Profiling the host response to malaria vaccination and malaria challenge
A vaccine for malaria is urgently required. The RTS,S vaccine represents major progress, but is only partially effective. Development of the next generation of highly effective vaccines requires elucidation of the protective immune response. Immunity to malaria is known to be complex, and pattern-based approaches such as global gene expression profiling are ideal for understanding response to v...
متن کاملTranscript analysis of some defense genes of tomato in response to host and non-host bacterial pathogens
The transcript levels of six defense genes including pathogenesis-related gene 1 (PR-1), pathogenesis-related gene 2 (PR-2), pathogenesis-related gene 5 (PR-5), lipoxygenase (LOX), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and catalase (CAT) were investigated in tomato plants inoculated with Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli as a non-host pathogen and X. euvesicatoria as a host pathogen. Activation o...
متن کاملHost resistance to ectoparasites.
Examples of immunological reactions to arthropod parasites include responses by hosts to the following stimuli: excretory and secretory antigens produced by myiasis-producing larvae or skin-dwelling (mange) mites salivary antigens of blood-sucking arthropods. In many cases, these are hypersensitivity reactions, which often appear not to produce very deleterious effects on the parasites. However...
متن کاملresistance and susceptibility to malarial infection: a host de¬fense strategy against malaria
background: in an effort to understand what limits the virulence of malaria parasites in relation to the host genetic and immunogenic background, we investigated the possibility that the parasite and host genotype crossover interactions constrain virulence. methods: two groups of mice from different genotypes were used (c57bl/6 (b6) and dba/2 mice). the mice were infected with a virulent par...
متن کاملInduced host resistance to a transplantable mouse glioma.
A transplantable methylcholanthrene-induced glioma has been carried by subcu taneous transplantation in inbred C57/6 mice and grows rapidly within 3-4 weeks in almost all recipients. Immunization with glioma-adjuvant mixture resulted in inhibi tion or "rejection" of 70 per cent of tumor implants given later, whereas immunization with spleen-adjuvant, brain-adjuvant mixtures, or adjuvant alone r...
