环子孢子蛋白基因检测法对1例间日疟病例的溯源

对2014年1例初诊为河南省本地感染的间日疟病例进行实验室检测与流行病学溯源调查,以明确其感染来源。收集该病例的流行病学资料,分别采用厚薄血膜吉氏染色法、疟疾快速诊断试纸(RDT)法和巢式PCR法检查患者外周血液,并对其环子孢子蛋白(CSP)基因序列进行分析。流行病学调查显示,该患者曾于2013年5月至缅甸停留约1周,同年6月发病,确诊为间日疟,经青蒿琥酯治疗后,疟原虫转阴,症状消失。CSP基因序列分析显示,该患者前后两次发病时的血样扩增出的CSP序列的中央重复区完全一致,与缅甸分离株(Gen Bank登录号为ABS95455和ABS95456)的序列一致性分别为95.1%和100%,与2个河南分离株HN3和HN7(登录号为KP888996和KP889000)的序列一致性分别为88.8%和67.1%。推测该病例为输入性间日疟复发病例。

提高抗恶性疟独特型单抗克隆出现频率的方法学探讨

用Protein A-Sepharose亲和层析法提纯McAb-IgG,皮下多点和腹腔免疫雄性Wistar大鼠,间隔两周共3次,融合前3天采用腹腔、尾静脉和脾内注射等三种加强免疫方法,以间接ELISA法和抗体竞争ELISA法筛选Anti-Id阳性克隆。结果显示:融合前大鼠血清抗小鼠IgG或抗免疫原McAb-IgG滴度,静脉组和脾内组比腹腔组高一个滴度;Anti-Id阳性克隆出现频率,腹腔组为0.9％和0.3％,静脉组为11.0％和13.3％,脾内组为16.4％和12.9％,静脉组和脾内组明显高于腹腔组(P<0.01);上述三种加强免疫方法对抗小鼠IgG阳性克隆出现频率无明显影响(P>0.05);与腹腔加强免疫组相比,静脉和脾内加强免疫组也可提高细胞融合效果(P<0.01).本实验结果提示,腹腔和皮下多点多次长程基础免疫结合静脉或脾内加强免疫是制备Anti-Id McAb比较好的免疫方案。     

The Receptor Role of Glycophorin A during the Invasion of Erythrocytes by Plasmodium Falciparum

Under the condition of in vitro culture,the effects of glycophorin A(GPA)of human erythrocyte membrane,anti-GPA IgG,α_1-acid glycoprotein,ovomucoid,wheat germ agglutinin,etc.on the invasion of erythrocytes by P.falciparum were observed in this study.The results show that the combination ofGPA with P.falciparum merozoites has high specificity,high affinity and atendency to saturation,and produces specific biological effects.These confirm forthe first time from the characteristics of the ligand-receptor interaction that GPAis a receptor recognized and bound by P.falciparum merozoites.     

Protective immunity to malaria: studies with cloned lines of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi in CBA/Ca mice. III. Protective and suppressive responses induced by immunization with purified antigens

The protective effect of affinity purified antigen has been investigated in an experimental model for malaria which shows a well marked recrudescence of parasitaemia, a feature of the disease in man. A monoclonal antibody (MoAb) recognizing an epitope common to two genetically distinct cloned lines of Plasmodium chabaudi (AS and CB), was used to purify a Mr250,000 polymorphic schizont antigen (PSA) from these parasites. The purified preparations were then examined for the presence of specific and cross-reactive epitopes by immunoprecipitation with a panel of MoAb raised against P. chabaudi AS. When tested previously on smears of parasitized blood by immunofluorescence, or against lysates of parasitized erythrocytes by immunoprecipitation, most of these MoAb had been found to be AS specific. When either AS or CB affinity purified Mr250,000 PSA was used as the target, these same MoAb immunoprecipitated both antigens, and in some cases, a number of associated polypeptides (AP) which copurify with the Mr250,000 PSA. Subsequently, mice were immunized with either the purified AS or CB antigens in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Prechallenge sera were compared by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. Sera from mice immunized with AS antigen reacted strongly with AS and cross-reacted with CB parasite preparations. Pre-challenge serum from CB antigen immunized mice reacted well with CB, but only faintly with AS preparations. In mice immunized with the AS antigen and then challenged with either AS or CB parasites, the initial parasitaemias were delayed in appearance and the height of the peak parasitaemia reduced, an effect which was most pronounced after challenge with homologous parasites. Only homologous challenge of the mice immunized with CB antigen produced statistically significant modification of the initial parasitaemia. In the immunized mice challenged with homologous parasites, the delayed appearance and slightly reduced peak of the primary parasitaemia was associated with delayed resolution of the patent parasitaemia and significant enhancement of the recrudescence.     

约氏疟原虫感染不同小鼠免疫分子的应答差异

目的探讨在约氏疟原虫感染过程中不同宿主的免疫应答差异。方法以约氏疟原虫（致死型）感染DBA／2和BALB／c小鼠，计算红细胞感染率；收集感染前和感染后1、3、6、9、12、15、20d小鼠血清，并无菌取出脾脏，培养脾细胞。应用ELISA试剂盒检测小鼠血清中IFN-γ和IL-12水平，并通过Griess方法检测脾细胞培养上清中NO含量。结果DBA／2小鼠的原虫血症峰值水平明显低于BALB／c小鼠，并于感染后第20d左右自愈；BALB／c小鼠于原虫血症达到峰值水平后全部死亡；DBA／2小鼠的IFN-γ和IL-12水平于感染后1d即出现了有意义的升高并持续到第20d；BALB／c小鼠的IFN-γ和IL-12水平仅干感染后1d出现了有意义的升高；DBA／2小鼠NO的产生于感染后3d出现了有意义的升高，第6d达到峰值，而BALB／c小鼠的NO水平始终未见明显升高。结论DBA／2小鼠通过感染早期Th1细胞免疫应答的有效建立能够抑制原虫血症，IL-12是启动并维持Th1细胞免疫应答的关键性细胞因子。     

Synthesis and antimalarial activity of new atovaquone derivatives

In this paper we describe the design and synthesis of 18 derivatives of the antimicrobial atovaquone which were substituted at the 3-hydroxy group by ester and ether functions. The compounds were evaluated in vitro for their activity against the growth of Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria causing parasite. All the compounds showed potent activity, with IC₅₀ values in the range of 1.25–50 nM, comparable to those of atovaquone and much higher than chloroquine or quinine.     

A Comparative Study of Dihydroartemisin in Compounds in Treatment of Uncomplicated Falciparum Malaria in Kampong of Cambodia

Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of two compounds of dihydroartemisinin(DHA) -Artekin and Artekin (T) in the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Methods:The regimen of 8-tablet for 2 days of Artekin and Artekin (T) were applied to 100 patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria, who were randomly divided into two groups. Each group contained 50 cases. The cure rate, the mean parasites clearance time, the mean fever clearance and side-effects were observed to assess the safety and efficacy of the compounds used. Results: The mean parasites clearance time was 31. 7±9.0 hours in the Artekin group and 32. 8±8. 8 hours in Artekin (T) group respectively; the mean fever clearance time was 12. 7±7. 2 hours in Artekin group and 16. 5±7. 9 hours in Artekin (T) group; there were no recrudescence case in both groups within the 28 days of follow-up, the cure rates in Artekin group and Artekin (T) groups were 100%. It indicated that the tolerability of both compounds were very good, the
