  1. 11. Variant antigens at the infected red cell surface in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Victor Fernandez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Plasmodium falciparum; blood stages; variant antigens; var PfEMP1; rif RIFIN; adhesive phenotypes; cytoadherence; endothelial receptor; PECAM-1 CD31; rosetting; heparan sulphate;

    Sammanfattning : Disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum infections is, to a large extent, a consequence of the parasite's efficient escape from die human host defences. Sequestration and antigenic variation are two evasion mechanisms featured by P.falciparum. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Surface antigens in Plasmodium falciparum malaria : PfEMP1 and SURFIN4.2

    Författare :Maria del Pilar Quintana Varon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is an infectious disease that on despite of the ongoing eradication efforts is still endemic in more than 100 countries, sometimes causing severe disease that leads to the death of around half a million people per year. Malaria pathology is tightly associated with the parasite cycle inside the human red blood cells (RBCs). LÄS MER

  3. 13. Surface antigens and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Johan Normark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum is an intracellular protozoan that may cause severe forms of malaria. It is a major world health hazard and reaps the highest toll among the children and pregnant mothers of the developing world. An Anopheles mosquito vector injects the pathogen when taking a blood meal. LÄS MER

  4. 14. Development of a recombinant protein vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Sanjay Ahuja; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Vaccine; Plasmodium falciparum; DBL1alpha ; cross-reactivity; E.coli; recombinant expression; soluble protein;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum is one of the world´s deadliest diseases, killing one to two million children, while another 500 million suffer from clinical attacks every year. Infections caused by P. LÄS MER

  5. 15. Antigenic variation and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria : studies on the surface protein PfEMP1

    Författare :Karin Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Approximately 40% of the world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria, a disease caused by the intracellular protozoan Plasmodium. The species Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the majority of severe morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
