Journal ArticleDOI
AFM₁ in Milk: Physical, Biological, and Prophylactic Methods to Mitigate Contamination.
Laura Giovati,Walter Magliani,Tecla Ciociola,Claudia Santinoli,Stefania Conti,Luciano Polonelli +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of AFM1 in milk and dairy products represents a worldwide concern since even small amounts of this metabolite may be of importance as long-term exposure is concerned and no single strategy offers a complete solution to the issue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and synthetic peptides with antifungal activity
Tecla Ciociola,Laura Giovati,Stefania Conti,Walter Magliani,Claudia Santinoli,Luciano Polonelli +5 more
TL;DR: This review presents a brief overview on antifungal natural peptides of different sources, peptide fragments derived by proteolytic cleavage of precursor physiological proteins (cryptides), synthetic unnatural peptides and peptide derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peptides of the Constant Region of Antibodies Display Fungicidal Activity
Luciano Polonelli,Tecla Ciociola,Walter Magliani,Pier Paolo Zanello,Tiziana D'Adda,Serena Galati,Flavia De Bernardis,Silvia Arancia,Elena Gabrielli,Eva Pericolini,Anna Vecchiarelli,Denise C. Arruda,Marcia R. Pinto,Luiz R. Travassos,Thelma A. Pertinhez,Alberto Spisni,Stefania Conti +16 more
TL;DR: It is intriguing to hypothesize that some Fc-peptides may influence the antifungal immune response and constitute the basis for devising new antIFungal agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody complementarity-determining regions (CDRs): a bridge between adaptive and innate immunity.
Elena Gabrielli,Eva Pericolini,Elio Cenci,Federica Ortelli,Walter Magliani,Tecla Ciociola,Francesco Bistoni,Stefania Conti,Anna Vecchiarelli,Luciano Polonelli +9 more
TL;DR: These results open a new scenario about the possibility that, beyond the half life of immunoglobulins, Ab fragments may effectively influence the antiinfective cellular immune response in a way reminiscent of regulatory peptides of innate immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Pichia anomala killer toxin through killer antibodies to killer peptides for a comprehensive anti-infective strategy.
TL;DR: PaKT’s biotechnological derivatives may represent the prototypes of novel antifungal vaccines and anti-infective drugs characterized by different mechanisms of action.
