Item An 8-hydroxyquinoline-containing polymeric micelle system is effective for the treatment of murine tegumentary leishmaniasis.(2016) Lage, Letícia Martins dos Reis; Barichello, José Mario; Lage, Daniela Pagliara; Mendonça, Débora Vasconcelos Costa; Carvalho, Ana Maria Ravena Severino; Rodrigues, Marcella Rezende; Souza, Daniel Menezes; Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Alves, Ricardo José; Tavares, Carlos Alberto Pereira; Coelho, Eduardo Antônio Ferraz; Duarte, Mariana CostaItem Immunodiagnosis of human and canine visceral leishmaniasis using recombinant Leishmania infantum Prohibitin protein and a synthetic peptide containing its conformational B-cell epitope.(2019) Rodrigues, Marcella Rezende; Santos, Lucas Magno Oliveira; Miyazaki, Carolina Kei; Martins, Vivian Tamietti; Ribeiro, Fernanda Ludolf; Kursancew, Amanda Christine da Silva; Ramos, Fernanda Fonseca; Dias, Daniel Silva; Oliveira, Jamil Silvano de; Vieira, Paula Melo de Abreu; Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Ávila, Ricardo Andrez Machado de; Gonçalves, Denise Utsch; Souza, Daniel Menezes; Coelho, Eduardo Antônio Ferraz; Duarte, Mariana CostaIn the present study, Leishmania infantum's Prohibitin was cloned and, alongside a synthetic peptide, evaluated for the serodiagnosis of visceral and tegumentary leishmaniasis (CVL and TL, respectively) in dogs and humans. For TL diagnosis, this study analyzed serum samples from cutaneous (n=20) or mucosal (n=39) leishmaniasis patients, and from Chagas disease (CD) patients (n=8) and non-infected patients (n=45). For CVL diagnosis, serum samples from asymptomatic (n=14), symptomatic (n=71), non-infected (n=116), and Leish-Tec®- vaccinated (n=79) dogs were examined, as well as T. cruzi (n=11) and Ehrlichia canis (n=10) infected animals. An indirect ELISA method using rProhibitin showed diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values of 91.76% and 89.91%, respectively. L. infantum SLA showed 86.11% and 48.24% of specificity and sensitivity, respectively, for CVL serodiagnosis, and 98.31% and 84.91% sensitivity and specificity, respectively for TL diagnosis. L. braziliensis SLA showed 75.47% and 83.05% of specificity and sensitivity, respectively, for TL diagnosis. The synthetic peptide showed a better result in TL than in CVL diagnosis. In conclusion, preliminar results suggest that the detection of antibodies against the rProhibitin protein and the synthetic peptide improves the serodiagnosis of TL and CVL.
