Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of conventional serology and PCR methods for the routine diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
Soraia Reda Gilber,Silvana Maria Alban,Luiza Gobor,Jessica de Oliveira Bescrovaine,Marcia Iurico Myiazaki,Vanete Thomaz-Soccol +5 more
TL;DR: This work aimed to compare the current diagnostic methods for Chagas disease, including conventional serological and ELISA and molecular techniques (PCR), to introduce PCR as an auxiliary technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phage display and synthetic peptides as promising biotechnological tools for the serological diagnosis of leprosy.
Silvana Maria Alban,Juliana de Moura,Vanete Thomaz-Soccol,Samira Bührer Sékula,Larissa Magalhães Alvarenga,Marcelo Távora Mira,Carlos Delfin Chávez Olórtegui,João Carlos Minozzo +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is revealed in support of phage-displayed peptides as promising biotechnological tools for the design of leprosy diagnostic serological assays and their potentials as diagnostic reagents must be more extensively evaluated in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of mimotopes of Mycobacterium leprae as potential diagnostic reagents
Silvana Maria Alban,Juliana de Moura,João Carlos Minozzo,Marcelo Távora Mira,Vanete Thomaz Soccol +4 more
TL;DR: The preliminary data suggest that it may be possible to develop reagents with diagnostic potential based on peptide mimotopes selected by phage display using polyclonal human antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of antibodies against Neospora caninum in mares with reproductive problems and presence of seropositive dogs as a risk factor.
Renata Azevedo de Abreu,Romildo Romualdo Weiss,Vanete Thomaz-Soccol,Rosangela Locatelli-Dittrich,Luciane Maria Laskoski,Melina Andrea Formighieri Bertol,Marilia de Oliveira Koch,Silvana Maria Alban,K.T. Green +8 more
TL;DR: The presence of seropositive dogs as a risk factor for N. caninum in mares suggests the necessity for further investigation of the epidemiology of this parasite in horse-breeding farms with reproductive problems and the presence of cattle and dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Peptides as Potential Antigens for Cutaneous Leishmaniosis Diagnosis.
Juliana Seger Link,Silvana Maria Alban,Carlos Ricardo Soccol,Gilberto Vinícius de Melo Pereira,Vanete Thomaz Soccol +4 more
TL;DR: Results show a new route for discovering molecules for diagnosis or for immunoprotection against leishmaniosis, and the peptides' MIX showed the best performance, followed by the P1 (72% sensitivity), and the AS presented 91% sensitivity.
