B-Cell Response during Protozoan Parasite Infections

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012
In this review, we discuss how protozoan parasites alter immature and mature B cell compartment. B1 and marginal zone (MZ) B cells, considered innate like B cells, are activated during protozoan parasite infections, and they generate short lived plasma ...

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Protozoan Infections

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. In the present paper, we discussed the participation of MIF in the immune response to protozoan parasite infections.

Protozoan infection in archaeological material

Journal of Biological Research - Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale, 1970
The identification of parasites in ancient human feces is compromised by differential preservation of identifiable parasite structures. However, protein molecules can survive the damage of the environment. It was possible to detected antigen of Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia duodenalis in historic and prehistoric human fecal remains using two enzyme
