Antibodies against human CD36 are responsible for several immune-mediated disorders. The detection of anti-CD36 antibodies using the standard monoclonal antibody (mAb) immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA) assay is hampered by a high frequency of false-negative results, most likely due to competitive inhibition of the mAb used as the capture ...

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.

Infectivity of Plasmodium falciparum in malaria-naive individuals is related to knob expression and cytoadherence of the parasite [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum is the most virulent human malaria parasite because of its ability to cytoadhere in the microvasculature. Nonhuman primate studies demonstrated relationships among knob expression, cytoadherence, and infectivity.

Decrease of Very Late Activation Antigen-4 and CD36 on Reticulocytes in Sickle Cell Patients Treated With Hydroxyurea [PDF]
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by repeated vaso-occlusive events, which result in substantial morbidity. Abnormal adhesion of sickle red blood cells (RBC) to the vascular endothelium is postulated to play a role in the pathogenesis of vaso-occlusion.

Malaria vaccines 1985-2005: a full circle?
Few who were actively engaged in malaria vaccine research 20 years ago (including myself) would have imagined that, in 2005, there would still be a prediction of a 10-20-year horizon before vaccines become part of malaria-control strategies.

src‐related protein tyrosine kinases are physically associated with the surface antigen CD36 in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]
src‐related cytoplasmic PTKs are physically and functionally associated with cell surface receptors and are involved in signal transduction. In this paper we report the identification of src‐related proteins p59 fyn , pp60c‐scr and p62 yes in human microvascular endothelial cells cultured from normal human skin and their physical association with ...

Cytoadhesion to gC1qR through Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 in Severe Malaria [PDF]
Cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes to gC1qR has been associated with severe malaria, but the parasite ligand involved is currently unknown.
