132-m (2) and tryptophan in Rab 12 kD (1). The possibility that the assignment of tryptophan results from a typographical error in figure 2 of Brinckerhoff et al. (1) is suggested by the misquoted assignment in that figure of tryptophan, instead of tyrosine, at the same position of human P2-m, the only sequence to which Rab 12 kD is compared.

متن کاملProbing the Cytoadherence of Malaria Infected Red Blood Cells under Flow
Malaria is one of the most widespread and deadly human parasitic diseases caused by the Plasmodium (P.) species with the P. falciparum being the most deadly. The parasites are capable of invading red blood cells (RBCs) during infection. At the late stage of parasites' development, the parasites export proteins to the infected RBCs (iRBC) membrane and bind to receptors of surface proteins on the...
متن کاملMalaria and the red cell.
Because of the breakdown of malaria control programs, the constant emergence of drug resistant parasites, and, possibly, climatic changes malaria poses a major problem for the developing countries. In addition, because of the speed of international travel it is being seen with increasing frequency as an imported disease in non-tropical countries. This update explores recent information about th...
متن کاملPathogenesis of cerebral malaria—inflammation and cytoadherence
Despite decades of research on cerebral malaria (CM) there is still a paucity of knowledge about what actual causes CM and why certain people develop it. Although sequestration of P. falciparum infected red blood cells has been linked to pathology, it is still not clear if this is directly or solely responsible for this clinical syndrome. Recent data have suggested that a combination of parasit...
متن کاملHereditary red cell disorders and malaria resistance.
Human malaria is attributed to five species of the Plasmodium parasite (this includes the discovery that P. knowlesi infects humans). The most virulent form of the disease is caused by P. falciparum, which continues to have a major impact on human populations: a third of the world’s population live in malaria endemic areas and upwards of a million individuals succumb to the disease each year, p...
