Inflammatory responses to migrating Brugia pahangi third-stage larvae.
Despite being central to parasite establishment and subsequent host pathological and immunologic responses, host-parasite interactions during early third-stage filarial larva (L3) migration are poorly understood. These studies aimed to define early tissue migration of Brugia pahangi L3 in the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) and measure host cellular responses during this period. Gerbils were int...
متن کاملIn vitro chemotactic responses of Brugia pahangi infective larvae to sodium ions.
In vitro chemotactic responses of infective third-stage larvae (L3) of Brugia pahangi to NaCl, Na2HPO4, KCl, K2HPO4, MgCl2 and CaCl2 were assessed. Compared to deionized water as a control, 200 mm NaCl and 100 mm Na2HPO4 significantly attracted L3 (P < 0.01 and P < 0.01), whereas L3 were likely to avoid 200 mm KCl and 100 mm K2HPO4 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.05). L3 showed no significant tendency to a...
متن کاملKinetics of cellular responses to intraperitoneal Brugia pahangi infections in normal and immunodeficient mice.
Filarial infections evoke exuberant inflammatory responses in the peritoneal cavities of immunocompetent mice. Clearance of infection appears to be dependent on complex interactions between B1 and B2 B lymphocytes, T cells, eosinophils, macrophages, and the products of these cells. In an earlier communication, we described the course of infection in normal immunocompetent mice. In this study, w...
متن کاملAntibody responses of Wuchereria bancrofti patients to recombinant Brugia pahangi superoxide dismutase.
Lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi contains significant amount of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the extract of different life stages and in the excretory-secretory product of adults. In the present study recombinant SOD from B. pahangi has been used to see the antibody response in Wuchereria bancrofti infected patients. The recombinant SOD from B. pahangi reacted specifica...
متن کاملAngiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematode: Metastrongiloidea): In Vitro Cultivation of Infective Third-Stage Larvae to Fourth-Stage Larvae
The present study to attempt to cultivate Angiostrongylus cantonensis from third-stage larvae (AcL3) to fourth-stage larvae (AcL4) in vitro in defined complete culture medium that contained with Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (MEM), supplemented amino acid (AA), amine (AM), fatty acid (FA), carbohydrate (CA) and 20% fetal calf serum (FCS) was successful. When AcL3 were cultured in the defined c...
