Artesunate, a potential drug for treatment of Babesia infection
Goo, Youn-Kyoung; Terkawi, M. Alaa; Jia, Honglin; Aboge, G. Oluga; Ooka, Hideo; Nelson, Bryce; Kim, Suk; Sunaga, Fujiko; Namikawa, Kazuhiko; Igarashi, Ikuo; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Xuan, Xuenan (2010)The effects of artesunate, a water-soluble artemisinin derivative, against Babesia species, including Babesia bovis, Babesia gibsoni and Babesia microti were studied. Cultures of B. bovis and B. gibsoni were treated with ... -
Characterization of the Babesia gibsoni 12-kDa protein as a potential antigen for the serodiagnosis
Goo, Youn-Kyoung; Jia, Honglin; Aboge, G. Oluga; Terkawi, M. Alaa; Lee, Eung-goo; Yamagishi, Junya; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Jang, Hyung-Kwan; Sunaga, Fujiko; Namikawa, Kazuhiko; Fujisaki, Kozo; Xuan, Xuenan (2009)A novel gene, BgP12, encoding a 12-kDa protein was identified from Babesia gibsoni. The full-length cDNA of BgP12 contains an open reading frame of 378 bp, corresponding to 126 amino acid (aa) residues consisting of a ... -
Four promising antigens, BgP32, BgP45, BgP47, and BgP50, for serodiagnosis of Babesia gibsoni infection were classified as B. gibsoni merozoite surface protein family
Goo, Youn-Kyoung; Aboge, Gabriel Oluga; Terkawi, M. Alaa; Jia, Honglin; Yamagishi, Junya; Sunaga, Fujiko; Namikawa, Kazuhiko; Cha, Se-Yeoun; Jang, Hyung-Kwan; Kim, Suk; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Xuan, Xuenan (2012)We determined the molecular characteristics of four proteins, BgP32, BgP45, BgP47, and BgP50, of Babesia gibsoni. Localization by subcellular fractionations followed by Western blotting revealed that the corresponding ...
