Haptoglobin and malaria

Redox Report, 2001
Haptoglobin gene knockout mice and wild-type controls were infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA or Plasmodium chabaudi. The peak parasitaemia and parasite burden were higher in Hp-/- mice than in Hp+/+ mice. The increase in spleen weight following malaria infection was smaller in Hp-/- mice than in Hp+/+ animals.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

The natural history of periodontal disease: The Java study—Origin, implementation, and results 35 years on

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This review describes the origin and results of the prospective longitudinal study to test potential prognostic indicators for periodontal breakdown in a population deprived of regular dental care. Experimental gingivitis studies in individuals highly susceptible or highly resistant to periodontitis showed that bleeding on probing developed ...

Seasonal childhood anaemia in West Africa is associated with the haptoglobin 2-2 genotype.

PLoS Medicine, 2006
BackgroundAnaemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for children in Africa. The plasma protein haptoglobin (Hp) binds avidly to free haemoglobin released following malaria-induced haemolysis.
