Journal ArticleDOI

Aberrant protamine 1/protamine 2 ratios in sperm of infertile human males

Rod Balhorn, +2 more
- 15 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: The distribution of protamines in sperm obtained from a select group of infertile males producing an elevated level of large sperm heads, in contrast, was different from that of the fertile males.
Journal Article

Cell mediated immunity in American cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis.

Edgar M. Carvalho, +6 more
- 01 Dec 1985 - 
TL;DR: The studies have determined that the parameters of lymphocyte and macrophage functions evaluated in ML and CL patients are comparable, except for an enhanced lymphoproliferative response, with leishmania antigen in ML patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of resistance to complement-mediated killing of bacteria encoded by the Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid gene rck.

E J Heffernan, +5 more
- 01 Sep 1992 - 
TL;DR: It is found that pADEO16, a recombinant cosmid carrying the rck gene of the Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid, when cloned into either rough or smooth Escherichia coli andSalmonella strains, confers high level resistance to the bactericidal activity of pooled normal human serum.
Journal Article

Transforming growth factor-beta in human cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Aldina Barral, +9 more
- 01 Oct 1995 - 
TL;DR: Observations suggest an important role for TGF-beta in human leishmaniasis, with its production by infected macrophages being probably related to parasite establishment in the early stages of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a virulence factor of Entamoeba histolytica. Pathogenic strains possess a unique cysteine proteinase gene.

Stephanie Reed, +9 more
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence of the ACP1 proteinase gene reveals homology with cysteine proteinases released by activated macrophages and invasive cancer cells, suggesting an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of tissue invasion.
