Genes of cathepsin L-like proteases in Trypanosoma rangeli isolates: Markers for diagnosis, genotyping and phylogenetic relationships
We have sequenced genes encoding cathepsin L-like (CatL-like) cysteine proteases from isolates of Trypanosoma rangeli from humans, wild mammals and Rhodnius species of Central and South America. Phylogenetic trees of sequences encoding mature CatL-like enzymes of T rangeli and homologous genes from other trypanosomes, Leishmania spp. and bodonids positioned sequences of T rangeli (rangelipain) closest to T cruzi (cruzipain). Phylogenetic tree of kinetoplastids based on sequences of CatL-like was totally congruent with those derived from SSU rRNA and gGAPDH genes. Analysis of sequences from the CatL-like catalytic domains of 17 isolates representative of the overall phylogenetic diversity and geographical range of T rangeli supported all the lineages (A-D) previously defined using ribosomal and spliced leader genes. Comparison of the proteolytic activities of T rangeli isolates revealed heterogeneous banding profiles of cysteine proteases in gelatin gels, with differences even among isolates of the same lineage. CatL-like sequences proved to be excellent targets for diagnosis and genotyping of T rangeli by PCR. Data from CatL-like encoding genes agreed with results from previous studies of kDNA markers, and ribosomal and spliced leader genes, thereby corroborating clonal evolution, independent transmission cycles and the divergence of T rangeli lineages associated with sympatric species of Rhodnius.

Fotossensibilidade e termoestabilidade de vacinas contra o sarampo (cepa Biken CAM-70) liofilizadas e/ou reconstituÃdas para administração Photosensitivity and stability of freeze-dried and reconstituted (Biken CAM-70) strain measles vaccines
Três lotes de vacinas contra o sarampo, produzidos com a cepa de vÃrus Biken CAM-70, sob as formas liofilizada e reconstituÃda, pertencentes ao estoque da rede de vacinação da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo, Brasil, foram submetidos a testes de sensibilidade à luz, à temperatura de 2 a 8°C, e de termoestabilidade (protegidos da luz) à s temperaturas de 28, 36,5 e 45°C, objetivando verificar por quanto tempo retinham sua potência, isto é, a concentração ideal recomendada para a cepa de vÃrus presente (3,70 log 10 DICT50 ou 5.000 doses infectantes de cultura de tecidos 50% por dose). A análise de retas de regressão ajustadas demonstrou que, de modo geral, tanto os lotes de vacinas liofilizados como os reconstituÃdos, mantidos à s referidas temperaturas, expostos ou protegidos da luz, apresentaram queda de potência no decorrer do experimento, a qual foi mais acentuada para vacinas expostas à luz. ReconstituÃdos e mantidos a 2 a 8°C, os lotes não apresentaram homogeneidade no referente à sensibilidade à luz. Quando a fotossensibilidade de lotes de vacinas liofilizadas foi testada a 2 a 8°C eles mostraram-se mais sensÃveis à degradação térmica quando expostos à luz do que quando protegidos dela. Entretanto, expostos ou protegidos, a potência foi inferior à minima aceita para a cepa Biken CAM-70. Às demais temperaturas, mesmo ao abrigo da luz, os dois lotes não retiveram potência mÃnima. Quanto à s vacinas do lote 3, conservadas a 2 a 8°C, mantiveram-se de acordo com os requerimentos mÃnimos de potência durante 60 dias quando protegidas da luz, e durante 40 dias quando expostas a ela. A degradação térmica à s demais temperaturas foi mais acentuada (28°C: 5 dias; 36,5°C: 2 dias; 45°C: 0,5 dia). Considerando a concentração viral mÃnima que vacinas produzidas com a cepa Biken CAM-70 devem conter para induzir efetiva resposta imunológica, os lotes de vacinas pesquisados (sob a forma liofilizada ou reconstituÃdos para administração) apresentaram, além de baixa estabilidade ao calor, pouca homogeneidade com relação a este parâmetro.<br>Three different lots of measles vaccines produced with the Biken CAM-70 virus strain were requested from the central cold store of the Public Health Department of the State of S. Paulo, Brazil, and assays on photosensitivity at 2-8° C, and on stability at 28, 36.5 and 45° C were carried out to find out for how long these vaccines would maintain their minimum potency, established as being 3.70 log10 or 5000 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose ) per human dose. The analysis of the adjusted straight regression lines indicated that, with the passage of time, the potency of lyophilized or reconstituted vaccines, as well as of vaccines exposed to or protected from light decreased. Light-exposed vaccines, however, became less potent than vaccines protected from the light. None of the vaccine lots studied, reconstituted and stored at 2-8° C, exhibited homogeneity as to sensitivity to light. When freeze-dried vaccines had their photosensitivity studied at 2-8° C, lots 1 and 2 presented greater thermal degradation when exposed to light than when protected from it. However, in both instances, it was found that potency fell bellow that taken as minimum for the Biken CAM-70 virus strain. At all other temperatures considered, even when protected from light, lots 1 and 2 did not retain the minimum potency. Lot 3 kept the expected stability for 60 days at 2-8° C when protected from light and for 40 days when unprotected, but its thermal degradation at other temperatures was more intense (28° C: 5 days; 36.5° C: 2 days; 45° C: 0.5 day). Taking into account the potency that measles vaccines produced with the Biken CAM-70 virus strain are required to contain in order to induce effective immunity, the three vaccine lots studied were found to possess low thermal stability and to lack homogeneity both in the freeze-dried as well as in the reconstituted form

Search for new resonances decaying to a or boson and a Higgs boson in the , , and channels with collisions at TeV with the ATLAS detector

All figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/EXOT-2015-18/International audienceA search is presented for new resonances decaying to a or boson and a Higgs boson in the , , and channels in collisions at TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb. The search is conducted by looking for a localized excess in the / invariant or transverse mass distribution. No significant excess is observed, and the results are interpreted in terms of constraints on a simplified model based on a phenomenological Lagrangian of heavy vector triplets
