Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering Bacillus thuringiensis Cyt1Aa toxin specificity from dipteran to lepidopteran toxicity.
Mary Carmen Torres-Quintero,Isabel Gómez,Sabino Pacheco,Jorge Sánchez,Humberto Flores,Joel Osuna,Gretel Mendoza,Mario Soberón,Alejandra Bravo +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that insect specificity of Cyt1Aa toxin can be modified by introduction of loop regions from another non-related toxin with different insect specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate breast cancer diagnosis through real-time PCR her-2 gene quantification using immunohistochemically-identified biopsies.
TL;DR: Standardized qPCR analysis using previously identified IHC samples is obtained, obtaining very significant and clinically useful results.
Book ChapterDOI

Alejandra Bravo,Diana L. Martínez de Castro,Jorge Sánchez,Pablo Emiliano Cantón,Gretel Mendoza,Isabel Gómez,Sabino Pacheco,Blanca I. García-Gómez,Janette Onofre,Josue Ocelotl,Mario Soberón +10 more
TL;DR: The great diversity of BT toxins represents a broad opportunity to control the most important insect pests that affect different crops, as well as vectors of human diseases such as malaria and dengue, and to design strategies to manage the development of insect resistance to Bt toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
New combinations of cry genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from northwestern Mexico.
TL;DR: Twenty eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from the Tijuana-Ensenada region of northwestern Mexico were analyzed to determine the distribution of cry and cyt genes and the hemolytic activity of the Cyt toxin was assessed in human erythrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptible and mCry3A resistant corn rootworm larvae killed by a non-hemolytic Bacillus thuringiensis Cyt1Aa mutant.

TL;DR: It is shown here for the first time that Cyt1Aa from Bt exhibits toxicity against WCR besides to the dipteran Aedes aegypti larvae, indicating that this toxin could be a useful resistance management option in the control of WCR.
