Lifelong exposure to low dose xeno-hormones in rats : multi-generational effects of xeno-hormone mixtures on taste preferences, maternal behavior, an…
2012
During the last decade, the issue of health-related endocrine disruptors (ED) has been extended to the toxicity of mixtures. The objective of this study was to define the effects of lifelong exposure to ED mixtures, at low doses defined as "non-harmful" by the authorities. In this aim, the effects of mixtures combining genistein, vinclozolin and bisphenol A, have been investigated in the rat by using an integrative and multi-generational experimental approach which takes into account maternal behavior, feeding behavior and development. Our results show that these mixtures could: a) reduce maternal behavior, b) change taste preferences (sweet, salty), c) affect the development from the in ut…

Absence of binding of human salivary glycoprotein to human gingival fibroblast-like cells in vitro.
1996
The aim of this study was to determine whether human high molecular weight salivary glycoprotein binds in vitro to human gingival fibroblast-like cells. Primary monolayer cultures of 2 human gingival fibroblast-like cell lines were incubated with a high molecular weight fraction of salivary glycoprotein which expressed blood group A activity and glycoprotein-cell binding probed using an FITC-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody to human blood group A antigen. Surface fluorescence of protein-treated cells was found to be no greater than that of untreated or serum-treated control cultures. As significant binding of salivary glycoprotein to gingival fibroblast-like cells does not occur in vitr…
An updated insight into the Sialotranscriptome of Triatoma infestans: developmental stage and geographic variations
2014
Background Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America. As in all hematophagous arthropods, its saliva contains a complex cocktail that assists blood feeding by preventing platelet aggregation and blood clotting and promoting vasodilation. These salivary components can be immunologically recognized by their vector's hosts and targeted with antibodies that might disrupt blood feeding. These antibodies can be used to detect vector exposure using immunoassays. Antibodies may also contribute to the fast evolution of the salivary cocktail. Methodology Salivary gland cDNA libraries from nymphal and adult T. infestans of breeding colonies originating from different loc…
