Download or read book Plasmodium Coatneyi Ring Infected Erythrocyte Surface Antigens written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasmodium coatneyi produced ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA) during infection of the rhesus monkey. This antigen was immunogenic and elicited an antibody response that was not persistent but was boosted by repeated infections in a manner similar to that seen in P. falciparum infections in humans. Preliminary data showed that the appearance and increasing titer of antibodies to P. coatneyi RESA-like antigen were associated with prolongation of intervals from innoculation to potency and with control of parasitemia.

Download or read book Handbook of Hemorheology and Hemodynamics written by O.K. Baskurt and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2007-10-03 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication primarily focuses on the macro- and micro-rheological behavior of blood and its formed elements, on interactions between the formed elements and blood vessel walls, and on the microvascular aspects of hemodynamics. Since many aspects of hemorheology and hemodynamics are affected by disease or clinical states, these effects are discussed as are hyperviscosity syndromes, therapy for disturbed blood rheology, and methods in hemorheology and hemodynamics. Sections of the Handbook include History of Hemorheology; Hemorheology, covering basic aspects, blood composition, blood rheology, cell mechanics, pathophysiology, methods and comparative studies; Hemodynamics, covering basic principles, microcirculation, in vivo effects, endothelium and methods; and Clinical Aspects of Hemorheology, covering hyperviscosity, clinical significance and treatment. The goal is to foster greater interchange between workers in the fields so as to promote collaborative efforts and, hopefully, improved health. In selecting topics for this handbook the editors have attempted to provide a general overview of both basic science and clinical hemorheology and hemodynamics. Hemorheology and hemodynamics are closely related, the former dealing with all aspects of the flow and interactions of the individual blood cells mostly studied in vitro, the latter with the in vivo relationships among vessel architecture, driving pressure, flow rate and shear stress. The linkage between the in vitro and in vivo research described in the book will be of interest to both basic science and clinical investigators. The editors of the handbook have each been active in the fields of bio- and hemorheology for many years, and have published extensively. They have successfully achieved their objective to publish a well-written and well-edited handbook that will be valuable for researchers and students in the field.

Download or read book Deformability of Plasmodium Falciparum Parasitized Red Blood Cells written by John Philip Mills (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Initial tests with optical tweezers conducted on healthy RBCs demonstrate that shear modulus values were consistent with accepted values from standard techniques. Next, deformability of P. falciparum pRBCs was measured at all intra-erythrocytic parasite developmental stages. Deformability is found to decrease ten-fold during parasitization, which is three to four times greater than previously estimated. Finally, optical tweezers experiments are combined with targeted gene disruption techniques to measure the effect of a single parasite-exported protein on pRBC deformability. It is shown that Ring-infected Erythrocyte Surface Antigen (RESA), a membrane binding parasite-exported protein, plays a major role in reducing deformability of pRBCs at the early stages of intra-erythrocytic parasite development. Furthermore, the effect of RESA ondeformability is more pronounced at febrile temperature, which early stage pRBCs can be exposed to during a malaria attack, than at normal body temperature.
