Non specific resistance against malaria pre-erythrocytic stages: Involvement of acute phase proteins
Levels of different acute phase proteins were compared in sera from parasitaemic and non-parasitaemic women living in a Plasmodium falciparum endemic area of Thailand. The ability of their sera to interfere with hepatic stage development of the parasite was examined. Correlations were found between...

| Summary: | Levels of different acute phase proteins were compared in sera from parasitaemic and non-parasitaemic women living in a Plasmodium falciparum endemic area of Thailand. The ability of their sera to interfere with hepatic stage development of the parasite was examined. Correlations were found between levels of α- 1 antitrypsin, α-2 macroglobulin, hemopexin and the potential of sera to block hepatocyte invasion by the sporozoite. © PRINCEPS Editions, Paris, 1995. |
