Anti-Pfs25 monoclonal antibody 32F81 blocks transmission from Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte carriers in Cameroon.
Pfs25 is a target protein for the induction of antibodies that block transmission of Plasmodium falciparum. Anti-Pfs25 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 32F8l has been generated against gametes of strain NF54 and shown to block the oocyst development in mosquitoes fed on red blood cell suspensions containing NF54 gametocytes (VERMEULEN et al,, 1985). Comparison of the genes encoding Pfs25 in 8 isolates...
متن کاملA monoclonal antibody that blocks adhesion of Chlamydomonas mt+ gametes
During the mating reaction (fertilization) in the biflagellated alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, mt+ and mt- gametes adhere to each other via their flagella and subsequently fuse to form quadriflagellated zygotes. In the studies reported here, we describe a monoclonal antibody directed against an mt+ flagellar surface molecule. The antibody blocks the adhesiveness of mt+ gametes, isolated mt+ f...
متن کاملMAE4, an eLtaS monoclonal antibody, blocks Staphylococcus aureus virulence
Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infectious diseases. Treatment of these infections has become increasingly difficult due to the widespread emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains; therefore, it is essential to explore effective alternatives to antibiotics. A secreted protein of S. aureus, known as eLtaS, is an extracellular protein released from the bacterial membrane protein, Lt...
متن کاملAssessment of antibody-dependent respiratory burst activity from mouse neutrophils on Plasmodium yoelii malaria challenge outcome
New tools are required to expedite the development of an effective vaccine against the blood-stage infection with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. This work describes the assessment of the ADRB assay in a mouse model, characterizing the functional interaction between antimalarial serum antibodies and FcRs upon neutrophils. We describe a reproducible, antigen-specific assay, dep...
متن کاملGene encoding erythrocyte binding ligand linked to blood stage multiplication rate phenotype in Plasmodium yoelii yoelii.
Variation in the multiplication rate of blood stage malaria parasites is often positively correlated with the severity of the disease they cause. The rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii yoelii has strains with marked differences in multiplication rate and pathogenicity in the blood. We have used genetic analysis by linkage group selection (LGS) to identify genes that determine differences...
