Genetic variant in the AGT gene (rs699-GG) is associated with severe COVID-19 in Brazilian patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the largest pandemic of the past century, and various genetic factors have played a significant role in this context. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and association between specific SNPs rs3806268 (NLRP3), rs4925543 (NLRP3), rs12150220 (NLRP1), rs455060 (NLRC4), rs699 (AGT), rs1137101 (LEPR), and rs1801133 (MTHFR) and severe/critical outcomes in Brazilian patients with COVID-19. A total of 100 patients were included in the study, comprising 66 cases and 34 controls.

Data on antigen recognition hindrance by antibodies covalently immobilized to Protein G magnetic beads by dimethyl pimelimidate (DMP) cross-linking.

The data presented herein is related to the article entitled " immunoproteome: calpain-like CAP5.5 differentially detected throughout distinct stages of human Chagas disease cardiomyopathy" [1]. Electrophoretic analyses under denaturing and reducing conditions indicate that covalent immobilization of human IgG to Protein G magnetic beads by cross-linking with 50 mM dimethyl pimelimidate hinders the recognition of antigens in immunoprecipitation assays.

Trypanosoma cruzi immunoproteome: Calpain-like CAP5.5 differentially detected throughout distinct stages of human Chagas disease cardiomyopathy.

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of people worldwide, especially in Latin America. Approximately 30% of the cases evolve to the chronic symptomatic stage due to cardiac and/or digestive damage, generally accompanied by nervous system impairment. Given the higher frequency and severity of clinical manifestations related to cardiac tissue lesion, the goal of this study was the identification of proteins associated with the disease progression towards its cardiac form.
