Biochemical and molecular characterization of putative immunoprotective molecules of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi Audouin (1827)

Cheng, Po-Hsun (University of Pretoria, 2011-06-27)

Most studies on innate immunity in ticks have focused on the antimicrobial peptides from hemolymph, such as defensins and lysozyme, while less is known about bacterial recognition molecules, or antimicrobial mechanisms in ...
Biochemical characterization of the thrombin inhibitor of the tick, Ornithodoros savignyi, and investigation into the expression of its recombinant forms

Cheng, Po-Hsun (University of Pretoria, 2007-02-08)

Mans (2002) hypothesized that the two domains of savignin interact with each other, giving a globular form in the absence of thrombin. Binding of the C-terminal domain of the inhibitor to the fibrinogen-binding site of ...
