چکیده

The serum protein patterns of groups of Nigerians including 98 children partially protected by "daraprim" against malaria, and 113 unprotected children, have been studied. The protected children have a significantly lower concentration of serum gamma globulin than the unprotected children from the age of 12 months onwards. In children, sicklers have a significantly higher serum gamma globulin than non-sicklers. It is suggested that sickling protects against malaria by enhancing the antibody response against the malaria parasite.

Studies on serum proteins in leprosy; the alpha, beta and gamma globulin fractions.

In an earlier report (9) it was shown that the serum proteins in leprous patients show characteristic and significant departures from normal values. An increase in the globulin component was found, with a decrease in the albumin fraction which maintained the total protein concentration within the normal range. An increase in the euglobulin fraction has also been noted (5). In recent years incre...
