Objectives: To explore whether individuals infected with Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) develop antibodies directed against PfEMP1-DBLα, and to assess their IgG subclass distribution in severe and uncomplicated malaria. Methods: The anti-PfDBLα

Sympatric Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Venezuela have structured var gene repertoires. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum expresses adhesins belonging to the erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family on the surface of the infected host erythrocyte.

CD36 is important for adipocyte recruitment and affects lipolysis [PDF]
Item does not contain fulltextOBJECTIVE: The scavenger receptor CD36 facilitates the cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids. As CD36-deficiency attenuates the development of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, the role of CD36-deficiency in ...

Oxidation by neutrophils-derived HOCl increases immunogenicity of proteins by converting them into ligands of several endocytic receptors involved in antigen uptake by dendritic cells and macrophages. [PDF]
The initiation of adaptive immune responses to protein antigens has to be preceded by their uptake by antigen presenting cells and intracellular proteolytic processing.

Seroepidemiological and parasitological evaluation of the heterogeneity of malaria infection in the Gambia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As countries make progress in malaria control, transmission may be reduced to such an extent that few cases occur, and identification of the remaining foci of transmission may require a combination of surveillance tools.

BackgroundNew CD36 mutations are constantly being identified, although no study has specifically targeted a Taiwanese population. CD36 deficiency can result in dyslipid state and slow clearance of chylomicron.

Identification and characterization of peripheral T-cell lymphoma-associated SEREX antigens. [PDF]
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are generally less common and pursue a more aggressive clinical course than B-cell lymphomas, with the T-cell phenotype itself being a poor prognostic factor in adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Differential recognition patterns of Schistosoma haematobium adult worm antigens by the human antibodies IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 [PDF]
Schistosoma haematobium antigen recognition profiles of the human isotypes IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 were compared by image analysis of western blots. Adult worm antigens separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis were probed with pooled sera from ...
