Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important zoonotic parasite diseases in
human, livestock, and wildlife worldwide. Development of effective vaccines against CE …

The explosive growth in biotechnology combined with major advances in information
technology has the potential to radically transform immunology in the postgenomics era. Not …

As an approach to investigate the molecular mechanism of in vivo protein folding and the
role of translation kinetics on specific folding pathways, we made codon substitutions in the …

We describe the 1.6 Å crystal structure of the fatty-acid-binding protein EgFABP1 from the
parasitic platyhelminth Echinococcus granulosus. E. granulosus causes hydatid disease …

EgFABP1 is a developmentally regulated intracellular fatty acid binding protein
characterized in the larval stage of parasitic platyhelminth Echinococcus granulosus. It is …

This work describes a new gene coding for a fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in the parasite
Echinococcus granulosus, named EgFABP2. The complete gene structure, including the …

Successful establishment of a parasite infection depends partially on the host intrinsic
susceptibility to the pathogen. In cystic echinococcosis (CE), a zoonotic disease caused by …

The secretory immune response in humans infected with Giardia lamblia was studied by
using saliva samples and an 8-kDa antigen capable of binding fatty acids. This antigen was …

Two fatty acid binding proteins, EgFABP1 and EgFABP2, were isolated from the parasitic
platyhelminth Echinococcus granulosus. These proteins bind fatty acids and have particular …

Cyclophilins (CyPs) are enzymes involved in protein folding, catalyzing the isomerisation of
peptidyl prolyl bonds in proteins and peptides between the cis-and trans-conformations …
