Studies On The Protein Profiles Of Gamma Ray Induced Blood Stage Of Plasmodium berghei For Developing Candidate Of Malaria Vaccine

چکیده
Ionizing radiation is a known physical agent that had been widely used to attenuate the invasive blood stage of malaria parasite, merozoite, in vaccine materials development. In this study, we determined the protein profiles of blood stage Plasmodium berghei of ANKA strain post gamma irradiation. Parasitized bloods obtained from various percentage of parasite density, days post infection, doses (125, 150 and 175 Gy) and dose rates (380.2 and 640.4 Gy/hour) of gamma ray for irradiation and species of rodent parasites were separated on 10% SDSPAGE gels under reducing conditions after boiled for 5 minutes. We found that protein profile of infected blood was different from uninfected blood with higher number of bands in infected samples indicating some exported proteins to the host cells for pathology in parasitized erythrocyte. Higher dose and dose rate of irradiation resulted in more protein bands on acrylamide gel. Based on further analysis 150 Gy and 380 Gy/hour was the most appropriate dose and dose rate to develop vaccine candidate. There was no difference in protein profiles of non irradiated parasited blood in days post infection, however the profile was depended on the percentage of parasitemia. Protein concentration that was analyzed by Lowry method was decreased with increasing of irradiation dose. Protein profile of P. berghei was different with those of other species of rodent plasmodia. It is concluded that profile of protein was dependent on the percentage of parasitemia i.e. depended on the composition of parasite’s life cycle stages, and dose and dose rate of irradiation. Protein profile was also affected by some technical factors that will be discussed furthermore in the paper.

Plasmodium berghei Circumvents Immune Responses Induced by Merozoite Surface Protein 1- and Apical Membrane Antigen 1-Based Vaccines
BACKGROUND Two current leading malaria blood-stage vaccine candidate antigens for Plasmodium falciparum, the C-terminal region of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1(19)) and apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1), have been prioritized because of outstanding protective efficacies achieved in a rodent malaria Plasmodium yoelii model. However, P. falciparum vaccines based on these antigens have had disa...

Background: The purity and correct folding of a recombinant protein is critical for any structural, biochemical and vaccine design studies. Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein-II is a leading vaccine candidate for vivax malaria. In the present study, the purification process of recombinant DBP-IX (a variant form of PvDBP-II) was optimized to achieve the highest yield and purity. Moreover, ...

Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium falciparum is a protective human malaria vaccine candidate. There is an urgent need for models that can rapidly down-select novel CSP-based vaccine candidates. In the present study, the mouse-mosquito transmission cycle of a transgenic Plasmodium berghei malaria parasite stably expressing a functional full-length P. falciparum CSP was optimized to co...

Plasmodium vivax is the world's most widely distributed malaria parasite and a potential cause of morbidity and mortality for approximately 2.85 billion people living mainly in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Despite this dramatic burden, very few vaccines have been assessed in humans. The clinically relevant vectors modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) and the chimpanzee adenovirus ChAd63 ar...
