چکیده

132-m (2) and tryptophan in Rab 12 kD (1). The possibility that the assignment of tryptophan results from a typographical error in figure 2 of Brinckerhoff et al. (1) is suggested by the misquoted assignment in that figure of tryptophan, instead of tyrosine, at the same position of human P2-m, the only sequence to which Rab 12 kD is compared.

Continued cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells after antimalarial treatment

Development of severe disease in Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection is thought to be, at least in part, due to the sequestration of trophozoite-stage infected red blood cells in the microvasculature. The process of cytoadherence is mediated by binding of the parasite protein PfEMP-1 on the surface of infected red blood cells to endothelial cell receptors. Although antimalarial treatments r...

Host response to cytoadherence in Plasmodium falciparum.

Cytoadherence of PRBCs (Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells) to host endothelium has been associated with pathology in severe malaria, but, despite extensive information on the primary processes involved in the adhesive interactions, the mechanisms underlying the disease are poorly understood. Endothelial cells have the ability to mobilize immune and pro-adhesive responses when expos...

Thrombospondin mediates the cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red cells to vascular endothelium in shear flow conditions.

Cerebral malaria is thought to involve specific attachment of Plasmodium falciparum-infected knobby red cells to venular endothelium. The nature of surface ligands on host endothelial cells that may mediate cytoadherence is poorly understood. We have investigated the effects of soluble thrombospondin, rabbit antiserum raised against thrombospondin, and human immune serum on cytoadherence of par...

Effects of sevuparin on rosette formation and cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes

In severe falciparum malaria cytoadherence of parasitised red blood cells (PRBCs) to vascular endothelium (causing sequestration) and to uninfected red cells (causing rosette formation) contribute to microcirculatory flow obstruction in vital organs. Heparin can reverse the underlying ligand-receptor interactions, but may increase the bleeding risks. As a heparin-derived polysaccharide, sevupar...
