Immunity to α-Gal: Toward a Single-Antigen Pan-Vaccine To Control Major Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases constitute a growing burden for human health worldwide. In particular, vector-borne diseases account for 17% of all infectious diseases and kill about 1 million people annually. These diseases are caused by a diverse group of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and protozoa that are transmitted by arthropod vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies, kissing bugs, and t...
متن کاملThe Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria
Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
متن کاملGut Microbiota Elicits a Protective Immune Response against Malaria Transmission
Glycosylation processes are under high natural selection pressure, presumably because these can modulate resistance to infection. Here, we asked whether inactivation of the UDP-galactose:β-galactoside-α1-3-galactosyltransferase (α1,3GT) gene, which ablated the expression of the Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R (α-gal) glycan and allowed for the production of anti-α-gal antibodies (Abs) in humans, confers...
متن کاملMalaria Infections Do Not Compromise Vaccine-Induced Immunity against Tuberculosis in Mice
BACKGROUND Given the considerable geographic overlap in the endemic regions for malaria and tuberculosis, it is probable that co-infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium species are prevalent. Thus, it is quite likely that both malaria and TB vaccines may be used in the same populations in endemic areas. While novel vaccines are currently being developed and tested individually...
متن کاملPotency of Mangosteen Pericarp Extract to Inhibit 38-kDa and Ag85 Protein Secretion by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract can inhibit M. tuberculosis growth. This study examined the potency of α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract to inhibit 38-kDa and Ag85 protein secretion from M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The samples used in this study were divided into three independent variable groups...
