Hydatidosis: Preparation and evaluation of radiolabeled antigens and antibodies.
Exp Parasitol
April 2018
Laboratoire de physiologie cellulaire et animale, Ecole Normale Supérieure, B.P., 92 Kouba, Algeria.
The present preliminary study intends to evaluate the in vitro use of hydatid antigen and their antibodies once labeled with iodine 125(I) and characterized from viewpoint of radiochemical purity and immunoreactivity. Radiolabelled molecules gave satisfactory purity of 94% and 96%-98%, for hydatid antigen and IgG respectively. As regards, the specific activity of these latter, varied between 4.

Background: Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are polypeptide hormones that play anabolic roles in cellular growth and metabolism. Their activity is regulated by binding proteins (IGFBPs) and degradation mechanisms. The liver is regarded as the main source of circulating forms and the levels change in various disease states.

Mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii manifest a rapid decline in serum thyroxine (T4) levels. To locate the locus of the hypothyroxinaemia, the integrity of the pituitary-thyroid axis of infected mice was assessed by a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) assay. A rise in serum T4 after inoculation of TRH implies the release of thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone) from a functionally intact pituitary.

A decline in serum thyroxine (T4) occurs in Nya: NYLAR female mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii. To ascertain whether the hypothyroxinaemia might be the result of primary thyroid dysfunction, 2 parameters of thyrofollicular cell function were monitored to determine (a) if the cell surface membrane receptors for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were operative, and (b) whether the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent cascade of intracellular events leading to the release of T4 was responsive to exogenous cAMP. Our results indicated that both parameters were intact and functional in the infected-mouse thyrocytes.

Parasite Immunol
November 1986
Several physicochemical characteristics of the repeated epitope of the major surface protein (P30) of Toxoplasma gondii were investigated with an anti-P30 mAb by two different methods: a one-site/inhibition assay that detects molecules containing single or multiple epitopes and a two-site/one antibody radiometric assay that is only effective with antigenic molecules containing two or more identical epitopes. Using both techniques, the repeated epitope within purified P30 was stable after 1 h at 63 degrees C, but labile at 100 degrees C. It was also resistant to successive freezing and thawing, and not affected after one year at -70 degrees C.
