Plasma vitellogenin detection in males of the African sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus, from Ikpoba and Osse Rivers, Southern Nigeria: a brief research report by Maurice E. Imiuwa, Lauretta Oghenevurie, Eneyeme J. Olowojoba, Duncan O. Onojeharo, Nora Adibor, Ese J. Emmanuel, Nancy E. Ugorji, Sydney E. Osifo

“…Induction of plasma vitellogenin (Vtg) in male oviparous fish has been employed across the globe as a biomarker of exposure to estrogenic EDCs. However, despite initial laboratory validation of the suitability of males of Clarias gariepinus (which has almost a Pan-African distribution) for understanding exposure to EDCs using plasma Vtg induction, plasma Vtg has not been detected in wild male C. gariepinus inhabiting EDC-polluted environment, even with a species-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and its suitability for biomonitoring EDCs in African freshwater environments remains to be demonstrated. …”

Detection of Autoantibodies against Recombinant Desmoglein 1 and 3 Molecules in Patients with Pemphigus vulgaris: Correlation with Disease Extent at the Time of Diagnosis and durin... by Anna Belloni-Fortina, Diana Faggion, Barbara Pigozzi, Andrea Peserico, Matteo Bordignon, Vincenzo Baldo, Mauro Alaibac

“…The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between autoantibodies levels and the extent of both mucosal and skin lesions in 20 patients with pemphigus vulgaris at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up. For the detection of autoantibodies by ELISA we used the recombinant proteins expressing overlapping sequences with the entire extracellular desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 domains. …”
