The western blot analysis for identification of immunogenic proteins in whole cell lysate (WCL) antigens (Ags) prepared from the Trypanosoma evansi of buffalo, horse and cattle origins using hyperimmune sera (HIS) showed 11 immunogenic proteins and naturally T. evansi infected immune sera (IS) of horse detected 19 immunogenic proteins. HIS and IS of horse recognized five common immunogenic proteins of relative molecular weight (M(r)) ranges 61-64, 44-47, 33-34, 25-26 and 14-16 kilo Dalton (kDa). HIS rose against WCL Ags of T. evansi of buffalo origin and immune sera of horse cross reacted with WCL Ags of T. evansi of different host origin. It can be concluded that in comparison to HIS, IS of horse could able to detect more numbers of immunogenic proteins and five common immunogenic proteins in WCL Ages of T. evansi of different hosts origin. The evidence of higher reactivity of IS in comparison to HIS against T. evansi is being reported for the first time.

American Trypanosomiasis01:22

American Trypanosomiasis

Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a vector-borne parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan (kinetoplastid) of the family Trypanosomatidae. The disease is endemic in Latin America, although cases are increasingly reported worldwide due to human migration. Transmission most commonly occurs when feces of infected triatomine bugs contaminate bite wounds or mucosal surfaces; additional routes include congenital, transfusional, transplant-related, and oral...
Development of Immunocompetence01:22

Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
Immunoprecipitation01:20

Immunoprecipitation

Immunoprecipitation, or IP, is a widely used technique that employs protein-antibody interactions to isolate proteins or protein complexes in their native state for studying protein-protein interactions, quaternary structures, or supramolecular complexes. Various modifications of the technique, including chromatin IP, cross-linking IP, and fluorescence IP, are commonly used.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation
Chromatin immunoprecipitation, also known as ChIP, is used to study protein-DNA or...
