identification of linear B-cell epitopes on myotoxin-II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from Bothrops asper snake venom
(2012)
Knowledge on toxin immunogenicity at the molecular level can provide valuable information
for the improvement of antivenoms, as well as for understanding toxin structure–
function relationships. The aims of this study ...
Antibody neutralization of a myotoxin from the venom of Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1987)
Neutralization of biological activities of B. asper myotoxin by a monospecific anti-myotoxin rabbit serum and polyvalent antivenom was studied. Both antisera neutralized myotoxic, phospholipase A and lethal activities of ...
Snake Venomics of Central American Pitvipers: Clues for Rationalizing the Distinct Envenomation Profiles of Atropoides nummifer and Atropoides picadoi
(2008)
We report the proteomic characterization of the Central American pitvipers Atropoides nummifer and
Atropoides picadoi. The crude venoms were fractionated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC), ...
Effect of calcineurin inhibitors on myotoxic activity of crotoxin and Bothrops asper phospholipase A2 myotoxins in vivo and in vitro
(2006-07)
Previous studies have shown that calcineurin activity plays a critical role in the myotoxic activity induced by crotoxin (CTX), a group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with neurotoxic and myotoxic actions. In order to address ...
Elimination of fungicides in biopurification systems: Effect of fungal bioaugmentation on removal performance and microbial community structure
(2017-11)
Bioaugmentation with ligninolytic fungi represents a potential way to improve the performance of biomixtures used in biopurification systems for the treatment of pesticide-containing agricultural wastewater. The fungus ...
Escherichia Coli enterotoxigénica en niños hospitalziados en Costa Rica
(Revista Médica Hospital Nacional de Niños Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera 13(1):23-32, 1978)
Se estudió la prevalencia de Escherichia coli enterotoxigénica (ECET) productora de toxina labil y/ o estable en niños con y sin diarrea aguda, internados en el Hospital Nacional de Niños entre enero y diciembre de 1976. ...
Diversidad larval de mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) en contenedores artificiales procedentes de una comunidad urbana de San José, Costa Rica
Larval diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in artificial containers from an urban community of San José, Costa Rica
(2004)
Se realizó una encuesta larval por mosquitos urbanos en contenedores artificiales intra y peridomiciliares en la comunidad "La Carpio", San José, Costa Rica. "La Carpio" es una comunidad que sufrió un brote de dengue en ...
Las citokinas, elementos centrales para la comprensión y manipulación terapéutica del sistema inmune (Parte 1)
(1995)
Dentro del explosivo desarrollo en que se encuentra la inmunología básica, el campo de las citokinas y sus funciones dentro (y fuera) del sistema inmune, es uno de los que crece más vertiginosamente. En la primera parte ...
Crystallization of the Lys49 PLA2 homologue, myotoxin II from the venom of Atropoides nummifer
(2004-12)
Myotoxin II, a Lys49 catalytically inactive phospholipase A2 homologue from Atropoides nummifer venom, was purified, characterized
and crystallized. The crystals belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P43212, with ...
Comparative study of the venoms of three subspecies of Lachesis muta (bushmaster) from Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica
(1998-12)
A comparative study was performed on the pharmacology and biochemistry of venoms from three subspecies of Lachesis muta (L. m. stenophrys, L. m. muta and L. m. rhombeata) from Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica. All venoms ...
