Galectin-8 Induces Apoptosis in the CD4highCD8high Thymocyte Subpopulation (2007)

Tribulatti, María Virginia, Mucci, Juan, Cattaneo, Valentina, Agüero, Fernán, Gilmartin, Tim, Head, Steven R., ...

In the present work, we followed a microarray approach to analyze the expression of glycosylation-related genes on different cell populations obtained from mouse thymus. Among other genes,...

Epitope Mapping of trans-Sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi Reveals the Presence of Several Cross-Reactive Determinants

Pitcovsky, Tamara A., Mucci, Juan, Alvarez, Paula, Leguizamón, M. Susana, Burrone, Oscar, Alzari, Pedro M., ...

Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, expresses trans-sialidase, a unique enzyme activity that enables the parasite to invade host cells by transferring sialyl residues from host...

Thymocyte depletion in Trypanosoma cruzi infection is mediated by trans-sialidase-induced apoptosis on nurse cells complex

Mucci, Juan, Hidalgo, Alejandra, Mocetti, Esteban, Argibay, Pablo F., Leguizamón, M. Susana, Campetella, Oscar

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease, induces transient thymic aplasia early after infection—a phenomenon that stills lacks a molecular explanation. The parasite sheds an...

The trans-Sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi Induces Thrombocytopenia during Acute Chagas' Disease by Reducing the Platelet Sialic Acid Contents

Tribulatti, María Virginia, Mucci, Juan, Van Rooijen, Nico, Leguizamón, María Susana, Campetella, Oscar

Strong thrombocytopenia is observed during acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasitic protozoan agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas' disease. The parasite sheds trans-sialidase, an...

A B lymphocyte mitogen is a Brucella abortus virulence factor required for persistent infection

Spera, Juan Manuel, Ugalde, Juan Esteban, Mucci, Juan, Comerci, Diego J., Ugalde, Rodolfo Augusto

Microbial pathogens with the ability to establish chronic infections have evolved strategies to actively modulate the host immune response. Brucellosis is a disease caused by a Gram-negative...
