Differential expression of sialylglycoconjugates and sialidase activity in distinct morphological stages of Fonsecaea pedrosoi
(Springer, 2004-04-01)The expression of sialoglycoconjugates in Fonsecaea pedrosoi conidia, mycelia, and sclerotic cells was analyzed using influenza A and C virus strains, sialidase treatment, and lectin binding. Conidium and mycelium whole ...

Identification of sialic acids on the cell surface of Candida albicans
(Elsevier B.V., 2000-04-06)The cell-surface expression of sialic acids in two isolates of Candida albicans was analyzed by thin-layer and gas chromatography, binding of lectins, colorimetry, sialidase treatment and flow cytofluorimetry with ...

The mucin-like glycoprotein super-family of Trypanosoma cruzi: structure and biological roles
(Elsevier B.V., 2001-05-01)Trypanosoma cruzi expresses at its surface large amounts of mucin-like glycoproteins. the T. cruzi mucins (TcMUC), a group of highly glycosylated GPI-anchored proteins rich in Thr, Ser, and Pro residues, are expressed in ...

Removal of sialic acid from mucin-like surface molecules of Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes enhances parasite-host cell interaction
(Elsevier B.V., 1997-01-01)The 35/50 kDa mucin-like surface glycoprotein (gp 35/50) of Trypanosoma cruzi metacycliic trypomastigotes has been in mammalian cell invasion. in this study we investigated whether the sialyl residues of gp35/50 are required ...

Sialic acids are absent from the dermatophytes Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum
(Blackwell Verlag Gmbh, 2003-06-01)Experiments were performed to determine whether sialic acids are expressed in two dermatophytes: Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, similarly to other fungal pathogens. Chemical extraction of mycelia and microconidia ...

A study of the influence of mouth-breathing in some parameters of unstimulated and stimulated whole saliva of adolescents
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-05-01)Objective: the aim of this study was to analyze some standard parameters of the unstimulated and stimulated whole saliva of mouth-breathers and a control, group to determine if these variables present any difference in ...

Two distinct groups of mucin-like genes are differentially expressed in the developmental stages of Trypanosoma cruzi
(Elsevier B.V., 1998-05-15)Sialic acid accepters of Trypanosoma cruzi are abundant mucin-like glycoproteins linked to the parasite membrane by a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI) anchor. They are heterogeneous and variable in different parasite ...
