Trichinella spiralis: nurse cell formation with emphasis on analogy to muscle cell repair (2008)

Wu, Zhiliang, Sofronic-Milosavljevic, Lj, Nagano, Isao, Takahashi, Yuzo

Abstract Trichinella infection results in formation of a capsule in infected muscles. The capsule is a residence of the parasite which is composed of the nurse cell and fibrous wall. The process of...

MOLECULAR COMPARATIVE STUDIES AMONG BLASTOCYSTIS ISOLATES OBTAINED FROM HUMANS AND ANIMALS (2003)

Hisao Yoshikawa, Zhiliang Wu, Isao Nagano, Yuzo Takahashi

This study compared specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers and phylogenetic tree analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism using the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene in various...

MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SERINE PROTEINASE GENE OF TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS (2003)

Isao Nagano, Zhiliang Wu, Takumi Nakada, Thidarut Boonmars, Yuzo Takahashi

A serine proteinase gene was isolated from a cDNA library of Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae at 30 days postinfection (PI). The library was immunoscreened with T. spiralis–infected sera. A...

Effect of Additional Crosslinking on Continuous Chemical Stress Relaxation of Cis-Polybutadiene. (1998)

Tobolsky,Arthur V., Takahashi,Yuzo, Naganuma,Shunji

Continuous and intermittent stress relaxation experiments were carried out on dicumyl peroxide cured cis-polybutadiene in vacuum at several temperatures. An extension of the two-network theory is...

Chemorheological Study on Natural Rubber Vulcanizates. (1998)

Takahashi,Yuzo, Tobolsky,Arthur V.

Chemical stress relaxation studies were carried out in air and in vacuum (0.001 mm Hg) on two natural rubber vulcanizates, one curved by dicumyl peroxide and one by tetramethyl thiuram disulfide....

Electron microscopic observations of the stichosome during the normal development of Trichinella spiralis from muscle larvae to adult worms in BALB/c mice (1997)

Xu, Dong, Nagano, Isao, Takahashi, Yuzo

The exocrine granules of the stichosome of Trichinella spiralis contain excretory and secretory (ES) products that may alter host cell physiology in such a way that T.spiralis can establish...

Electron microscopic observations on the normal development of Trichinella spiralis from muscle larvae to adult worms in BALB/c mice with emphasis on the body wall, genital organs and gastrointestinal organs (1997)

Xu, Dong, Nagano, Isao, Takahashi, Yuzo

Ultrastructural changes during the development of Trichinella spiralis from muscle larvae to adult worms are described with emphasis on the body wall, genital organs and gastrointestinal organs. The...

Distribution of Filipin-Sterol Complexes in the Bloodstream Form of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (1992)

Yoshikawa, Hisao, Furuki, Junko, Takahashi, Yuzo, Morioka, Hiroyuki, Yoshida, Yukio

The polyene antibiotic, filipin, was used as a probe for demonstrating sterols in the plasma membrane of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Three different regions of the continuous plasma membrane, over...

An Immunocytochemical Analysis of a Class-specific Antibody Response against Trichinella spiralis in Humans (1991)

Takahashi, Yuzo, Uno, Takako, Mizuno, Naoto, Tokuda, Chiyokiti, Shimazu, Kimitaka, Araki, Tsuneji

The response of different classes of antibodies against antigens of the muscle larvae of Trichinella spiralis was tested using an immunocytochemical approach. Ultrathin sections of resin-embedded...

The Intestinal Gland of Trichinella spiralis with Emphasis on Morphology and Antigenicity (1990)

Takahashi, Yuzo, Uno, Takako, Mizuno, Naoto, Aisaka, Akiyoshi, Yagi, Jun, Araki, Tsuneji

The intestinal gland of muscle larvae and adult worms of Trichinella spiralis was investigated with emphasis on its morphology and antigenicity. The gland is situated at the junction between the...

Immunocytochemical Evaluation of Trichinella spiralis Larval Antigen (1990)

Takahashi, Yuzo, Uno, Takako, Mizuno, Naoto, Suzuki, Hidekazu, Wada, Teruo, Araki, Tsuneji

The antigenicity of Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae was studied for the purpose of developing an immunodiagnostic test for trichinosis. Ultrathin sections of fixed larvae were treated with sera...

Genomic Analysis of Blastocystis hominis Strains Isolated from Two Long-Term Health Care Facilities

Yoshikawa, Hisao, Abe, Niichiro, Iwasawa, Mizue, Kitano, Syoko, Nagano, Isao, Wu, Zhiliang, ...

The genotype Blastocystis hominis is highly polymorphic. Therefore, a genetic marker would be a powerful tool for the identification or classification of B. hominis subtypes and could be used as a...

Intraspecies Polymorphism of Cryptosporidium parvum Revealed by PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and RFLP-Single-Strand Conformational Polymorphism Analyses

Wu, Zhiliang, Nagano, Isao, Boonmars, Thidarut, Nakada, Takumi, Takahashi, Yuzo

A glycoprotein (Cpgp40/15)-encoding gene of Cryptosporidium parvum was analyzed to reveal intraspecies polymorphism within C. parvum isolates. Forty-one isolates were collected from different...

Molecular Expression of a Cysteine Proteinase of Clonorchis sinensis and Its Application to an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Immunodiagnosis of Clonorchiasis

Nagano, Isao, Pei, Fuquan, Wu, Zhiliang, Wu, Jun, Cui, Huier, Boonmars, Thidarut, ...

We produced a recombinant cysteine proteinase of Clonorchis sinensis and tested its value as an antigen for serologic diagnosis of C. sinensis infections. The predicted amino acid sequence of the...
