Increased levels of soluble Fas ligand in serum in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Levels of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) in serum were elevated in patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria and showed a significant decline during disease course. sFasL levels that were elevated before antimalarial treatment began correlated significantly with depressed total lymphocyte and T-cell counts. These data suggest that Fas-induced apoptosis might play a role in malaria-associated lymp...
متن کاملCorrelation of Plasma Soluble Fas Ligand Levels with Severe Anaemia in Gabonese and Indian Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Patients
A comparative analysis of the plasma concentrations of soluble Fas-L (sFas-L) and their correlation with hemoglobin levels and malaria severity was carried out in cohorts of P. falciparum-infected patients from Gabon and India. Young patients from Gabon had plasma levels of sFas-L that increased with disease severity. In contrast, in Indian adults plasmatic sFas-L levels were more elevated in U...
متن کاملIncreased levels of soluble CD30 in plasma of patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) in serum were elevated in patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria but showed decline following treatment. The levels of sCD30 in serum were correlated significantly with the expression of gamma interferon by peripheral T cells. These data suggest that CD30(+) cells are upregulated during a malaria attack and that they may play a regulating role at the site of ...
متن کاملAqueous Humor Levels of Soluble Fas and Fas-ligand in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoex-foliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. In patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. Death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. Objective: To investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas-Ligand (sFasL) in ...
متن کاملThe Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria
Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
