cpbAg1 encodes an active carboxypeptidase B expressed in the midgut of Anopheles gambiae.

TL;DR: The characterization of cpbAg1, which codes for the first zinc‐carboxypeptidase B identified in An.
Journal ArticleDOI

A humanized mouse model for sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum sexual stages and in vivo evaluation of gametocytidal drugs

TL;DR: It is shown that chemically immune-modulated NSG mice grafted with human erythrocytes support complete sexual development of P. falciparum parasites and generate high gametocytemia, and provides the missing link between current in vitro assays and Phase I trials in humans for testing new malariagametocytidal drugs.
Book ChapterDOI

Microsphiltration: A Microsphere Matrix to Explore Erythrocyte Deformability

TL;DR: A new method, called microsphiltration, based on filtration of erythrocytes through a mixture of metal microspheres that mimic the geometry of inter-endothelial splenic slits is developed, which allows for molecular analyses of subpopulations with distinct mechanical phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte-infected erythrocytes do not adhere to human primary erythroblasts.

TL;DR: Investigation of gametocyte-infected erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum asexual stages and clonal lines and transgenic parasites used to determine whether adhesion may be dependent on binding of STEVOR proteins to Glycophorin C on the surface of erythroid cells indicates that GIE overexpressing STevOR do not specifically adhere to ery throatblasts.
