A combined transcriptome and proteome survey of malaria parasite liver stages.
For 50 years since their discovery, the malaria parasite liver stages (LS) have been difficult to analyze, impeding their utilization as a critical target for antiinfection vaccines and drugs. We have undertaken a comprehensive transcriptome analysis in combination with a proteomic survey of LS. Green fluorescent protein-tagged Plasmodium yoelii (PyGFP) was used to efficiently isolate LS-infect...
متن کاملMalaria parasite transmission stages: an update.
The Molecular Approaches to Malaria 2004 meeting provided an opportunity to see the impressive progress in all research fields and in the four years since the previous Molecular Approaches to Malaria meeting, when much of the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequence was already available. Study of the part of the Plasmodium life cycle associated with transmission through the vector, which begins w...
متن کاملMouse model for exoerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite.
Research on the exoerythrocytic (EE) stages of human malaria parasites has been hindered because of the lack of an easily available suitable animal model. We report here an approach to produce mature EE-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites by using severe combined immunodeficient (scid) mice with transplanted human hepatocytes. Transplantation of human hepatocytes into scid mice (scid hu-hep),...
متن کاملA comparative transcriptomic analysis of replicating and dormant liver stages of the relapsing malaria parasite Plasmodium cynomolgi
Plasmodium liver hypnozoites, which cause disease relapse, are widely considered to be the last barrier towards malaria eradication. The biology of this quiescent form of the parasite is poorly understood which hinders drug discovery. We report a comparative transcriptomic dataset of replicating liver schizonts and dormant hypnozoites of the relapsing parasite Plasmodium cynomolgi. Hypnozoites ...
