1. Antigenic variation in relapsing fever Borrelia
Sammanfattning : The spirochete Borrelia hermsii avoids the immune response of its mammalian host through multiphasic antigenic variation. Serotype specificity is determined by Variable major proteins (Vmp), in the outer membrane. LÄS MER
2. Endothelial cytoadherence, rosetting and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Excessive sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (pRBC) and uninfected erythrocytes directly blocks the microcirculation and precipitates severe symptoms from the affected organ and is thereby thought to be responsible for the severe complications which may occur during P. falciparum infection. LÄS MER
3. Virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria : mechanisms of PfEMP1-mediated rosetting
Sammanfattning : Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world and the Plasmodium falciparum parasite is the causative agent of most of the severe cases. The pathogenesis of the disease is complex but sequestration and hence microvascular obstruction is associated with virulence of the parasite. LÄS MER
4. Host cell adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Sammanfattning : Excessive binding of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to the microvascular endothelium (cytoadherence) and to uninfected eryrthrocytes (rosetting) are regarded as key-events in the development of a severe malaria infection. P. falciparum rosetting was confirmed to be associated with the development of cerebral malaria in The Gambia. LÄS MER
5. Immunoglobulins in the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in malaria
Sammanfattning : Characterisation of the delicate cell-to-cell interactions involved in the binding of Plasmodium falciparum- infected erythrocytes to host cells is central for the understanding of the development of severe malaria. Infected erythrocytes adhere in the deep vasculature of several organs, sequestration, leading to cerebral malaria, pulmonary oedema or renal failure. LÄS MER
