7 results about "Schistosoma" patented technology

Disclosed are Schistosoma japonicum eggs and the ingredients of secretions and excretions thereof, comprising eggs, egg culture supernatant, and egg secreted proteins. (hereinafter referred to as “Schistosoma eggs and secretions and excretions thereof” for short). A Schistosoma infection can significantly inhibit metastatic tumors of organs such as lungs, and an anti-tumor effect is mediated by the “Schistosoma eggs and secretions and excretions thereof”, which have the effect of inhibiting various host tumors, comprising lung cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, and hematological tumors. Two egg secreted proteins having an anti-tumor effect are further identified. The “Schistosoma eggs and secretions and excretions thereof” exert an anti-tumor effect by activating natural immunity such as alveolar macrophages. The “Schistosoma eggs and secretions and excretions thereof” have a potential application value in prevention and treatment of tumors in humans.

The utility model belongs to the field of cercaria escape, particularly relates to a schistosome cercaria escape device, and aims to solve the problems that when oncomelania escape is carried out in the prior art, flowing of water flow in a real environment cannot be well simulated, an angle-adjustable illumination system cannot be arranged, the cercaria escape effect is poor, experimental equipment cannot be sterilized after an experiment is finished, and the working efficiency is low. In order to solve the problem that cercaria possibly remains in a box body and causes pollution, the utility model provides the following scheme: the device comprises a box body, supporting legs are fixedly connected to four corners of the bottom of the box body, a controller is arranged on the box body, a heater and a temperature sensor are arranged in the box body, and one side of the box body is fixedly communicated with a water inlet pipe; the top of the box body is open, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the interior of the box body through bolts, natural water flow and illumination in different time periods can be well simulated through the disturbance mechanism and the adjusting mechanism, and the cercaria releasing process is accelerated.

The invention provides a primer group, a kit and a method for detecting MNP marker sites of schistosoma and oncomelania in a water environment and application of the primer group, the kit and the method. The primer group comprises at least one of a first primer pair to a fourteenth primer pair, each primer pair comprises a forward primer and a reverse primer, and the forward primer of the first primer pair, the reverse primer of the first primer pair, the forward primer of the fourteenth primer pair and the reverse primer of the fourteenth primer pair are sequentially shown as SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 28 in a sequence table. The primer group has amplification compatibility, amplification can be carried out in a reaction system by adopting a super-multiplex PCR technology, amplification of 14 MNP marker sites in the reaction system is realized, sequence analysis of amplification products is carried out by fusing a next-generation sequencing platform, and identification of schistosoma japonicum and oncomelania hupehensis by one reaction is realized. The method has a comprehensive, efficient, sensitive and accurate detection effect.

The invention discloses application of 5HTR1 and Sj5HTR1 gene segments, dsRNA for interfering schistosome and application of the dsRNA, the nucleotide sequence of a sense strand of the dsRNA is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1, the nucleotide sequence of an antisense strand of the dsRNA is as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and the dsRNA can be applied to preparation of anti-schistosomiasis drugs. The dsRNA is targeted to a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1, development and survival of schistosome and oviposition of female schistosome can be remarkably inhibited, damage of schistosome to host pathology can be effectively reduced, and it is also shown that Sj5HTR1 is a potential anti-schistosome treatment target and plays an important role in schistosome biology.

The present invention relates in particular to an in vitro method for detecting parasite DNA of the genus Schistosoma from a urine sample of a subject likely to have been infected by said parasite, comprising an isothermal amplification step with a set of pan-specific primers capable of simultaneously amplifying and detecting the species S. haematobium, S. mansoni, S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S. japonicum. It also relates to a simplified in vitro method, adapted to endemic areas, for extracting parasite DNA, particularly of the genus Schistosoma, from a biological sample (e.g., urine) of a subject likely to have been infected by said parasite, comprising steps of DNA concentration by decantation, lysis with heating but without agitation or centrifugation, and filtration and elution of the parasite DNA.
