Fusion of Sendai virus with the target cell membrane is required for T cell cytotoxicity [PDF]
INFECTION of mice with viruses can generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which show restricted specificity for target cell lysis. Specific lysis requires that the virus used to prime the target cells must be of the same type as that used to sensitise ...

THE RÔLE OF QUININE IN HAEMOLYSIS [PDF]
Quinine produces haemolysis of rabbit and human red blood cells in concentrations up to 1 in 700. In a concentration of 1 in 10,000 it increases the degree of haemolysis produced by various haemolytic agents like saponin, bile salts and digitonin in vitro. Quinine when injected intravenously in 35 mg./kg. dose in rabbits increases the susceptibility of

Positive direct antiglobulin test in post-artesunate delayed haemolysis: more than a coincidence?
Background Delayed haemolysis is a frequent adverse event after treatment with artesunate (AS). Removing once-infected “pitted” erythrocytes by the spleen is the most accepted mechanism of haemolysis in these cases. However, an increasing number of cases
