C. elegans Dynamin mediates the signaling of phagocytic receptor CED-1 for the engulfment and degradation of apoptotic cells
(C. elegans Dynamin mediates the signaling of phagocytic receptor CED-1 for the engulfment and degradation of apoptotic cellsCollege of Health Sciences, 2006)Dynamins are large GTPases that act in multiple vesicular trafficking events. We identified 14 loss-of-function alleles of the C. elegans dynamin gene, dyn-1, that are defective in the removal of apoptotic cells. dyn-1 ... -
C3 contributes to the cross-protective immunity induced by Babesia gibsoni phosphoribo protein P0 against a lethal B. rodhaini infection
(Department of Public Health Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2008)We have studied the impact of complement component 3 (C3) deficiency on the progression of lethal Babesia rodhaini infection in immune mice. A B. gibsoni ribosomal phosphoriboprote in P0 (BgP0) previously reported to be ... -
