Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)
The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ...
Comparison of the serum neutralization test and a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey and vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana
(AAVLD, 2002-05-01)
A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) for the detection of antibodies against
vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana (VSV-IN) was compared with

Brucella evades macrophage killing via VirB-dependent sustained interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2003-01-18)
The intracellular pathogen Brucella is the causative agent of brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis
that affects mammals, including humans. Essential to Brucella virulence is its ability to survive and
replicate inside host ...
Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide in murine peritoneal macrophages acts as a down-regulator of T cell activation
(The American Association of Immunologists, Inc., 2000)
Macrophages play a central role in host immune responses against pathogens by acting as both professional phagocytic cells and
as fully competent APCs. We report here that the LPS from the facultative intracellular ...
Neutralizing antibodies against vesicular stomatitis viruses (serotypes New Jersey and Indiana) in horses in Costa Rica
(AAVLD, 2002-09-01)
Serum samples were collected from domestic horses in 4 different regions of Costa Rica to detect
antibodies against vesicular stomatitis viruses, serotypes New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and Indiana (VSV-IN). A total
