P. falciparum Enhances HIV Replication in an Experimental Malaria Challenge System
Co-infection with HIV and P. falciparum worsens the prognosis of both infections; however, the mechanisms driving this adverse interaction are not fully delineated. To evaluate this, we studied HIV-1 and P. falciparum interactions in vitro using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from human malaria naïve volunteers experimentally infected with P. falciparum in a malaria challenge trial....
متن کاملThe P domain of the P0 protein of Plasmodium falciparum protects against challenge with malaria parasites.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the P domain of the Plasmodium falciparum P0 phosphoriboprotein (PfP0) blocked the invasion of RBCs by P. falciparum. Vaccination with this P-domain peptide protected mice upon malaria parasite challenge. The absolute specificity of the MAbs and the PfP0 P peptide makes them potential protective malaria reagents.

متن کاملKnobless Parasitized Rbc in Fatal P. Falciparum Malaria
We present a case report of fatal falciparum malaria of a splenectomized adult Thai patient. The patient developed high peripheral parasitemia and showed signs of severe malaria with multiorgans involvement. Ultrastructure of Plasmodium falciparum -infected red blood cells in a fatal splenectomized patient and pathological features are reported for the first time with special emphasis on the ro...
متن کاملAPOBEC4 Enhances the Replication of HIV-1
APOBEC4 (A4) is a member of the AID/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases. In this study we found a high mRNA expression of A4 in human testis. In contrast, there were only low levels of A4 mRNA detectable in 293T, HeLa, Jurkat or A3.01 cells. Ectopic expression of A4 in HeLa cells resulted in mostly cytoplasmic localization of the protein. To test whether A4 has antiviral activity similar to th...
