immunity to plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice. ii. specific and nonspecific cellular and humoral responses during the course of infection.the kinetics of various specific and nonspecific immunologic responses were examined in balb/c mice infected with 17x nonlethal plasmodium berghei yoelii (a self-limiting infection). the sequence of events after infection was characterized by rapid sensitization of splenic t cells to malaria antigen and polyclonal b cell activation, followed by a period of depressed splenic proliferative responses in vitro to mitogens (pha and lps) and malaria (specific) antigen. at the same time, suppressed pri ...197879610
immunity to plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice. i. the course of infection in t cell and b cell deficient mice.the course of infection with 17x nonlethal plasmodium berghei yoelii was examined in balb/c mice which were deficient in either t cells or b cells. markedly increased parasitemia and mortality were observed in athymic (nude) mice which had been backcrossed on a balb/c background (t cell deficient) compared to similar mice which had been grafted with neonatal balb/c thymus, and were also observed in balb/c mice suppressed from birth with goat antiserum to mouse mu-chain (b cell deficient) compare ...1976136472
sarcomas induced by injection of simian virus 40 into neonatal cfw mice.sarcomas were induced in cfw mice by the iv inoculation of simian virus 40 (sv40) in neonatal animals. infection with murine malaria parasites, plasmodium berghei yoelli, decreased the latency and increased the incidence and invasiveness of the tumors. all mice given both sv40 and p. berghei yoelli had sarcomas of the liver and spleen at 9 months of age. at 11 months of age, 70% of the sv40-inoculated mice had sarcomas of the liver indistinguishable from those in the group given both pathogens. ...1979225503
delayed immune reactions in mice immunized with malarial antigen.mice were immunized subcutaneously, intravenously or in a footpad with antigens prepared from a lethal strain of plasmodium berghei yoelii. a delayed footpad swelling (dfs) reaction was observed 4 days after immunization, and was detectable at least 42 days after immunization. however, iv immunization was the least efficacious is producing hypersensitivity. regardless of the type of antigen used for immunization, mice responded similarly when live parasites were used to elicit dfs. this study re ...1977326066
the immunological response of cba mice to p. yoelii. i. general characteristics, the effects of t-cell deprivation and reconstitution with thymus grafts.experimental infection of normal cba mice with the parasite plasmodium berghei yoelii (p. yoelii) resulted in a mild, non-fatal and self-limiting infection which lasted for 15-17 days. animals which recovered from the primary infection were immune to reinfection though parasites could be detected in the kidneys of such mice 4 weeks after recovery from infection. (no plasmodia were demonstrated in the peripheral blood and other tissues examined.) in t cell-deprived mice, p. yoelii infections resu ...1977328382
prevention of recrudescent malaria in nude mice by thymic grafting or by treatment with hyperimmune serum.nude mice died when infected with the normally avirulent malarial parasite plasmodium berghei yoelii. furthermore, malaria recrudesced in nu/nu mice after the termination of acute disease by treatment with clindamycin. recrudescence was not observed in nu/nu mice that had been grafted with thymic tissue or treated with hyperimmune serum. mice mad b cell deficient by treatment with anti-mu-chain serum also died when infected with p. berghei yoelii. the data suggest that a crucial role of the thym ...1977330396
the immunological response of cba mice to p. yoelii. ii. the passive transfer of immunity with serum and cells.cba mice infected with the malaria parasite plasmodium berghei yoelii (p. yoelii) develop a self-resolving infection lasting 15-18 days; on recovery from a primary infection they are immune to further infection. cell and serum transfers from immune to non-immune mice were used to analyse the mechanism of resistance. whereas serum from mice which had recovered from a single infection was ineffective in transferring immunity, hyperimmune serum (from mice repeatedly challenged with p. yoelii) prote ...1978342396

an in vitro assay for t cell immunity to malaria in mice.after infection with a nonlethal strain of murine malaria (17xnl plasmodium berghei yoelli), balb/c mice are then resistant to a lethal strain (17xl p.b. yoelli). balb/c mice were infected with 17xnl, anc challenged 3 weeks later, after clearing their parasitemias, with 17xl. three weeks thereafter, spleen cells from such immune animals were used to define an early peaking t-dependent (anti-theta sensitive) antigen-specific proliferative response when incubated in vitro with 17xl infected rbc, o ...1976774978
chronic malarial infection in balb/c mice. effect on the immune response to sheep erythrocytes and histological changes in the liver and spleen.chronic malarial infection was established in balb/c mice by following plasmodium berghei yoelii with p.b. berghei infection. it was found that the igg plaque-forming cell response to sheep erythrocytes was depressed for at least six months. a preliminary investigation of the histological changes in the spleen and liver is described. the possibility that chronically infected mice could serve as a model for the tropical splenomegaly syndrome is discussed.1975779156
interaction between trypanosoma brucei and plasmodium berghei in concurrent infections in mice.in conccurrent infection of trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice, potentiation of one parasite by the other was observed, especially the malaria by the trypanosome infection. the effect appeared early in the infection. it is suggested that the mutual potentiation of the two infections was probably due to immuno-suppression which both organisms are capable of inducing in the host.1976789909
malarial immunodepression in vitro: adherent spleen cells are functionally defective as accessory cells in the response to horse erythrocytes.the basis for the depressed response of malarial infected mice to horse red blood cells (hrbc) has been studied in vitro. results presented show that the adherent spleen cells from infected mice (a) are defective in their ability to allow nonadherent spleen cells of both normal and infected mice to respond to hrbc whereas a response does occur with adherent spleen cells from normal mice (b) do not suppress the response of unfractionated spleen cells from normal mice to hrbc (c) contain phagocyti ...1976793851
mouse malaria nephropathy.mice were infected with 1x 107 plasmodium berghei yoelii parasites intraperitoneally. circulating parasite, malaria antibody and c3 concentrations were measures: parasitaemia and hypocomplementaemia were transient, but the antibody response was persistent. animals were sacrificed at intervals and their kidneys examined: a glomerulonephritis associates with predominantly mesangial deposits of c3, igg1, igm and some iga always developed after 7 days and persisted for up to 6 mth. malaria antigen a ...1976796419
[increased non-specific resistance to induction of malaria by sporozoites of plasmodium berghei yoëlii in mice pretreated with a bacterial phospholipid extract].the injection of a bacterial phosphospholipid extract increases resistance of mice subsequently challenged with sporozoïtes of plasmodium berghei yoëlii. the pretreatment consisted of one injection of a suspension containing various amounts of phospholipid extract. it was e-fective when it shortly preceded the sporozoïtes inoculation. this resulted in total protection of a great number of animals against various amounts of sporozoïtes. there was a correlation between the dose of ebp injected and ...1975819147
regional immunosuppression induced by plasmodium berghei yoelii infection in mice.plasmodium berghei yoelii infection in mice severely depressed the splenic antibody response to sheep erythrocytes but had lettle effect on antibody formation in lymph nodes.19751090525
anaemia in mice with concomitant schistosoma mansoni and plasmodium berghei yoelii infection.1. the effect on anaemia in mice given plasmodium berghei yoelii 3 and 5 weeks after exposure to schistosoma mansoni cercariae, was investigated. 2. haematological criteria (pcv and haemoglobin levels), reticulocytosis, parasitaemia and splenomegaly were used as indices. 3. anaemia was severe in the animals given p. b. yoelii and in those with mixed infection (p. b: yoelii plus s. mansoni). malaria was found to dominate the picture until the clearance of the parasitaemia. the effect of the inter ...19751096378
sudden increase in virulence in a strain of plasmodium berghei yoelii.the mild and chronic 17x strain of plasmodium berghei yoelii showed a sudden increase in virulence following a period of 110 days in the deep freeze. the enhanced virulence was seen in a very high and early parasite peak in the blood and a 100% mortality of all infected mice. the exalted virulence remained unaltered following a number of blood transfers of the strain and after four cyclical transmissions through anopheles stephensi. enzyme pattern studies revealed that the virulent strain posses ...19751098585
immunological studies in rodent malaria. i: protective immunity induced in mice by mild strains of plasmodium berghei yoelii against a virulent and fatal line of this plasmodium.mild and virulent lines of plasmodium berghei yoelii are readily distinguished both by their course of infection and by the preference of the virulent line for mature red blood cells. mice given either mild line were fully protected against the virulent p.b. yoelii one week after they had become negative. mice given the mild line of p.b. yoelii 17x were fully protected against a challenge by the virulent line on the third day of infection (d+3). mice given the mild and virulent lines of p.b. yoe ...19751098589
chloroquine resistance in malaria: variations of substrate-stimulated chloroquine accumulation.the response of [14c]chloroquine accumulation to the provision of substrate was evaluated using washed erythrocytes infected with plasmodium berghei cs (chloroquine-susceptible), with p. berghei cr (chloroquine-resistant), with plasmodium vinckei cs, with p. vinckei cr, or with a strain of p. berghei spontaneously resistant to chloroquine, plasmodium berghei yoelii 17x. erythrocytes infected with chloroquine-resistant parasites had a blunted response, particularly to low glucose concentrations. ...19751104805
monoterpenic fragment analogues of aplasmomycin as potential antimalarial.seven analogues of monoterpenic fragment of aplasmomycin were synthesized as targeted antimalarial agents. the potency of the compound 6 was comparable with the sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin and the antibiotic aplasmomycin in vivo against plasmodium berghei yoelli.19911895301
activities of the tetrahydrofuran derivative, ba-41,799, against plasmodium cynomolgi infections in rhesus monkeys.ba-41,799, a tetrahydrofuran derivative that at one time attracted considerable interest as an antimalarial agent because of a combination of structural novelty with activities against infections with plasmodium berghei and plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice, has been evaluated for its capacities to effect prophylaxis and radical cure in rhesus monkeys challenged or already infected with sporozoites of the drug-susceptible ro strain or the pyrimethamine-resistant ro/pm strain of plasmodium cynomo ...19853985599
4-substituted 5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine analogues as potential antimalarial agents.five 4-substituted 5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine analogues were synthesized and tested for radical curative activity against plasmodium cynomolgi in rhesus monkeys and for blood schizonticidal antimalarial activity against plasmodium berghei in mice. in addition, they were evaluated for causal prophylactic antimalarial activity against plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice. one compound, 4-ethyl-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine (2b), showed radical curative activity equivalent to ...19854067985
sulfur-interrupted 8-amino side chain analogues of 4-methyl-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine as potential antimalarial agents.two isomeric sulfur-interrupted 8-amino side chain analogues of 4-methyl-5-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]primaquine (2) were prepared and tested for antimalarial activity. the compounds were evaluated for blood schizonticidal activity against plasmodium berghei in mice and radical curative activity against plasmodium cynomolgi in rhesus monkeys. in addition, they were evaluated for causal prophylactic activity against plasmodium berghei yoelii in mice. both compounds were more active and less toxi ...19854068013
