Is there a role for autoimmunity in immune protection against malaria?
Much remains to be known about the mechanisms involved in protective immunity against malaria and the way it is acquired. This is probably the reason why, in spite of so much progress, it has not yet been possible to develop an anti-malaria vaccine able to induce parasite specific antibodies (Ab) and/or T-cells. It has been considered in the early 80s that the induction of efficient protection ...
متن کاملEssential role of extrathymic T cells in protection against malaria.
Athymic nude mice carry neither conventional T cells nor NKT cells of thymic origin. However, NK1.1(-)TCR(int) cells are present in the liver and other immune organs of athymic mice, because these lymphocyte subsets are truly of extrathymic origin. In this study, we examined whether extrathymic T cells had the capability to protect mice from malarial infection. Although B6-nu/nu mice were more ...
متن کاملCD19(+) B Cells Confer Protection against Experimental Cerebral Malaria in Semi-Immune Rodent Model
In African endemic area, adults are less vulnerable to cerebral malaria than children probably because of acquired partial immunity or semi-immune status. Here, we developed an experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) model for semi-immune mice. C57BL/6 (B6) mice underwent one, two and three cycles of infection and radical treatment (1-cure, 2-cure and 3-cure, respectively) before being finally chal...
متن کاملProtection against malaria by sickle-cell trait.
We have shown that the haemolytic activity of fatty acids may be implicated in the destruction of erythrocytes by malaria parasites (Laser et al., 1975a,b). Under normal conditions free fatty acids are buffered by albumin in the serum and haemoglobin within the erythrocyte. During a malarial infection, however, the presence of the Plasmodium leads to an increase in both serum and erythrocyte fa...
متن کاملImmune Protection Against Chlamydia trachomatis in Females
Despite significant advances in our understanding of the biology and antigenic structure of Chlamydia trachomatis, and the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of chlamydial disease, the magnitude of morbidity from human chlamydial infections remains an important public health concern. Control of chlamydial disease will likely depend on a multidisciplinary approach, including the development of i...
