Inhibition of malarial parasite invasion by monoclonal antibodies against glycophorin A correlates with reduction in red cell membrane deformability.
The effect of well-characterized monoclonal antibodies to red cell surface molecules on the invasion of human red cells by the malarial parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium knowlesi was examined. Antibodies to glycophorin A (GP alpha) inhibit invasion for both parasite species, and this is highly correlated with the degree to which they decrease red cell membrane deformability as meas...
متن کاملRed cell membrane protein distribution during malarial invasion.
Immuno-gold labelling electron microscopy of thin sections was used to determine the distribution of red cell membrane and membrane skeleton proteins in the vicinity of internalized malaria parasites. When examined immediately after invasion (young ring-stage parasites), the parasitophorous vacuole membranes of both Plasmodium falciparum and P. knowlesi were found to be characterized by the ess...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies against Murine Malarial Infection
Repeated inoculation of mice, monkeys, and humans with x-irradiated sporozoites can lead to sterile immunity against malarial infection (1, 2), Vaccinated animals have serum antibodies capable of neutralizing sporozoites (3) and of reacting with their surface membranes (4, 5). Exposure of humans to infected mosquitoes in endemic areas leads to the development of relatively high serum titers o f...
متن کاملRed cell membrane deformability: new data.
Red cells arrested by fine fibers and subjected to drag forces in a moving stream of fluid can be stressed beyond the point of rupture. The technique, which is basically an in vitro analogue of the microangiopathic hemolytic state, thus permits a study of red cell behavior over the entire range of stress that the membrane can withstand. Measurements made by this approach show an exponential rel...
متن کاملDetermination of the Characteristics of Leishmania Parasite Using Monoclonal Antibodies Isolated in Iran
Considering the different clinical symptoms of leishmaniasis in Iran, and the wide distribution of its agent and the little information in this regard, this study was performed to characterize the responsible variants using monoclonal antibodies. A total of 156 isolates of Leishmania from patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis and one isolate from rat were characterized using the standard monoc...
