1. Is serum PSA a predictor of male hypogonadism? Testing the hypothesis
ABSTRACT Objective: Male hypogonadism (MH) is common among infertile men. Besides testosterone, limited MH biomarkers are available, while researchers have suggested the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to help diagnose MH. Hence, we sought to evaluate the potential use of PSA to predict MH among relatively young men with infertility in Nigeria. Mate

2. Hereditary angioedema: a disease seldom diagnosed by pediatricians
Abstract Objectives: To describe the hereditary angioedema to improve awareness of this condition and reduce diagnostic delay. Data sources: Relevant articles in the MEDLINE database through PubMed. Data synthesis: Hereditary angioedema is rare and has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Its onset occurs mainly in childhood, but there is an impo

6. Development and standardization of a western blotting test for detection of antibodies against B. abortus
RESUMO A brucelose é uma doença infectocontagiosa, causada por bactérias do gênero Brucella spp., com diagnóstico baseado no emprego de técnicas sorológicas. Objetivou-se neste estudo desenvolver e padronizar um teste Western blotting (WB) para detecção de anticorpos contra B. abortus. Foram analisados dois grupos de amostras bovinas: grupo I, com 6

7. Evaluation of dot-blot test for serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis
Abstract The objective of this study was to standardize and validate the dot-blot test for the serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis, compare the results with those found in the 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) and complement fixation test (CF), and estimate the relative sensitivity and specificity of the dot-blot compared to these tests. Fifty bovine blood se

8. Quality of horse F(ab′)2 antitoxins and antirabies immunoglobulins: protein content and anticomplementary activity
Abstract Background Among other applications, immunotherapy is used for the post-exposure treatment and/or prophylaxis of important infectious diseases, such as botulism, diphtheria, tetanus and rabies. The effectiveness of serum therapy is widely proven, but improvements on the immunoglobulin purification process and on the quality control are necessary to

9. Complement system contributes to modulate the infectivity of susceptible TcI strains of Trypanosoma cruzi
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite and an etiological agent of Chagas disease. There is a wide variability in the clinical outcome of its infection, ranging from asymptomatic individuals to those with chronic fatal mega syndromes. Both parasite and host factors, as well as their interplay, are thought to be involved in the process. OBJECT

11. Bothrops snake venoms and their isolated toxins, an L-amino acid oxidase and a serine protease, modulate human complement system pathways
Background Activation of the complement system plays an important role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory reactions, and contributes to inflammatory responses triggered by envenomation provoked byBothrops snakes. The present study aimed to assess whether Bothrops jararacussuand Bothrops pirajai crude venoms and their isolated toxins, namely serine

12. Biological characterization of compounds from Rhinella schneideri poison that act on the complement system
Background The skin secretions of toads of the family Bufonidae contain biogenic amines, alkaloids, steroids (bufotoxins), bufodienolides (bufogenin), peptides and proteins. The poison of Rhinella schneideri, formerly classified as Bufo paracnemis, presents components that act on different biological systems, including the complement system. The aim of this
