Qualification of Standard Membrane-Feeding Assay with Plasmodium falciparum Malaria and Potential Improvements for Future Assays
Vaccines that interrupt malaria transmission are of increasing interest and a robust functional assay to measure this activity would promote their development by providing a biologically relevant means of evaluating potential vaccine candidates. Therefore, we aimed to qualify the standard membrane-feeding assay (SMFA). The assay measures the transmission-blocking activity of antibodies by feedi...
متن کاملFunctional comparison of Plasmodium falciparum transmission-blocking vaccine candidates by the standard membrane-feeding assay.
Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the development of transmission-blocking vaccines (TBV) against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. While several candidate TBVs have been reported, studies directly comparing them in functional assays are limited. To this end, recombinant proteins of TBV candidates Pfs25, Pfs230, and PfHAP2 were expressed in the wheat germ cell-free expression system. ...
متن کاملInhibition of Plasmodium falciparum oocyst production by membrane-permeant cysteine protease inhibitor E64d.
During asexual intraerythrocytic growth, Plasmodium falciparum utilizes hemoglobin obtained from the host red blood cell (RBC) as a nutrient source. Papain-like cysteine proteases, falcipains 2 and 3, have been reported to be involved in hemoglobin digestion and are targets of current antimalarial drug development efforts. However, their expression during gametocytogenesis, which is required fo...
متن کاملcohesion and cohesive devices in a contrastive analysis between ge and esp texts
the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...
15 صفحه اولa comparative study of the relationship between self-, peer-, and teacher-assessments in productive skills
تمایل به ارزیابی جایگزین و تعویض آن با آزمون سنتی مداد و کاغذ در سالهای اخیر افزایش یافته است. اکثر زبان آموزان در کلاس های زبان از نمره نهایی که استاد تعیین میکند ناراضی اند. این تحقیق جهت بررسی ارزیابی در کلاس های زبان انگلیسی به هدف رضایتمندی زبان آموزان از نمره هایشان انجام گرفته است که در آن نمرات ارائه شده توسط سه گروه ارزیاب (ارزیابی خود دانشجو، همسالان واستاد) در مهارت های تولید (تکل...
