immunosuppression in murine malaria: a soluble immunosuppressive factor derived from plasmodium berghei-infected blood.mice infected with plasmodium berghei have a depressed immune response to a variety of antigens. we report the extraction, purification, and characterization of a soluble immunosuppressive substance derived from p. berghei-infected mouse blood. a crude extract, prepared by solubilization of infected erythrocytes in a parr cell disruption bomb, reduced the anti-dnp pfc response of mice injected with the extract 1 day before immunization. purification of the immunosuppressant was accomplished by p ...19817028864
[oxidative and antioxidative system of the blood in mechanisms of erythrocyte protection and damage upon invasion by plasmodium berghei].in the course of experimental infection with pl. berghei, the mice demonstrated an abrupt lowering in the activity of blood enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and a rise in the concentration of the lipid peroxidation product (malonic dialdehyde) with the growth of parasitemia. the evidence obtained are discussed in the light of the defence and injury blood mechanisms of red cell membranes.19817028174
hemin lyses malaria parasites.malaria parasites isolated from mouse erythrocytes are lysed by ferriprotoporphyrin ix chloride (hemin) or by a chloroquine-hemin complex in amounts that could be produced by release of less than 0.1 percent of the heme in erythrocytic hemoglobin. this effect of hemin may explain the protection against malaria provided by thalassemia and other conditions causing intracellular denaturation of hemoglobin. the toxicity of the chloroquine-hemin complex may explain the selective antimalarial action o ...19817027441

biosynthesis of pb44, the protective antigen of sporozoites of plasmodium berghei.in a previous paper (2) we identified a protective antigen (pb44) of the surface membrane of sporozoites of plasmodium berghei by means of a monoclonal antibody. immunoprecipitation of extracts of mature salivary gland sporozoites, metabolically labeled with l[35s]methionine using the same monoclonal antibody, revealed three specific polypeptides: *pb44, *pb52, and *pb54. metabolically labeled *pb44 is probably identical to the protective antigen previously identified by surface labeling. both p ...19817026723

in vitro cultivation of the exoerythrocytic stage of plasmodium berghei from sporozoites.when inoculated with sporozoites of plasmodium berghei, the human embryonic lung cell line wi38 supports the complete asexual developmental cycle of the exoerythrocytic stage. cultured parasites were sensitive to primaquine, were shown to resemble parasites in living hosts by immunofluorescent antibody tests, and on subinoculation into mice induced a red blood cell infection, the gametocytes of which produced sporozoites in anopheline mosquitoes.19817022652
autoantibodies to red blood cells in rats infected with plasmodium berghei.a radio-iodinated protein a (125spa) binding assay was used to identify autoantibodies to red blood cells (rbc's) in sera of rats infected with plasmodium berghei. sera taken from rats at various times after infection were reacted with washed, normal rbc's, then the rbc's were washed and treated with 125spa. the bound radioactivity was taken as a measure of the amount of ig attached to the rbc's membranes. using this test, anti-rbc autoantibodies were detected in rat sera as early as 5 days afte ...19817021787
endotoxin-induced serum factor kills malarial parasites in vitro.we investigated the possibility that malarial parasites may be killed by nonspecific soluble mediators, such as those in tumor necrosis serum, that are obtained from mice given macrophage-activating agents like corynebacterium parvum or mycobacterium bovis bcg, followed by endotoxin. such sera killed parasites in vitro after overnight incubation; killing was measured directly by using an in vivo infectivity assay. parasite infectivity was not decreased by incubation in sera from mice given c. pa ...19817021427
host defenses in murine malaria: nonspecific resistance to plasmodium berghei generated in response to mycobacterium bovis infection or corynebacterium parvum stimulation.infection with mycobacterium bovis (bcg) or injection of killed corynebacterium parvum protected some strain b6d2 f1 (c57bl/6xdba/2) mice but did not protect strain icr or a mice from lethal challenge with plasmodium berghei strain nyu-2. b6d2 mice were not protected against challenges delivered immediately after intravenous injection of these materials, but rather protection developed by day 7 and persisted through at least day 84. infections in protected mice progressed to about 10% parasitemi ...19817021424
effect of plasmodium berghei on membranes of murine erythrocytes.membranes from normal and plasmodium berghei-infected mice were analyzed to determine: 1) if any antigenic changes were present; and 2) the nature of these changes. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (page), immunological and biochemical analyses were performed on whole ghosts and glycoprotein fractions extracted from whole ghosts by chloroform-methanol. page profiles and biochemical analyses revealed quantitative, but not qualitative, differences between membrane proteins and glycoproteins of n ...19817020448

erythrocyte destruction and protective immunity to malaria: enhancement of the immune response by phenylhydrazine treatment.malaria infection is characterized by extensive destruction of erythrocytes. in addition, the surface membrane of parasitized erythrocytes becomes biochemically and antigenically modified. thus during infection the host immune system is exposed to massive amounts of modified erythrocytes on a scale not normally considered in conventional immunological experiments. the haemocytoxic drug phenylhydrazine hydrochloride has been used to mimic, in otherwise normal animals, the effect of the modificati ...19817020185
glucan-enhanced immunogenicity of killed erythrocyte stages of plasmodium berghei.intravenous injections of glucan simultaneously with formalin-killed erythrocytic stages of plasmodium berghei elicited a greater degree of resistance in mice against subsequent infection with viable parasites than injections of killed erythrocytic stages alone. in two experiments with p. berghei strain nk 65, 100% of mice immunized with the glucan-dead parasite preparation survived challenge, whereas only 28.6% of mice receiving dead parasites alone survived. in the third experiment, using p. b ...19817019074
sequestration of the chloroquine receptor in cell-free preparations of erythrocytes infected with plasmodium berghei.when mouse erythrocytes infected with plasmodium berghei were preincubated with [14c]chloroquine and then lysed by hypotonic shock, chloroquine remained bound to the resulting cell-free preparation. in an isotonic medium at ph 7.4 and 25 degrees c, chloroquine was bound to the cell-free preparation with an apparent dissociation constant of 1.8 x 10(-7) m. the bound [14c]chloroquine could be displaced by nonradioactive chloroquine, amodiaquine, quinacrine, and mefloquine, as would be predicted fr ...19817018392

relationship of alterations in splenic clearance function and microcirculation to host defense in acute rodent malaria.during the course of plasmodium berghei malaria in the rat, splenic clearance of damaged uninfected erythrocytes (heated or heinz body-containing) underwent changes strikingly similar to those of infected erythrocytes. splenic trapping of abnormal erythrocytes was impaired during the period of rising parasitemia but became supernormal just before the onset of resolution of the acute infection. these changes could be related to the development of splenomegaly and alterations in splenic cordal mic ...19817014635
role of spleen in morbidity and mortality of plasmodium berghei infection in mice.splenectomy has a strain-specific effect on plasmodium berghei infection in mice. mean survival time either was unchanged or increased to three times the value observed in intact controls. a delay of early mortality, which was otherwise observed in the second week of infection, was a general feature of susceptible strains. delayed mortality was also observed when splenectomy was performed shortly before expected mortality. ineffectiveness of splenectomy as to increased survival time was independ ...19807014442

an ultrastructural study of developing stages of exo-erythrocytic plasmodium berghei in rat hepatocytes.the ultrastructure of immature exo-erythrocytic forms of plasmodium berghei in rat hepatocytes was studied at stages between 25 and 51 h of development. a new method was successfully applied to localize the parasites in a small portion of the liver by temporary ligature of blood vessels to the majority of the liver, and from the spleen and the pancreas. nuclear profiles appeared to be part of a highly lobed nuclear reticulum. peripheral vesiculation and vacuolization of the cytoplasm was increas ...19817012764
complement does not facilitate plasmodial infections.the influence of the complement (c) system on plasmodial infections in vivo (plasmodium berghei in rats) and in vitro (plasmodium falciparum) has been determined. in rats c3 depletion by treatment of animals with the c3 inactivator isolated from cobra venom factor results in infection that develops more rapidly, reaches a higher peak of parasitemia and is associated with an increased mortality rate (60%), in contrast to a lower degree of parasitemia and lack of mortality in c3-intact rats. the i ...19817012239
effect of route of mycobacterium bovis bcg administration on induction of suppression of sporozoite immunity in rodent malaria.intravenous immunization of mice with 16,000, 60co--gamma-irradiated, attenuated sporozoites produced solid immunity to sporozoite-induced malaria when the mice were challenged 21 days after immunization. in contrast, mice injected by various routes with 10(7) viable units of mycobacterium bovis (bcg) before immunization with irradiated sporozoites were not completely immune to challenge. the extent of reduced protection against viable sporozoites demonstrated with these animals was dependent up ...19817012001
host defenses in murine malaria: analysis of plasmodial infection-caused defects in macrophage microbicidal capacities.macrophage-dependent killing of facultative intracellular bacteria was markedly impaired by overt erythrocytic plasmodium yoelii or plasmodium berghei infection of mice. p. yoelii infection was capable of ablating not only the macrophage microbicidal capacity of "normal" animals but also the bactericidal capacities of "activated" macrophages. the uptake by spleen and liver of an intravenous challenge of listeria monocytogenes was not altered by plasmodial infection, but within hours of injection ...19817012000
host defenses in murine malaria: failure of vaccination with formolized blood parasites to protect athymic mice from plasmodium berghei.the thymus dependency of immunity to erythrocytic plasmodium berghei (nyu-2) infection generated in response to injections of formalin-killed mixed blood parasites was shown by the demonstration that the vaccine protected immunologically intact nu/+ mice, but not their athymic nu/nu littermates.19807011989
two distinct types of non-specific immunosuppression in murine malaria.a comparative study of non-specific immunosuppression by malaria has been carried out in five situations: in both unvaccinated and vaccinated mice infected with the lethal plasmodium yoelii or the lethal plasmodium berghei, and in the unvaccinated non-lethal p. yoelii infection. spleen cells showed a suppressive effect on the normal blastogenic response to mitogens. this suppression was strongest in the mice vaccinated before infection with the lethal p. yoelii and in those infected with non-let ...19807011609
immunopathological aspects of plasmodium berghei infection in five strains of mice. ii. immunopathology of cerebral and other tissue lesions during the infection.histological changes during the course of p. berghei infection were investigated in a/j, balb/c, of1, cba and c57b1 mice. the findings were studied in relation to serological aspects (contreras et al., 1980). high mortality and acute deaths occurred in a/j, balb/c and of1 mice and marked cerebral lesions were found in these strains from day 15, including congestion of meningeal and cerebral veins and capillaries, blocking of these vessels by heavily parasitized rbc, cerebral oedema and haemorrha ...19807011607
immunopathological aspects of plasmodium berghei infection in five strains of mice. i. immune complexes and other serological features during the infection.the development of circulating immune complexes was studied in mice of the balb/c, a/j, of1, cba and c57b1 strains infected with p. berghei. complexes were evaluated in relation to levels of parasitaemia, soluble antigen, specific antibody and c3. susceptibility to infection was greatest in balb/c, a/j and of/a mice. the maximum parasitaemia was 30% in cba and 70% in all other strains. levels of soluble antigen paralleled those of parasitaemia. specific antibody was detected in all strains, but ...19807011606
quantification of hyperbaric oxygen-induced toxicity utilizing a malarial system.this study was undertaken in recognition of the need to develop quantitative systems to evaluate the toxicity associated with hyperbaric oxygen (hbo) exposure. malaria-infected (p. berghei berghei) mice were briefly exposed to 100% oxygen at 3 ata on day 10 of infection. at 25, 48, and 72 h thereafter, the levels of circulating erythrcytes and percent parasitized rbc were monitored and compared to those of infected non-exposed controls. the total erythrocyte counts of the infected hbo-exposed an ...19817011300

complement-mediated defect in clearance and sequestration of sensitized, autologous erythrocytes in rodent malaria.we investigated the ability of malaria-infected and normal mice to clear particulate immune complexes consisting of autologous erythrocytes sensitized with either igg or complement. normal mice rapidly clear autologous erythrocytes optimally sensitized with igg and the liver plays a major role in their sequestration. clearance of optimally sensitized erythrocytes is complement-dependent because cobra venom factor-treated, normal mice failed to clear these cells rapidly, unless they had been pre- ...19817005263
characterization of surface proteins and glycoproteins on red blood cells from mice infected with haemosporidia: plasmodium berghei infections of balb/c mice.the surface proteins and glycoproteins of red cells from plasmodium berghei-infected blood have been radio-isotope labelled and compared with those of normal mouse erythrocytes using the following protein labelling probes: lactoperoxidase-catalysed radio-iodination of tyrosyl residues, periodate oxidation and nab3h4 reduction of sialic acid and oxidation of galactosyl/n-acetylgalactosaminyl residues by galactose oxidase with subsequent nab3h4 reduction. during p. berghei infection, new tyrosyl-l ...19807003500
changes in lysosomal enzymes of peritoneal exudate cells in albino rats and mastomys natalensis during plasmodium berghei infection.activities of certain lysosomal enzymes of peritoneal exudate cells were followed during plasmodium berghei infection in two experimental hosts. in albino rats, where sterile immunity against the infection develops, levels of beta-d-glucuroniodase and acid phosphatase activities were increased several times the normal values. on the other hand, in mastomys natalensis, which succumbs to infection, levels of both the enzymes decreased considerably. cathepsin d activity did not change to a signific ...19807003382
molecular complexes of quinoline antimalarials with iron-porphyrin components of protease-digested methemoglobin.chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine and quinacrine have been found by difference spectroscopy to interact with hemozoin from plasmodium berghei, trypsin and pronase-digested methemoglobin, hemin, heme, protoporphyrin ix and hematoporphyrin. these drugs also compete with one another in their binding to hemin. it is proposed that the iron-porphyrin moiety of digested hemoglobin is a common binding site for the accumulation of the schizontocidal drugs in the autophagosomes of the malarial parasite.19807002334

cold isohaemagglutinins in plasmodium berghei-infected rats reacting with parasitized reticulocytes.significant levels of cold igm and igg isohaemagglutinins were detected in the serum of rats infected with plasmodium berghei ksp 11. peak titres occurred 15 days after initial infection at the time when the parasitaemia was dropping rapidly, or 7 days after a second challenge infection. infected reticulocytes were much more sensitive to agglutination than uninfected cells, but absorption experiments demonstrated isoantigenicity in the determinants involved. this result indicated that the presen ...19806998593
enhanced fusion capacity of malaria (plasmodium berghei)-infected mouse red cells.the capacity of normal and malaria-infected mouse red cells to undergo fusion was investigated by phase contrast microscopy. the fusion of mouse red cells induced by 50% w/w poly(ethylene glycol)-6000 in the presence of ca+2 is enhanced by p. berghei infection. cells carrying parasites in the ring form stage and early trophozoite stage show slightly higher fusion induced by dimethyl sulphoxide and ca+2 than those carrying parasites in trophozoite and schizont stages.19806998573

purine base and nucleoside uptake in plasmodium berghei and host erythrocytes.the absorption of 3h-labeled adenine, adenosine, hypoxanthine, and 14c-labeled inosine by normal rat erythrocytes, plasmodium bergheri-infected erythrocytes and saponin released "free parasites" was measured. the uptake of these labeled substrates by normal rat erythrocytes occurs both by diffusion and mediated transport systems. similar absorptive mechanisms for these substrates also were observed for both plasmodium berghei-infected erythrocytes and "free parasites." data from inhibition studi ...19806993639
immunization against rodent malaria with cryopreserved irradiated sporozoites of plasmodium berghei.the preparation and storage of plasmodium berghei sporozoites for immunization purposes is described. the sporozoites were harvested from the salivary glands of infected mosquitoes, and maintained in cold tissue culture medium m199 with or without mouse serum. they were irradiated and frozen either at -75 degrees c or in liquid nitrogen. after various periods sporozoites were thawed and injected into a/j mice. at the end of the immunization period the animals were challenged with infective sporo ...19806992606
the diagnosis of malaria infection using a solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of malaria antigens. application to the detection of plasmodium berghei infection in mice.a method has been devised to show that malaria parasites can be detected serologically in infected blood with a high degree of sensitivity. using a murine malaria model, parasites were demonstrated in a solid-phase radio-immunoassay which measured antibody-binding inhibition. lysed red blood cells (r.b.c.) were incubated with labelled specific antibody and were then reacted in antigen-coated tubes. the degree of inhibition of antibody binding in the tubes correlated with the level of parasitaemi ...19806992060
synthesis of potential inhibitors of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase for testing as antiprotozoal agents. 1. 7-substituted 6-oxopurines.biological evidence indicates that the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (ec 2.4.2.8) is vital for cell proliferation in malarial parasites but nonessential for mammalian cells. 7-substituted guanines and hypoxanthines in which the 7 substituent bears functional or hydrophobic groups were prepared with the aim of finding a suitably constituted compound whose resemblance to the normal substrate allows it to compete for the reversible purine binding site of hgrptase while allow ...19806991691
monovalent fragments (fab) of monoclonal antibodies to a sporozoite surface antigen (pb44) protect mice against malarial infection.monoclonal antibodies (ig1, k) directed against a surface component of plasmodium berghei sporozoites (pb-44) confer complete protection to mice against a lethal inoculum of parasites. the degree of protection is a function of the number of parasites used in the challenge and of the antibody concentration in serum. passive transfer of 10 micrograms of antibody per mouse abolished or profoundly diminished the infectivity of 10(3) sporozoites, but much higher amounts of antibody were required for ...19806991628
isolation of a soluble component of plasmodium berghei which induces immunity in rats.soluble material was obtained from sonically freed plasmodiae by three procedures. two procedures, cryo-impacting and freeze-thawing, were evaluated for their ability to disrupt the parasites and release soluble material. the soluble materials obtained by these procedures were compared to materials washed from the surfaces of sonically freed parasites. between 35 and 40% of the total parasite protein was solubilized by freeze-thawing or cryo-impacting. one cycle of freeze-thawing released nearly ...19806991439

changes in the membrane microviscosity of mouse red blood cells infected with plasmodium berghei detected using n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acid fluorescent probes.a set of n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acids (n = 2, 6, 9, 12, 16) have been used as fluorescent probes to examine the lipid environment at different depths in the outer membrane of normal mouse erythrocytes and red blood cells from plasmodium berghei-infected blood. fluorescent polarization experiments with normal mouse erythrocytes have demonstrated a typical gradient in microviscosity from the surface to the centre of the bilayer as a consequence of the motional properties of the c-atoms of the pho ...19806988766
a solid-phase antibody binding-inhibition test, for the assay of plasmodium berghei antigen and antibodies, using radioiodinated protein a.sonicated red blood cells (rbc) of rats infected with plasmodium berghei (pb) were used to coat plastic tubes with pb antigens. the antigen-coated tubes were employed to detect pb antigens and antibodies, with high efficiency. anti-pb antibodies were estimated by treating the tubes with rabbit or rat anti-pb sera and assaying the bound ig with radiolabeled staphylococcus pra. pb antigens were detected by their capacity to inhibit the binding of the anti-pb antibodies. using a rabbit-pb serum, so ...19806987313
effect of selenium and dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium bromide on the vaccine-induced immunity of swiss-webster mice against malaria (plasmodium berghei).the results of the study described in this paper demonstrate that selenium, administered in drinking water, potentiates the protective effect of a killed plasmodium berghei vaccine for swiss-webster mice. we also report that a vaccine consisting of p. berghei antigen combined with the adjuvant dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium bromide conferred a significantly high level of protective immunity. an additive effect was shown in that the greatest degree of protection was afforded to the group of mice m ...19806987181
host defenses in murine malaria: immunological characteristics of a protracted state of immunity to plasmodium yoelii.random-bred icr mice recovered from infection with avirulent plasmodium yoelii were challenged at various later times with virulent p. yoelii or with another species of plasmodium, p. berghei, to characterize the immunological nature of the long-term state of immunity generated in response to the avirulent infection. it was found that recovered mice resisted lethal challenge with virulent p. yoelii through at least 416 days after primary infection. however, the quality of this immunity changed a ...19806987179
