  • 4 July 2010
Cyclosporine A (CsA) is an immunosuppressive cyclic peptide that binds with a high affinity to 18 kDa human cyclophilin-A (hCyPA). CsA and its several natural derivatives have some pharmacological… Expand

Trypanosoma cruzi: specific detection of parasites by PCR in infected humans and vectors using a set of primers (BP1/BP2) targeted to a nuclear DNA sequence.
In the present work we evaluate Trypanosoma cruzi DNA detection by PCR using the nuclear oligonucleotides BP1/BP2 as primers. These primers are targeted to the 5' and 3' ends of the coding region for… Expand

How to Improve the Early Diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection: Relationship between Validated Conventional Diagnosis and Quantitative DNA Amplification in Congenitally Infected Children
Background According to the Chagas congenital transmission guides, the diagnosis of infants, born to Trypanosoma cruzi infected mothers, relies on the detection of parasites by INP micromethod,… Expand

Vertical transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi infection: quantification of parasite burden in mothers and their children by parasite DNA amplification.
The relationship between parasite burden and vertical transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied in pairs of chronically infected women and their children in a non-endemic area. Parasitemia was… Expand

Biological markers for evaluating therapeutic efficacy in Chagas disease, a systematic review
The most neglected aspects of Chagas disease (CD) have been patient care and treatment. Despite recent progress in the development of potentially improved drugs, there is no consensus among different… Expand

Microarray profiling of gene expression during trypomastigote to amastigote transition in Trypanosoma cruzi.
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, remains a significant public health concern throughout South and Central America. Although much is known about immune control of T. cruzi and… Expand

In vitro anti-parasitic activity of Cyclosporin A analogs on Trypanosoma cruzi.
Cyclosporin A (CsA) nonimmunosuppressive analogs were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi and on TcCyP19, a cyclophilin of 19 kDa. Two out of eight CsA analogs, H-7-94 and F-7-62 showed the best… Expand

Isolation and characterization of a gene from Trypanosoma cruzi encoding a 46-kilodalton protein with homology to human and rat tyrosine aminotransferase.
The complete sequence of a gene encoding a 46-kDa protein of Trypanosoma cruzi is presented. The first ATG complies with the consensus sequence for initiation of translation. A single band of 2 kb… Expand

Trypanosoma cruzi: biological characterization of a isolate from an endemic area and its susceptibility to conventional drugs.
We describe some biological and molecular characteristics of a Trypanosoma cruzi isolate derived from a Triatomine captured in Nicaragua. PCR based typification showed that this isolate, named… Expand

Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi effects of cyclosporin A derivatives: possible role of a P-glycoprotein and parasite cyclophilins.
Cyclophilins are target molecules for cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressive antimicrobial drug. We have previously reported the in vitro anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of H-7-94 and F-7-62… Expand
