AbstractBackground Renal cortical anisotropic backscatter artifact (CABA) is a hyperechoic region of the renal poles where the insonation of sound beams is perpendicular to the renal tubules within the renal cortex.Aims To determine whether renal CABA can be observed in healthy cats and to compare the echogenicity of renal CABA with that of the spl
Subcellular localization of an intracellular serine protease of 68 kDa in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes
Here we report the subcellular localization of an intracellular serine protease of 68 kDa in axenic promastigotes of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, using subcellular fractionation, enzymatic assays, immunoblotting, and immunocytochemistry.All fractions were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and the serine protease activity was mea
