Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Plasmodium falciparum MSP-1 peptides able to bind to human red blood cells.
Mauricio Urquiza,Luis E. Rodríguez,Jorge Suárez,Fanny Guzman,Marisol Ocampo,Hernando Curtidor,Cesar Segura,Esperanza Trujillo,Manuel E. Patarroyo +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that peptides based on conserved and dimorphic regions of MSP‐1, interact with human red blood cells (RBCs), and showed that the RBC receptors are not sialic acid dependent and appear to be proteic in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium falciparum EBA-175 kDa protein peptides which bind to human red blood cells
Luis E. Rodríguez,Mauricio Urquiza,Marisol Ocampo,Jorge Suárez,Hernando Curtidor,Fanny Guzman,Luis Eduardo Vargas,M. Triviños,M. Rosas,Manuel E. Patarroyo +9 more
TL;DR: Using synthetic peptides and specific receptor-ligand interaction methodology, 6 high-activity binding sequences from the EBA-175 CAMP strain are identified and several of these peptides are located in regions recognized by protective immune clusters of merozoites eluted antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intimate molecular interactions of P. falciparum merozoite proteins involved in invasion of red blood cells and their implications for vaccine design.
Luis E. Rodríguez,Hernando Curtidor,Mauricio Urquiza,Gladys Cifuentes,Claudia Reyes,Manuel E. Patarroyo +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that Merozoite Surface Protein-9 (MSP-9) or Acid Basic Repeat Antigen (ABRA) 3679 is superior to other MSPs tested on the basis of its ability to bind to EMTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium vivax in vitro continuous culture: the spoke in the wheel
Maritza Bermúdez,Darwin A. Moreno-Pérez,Gabriela Arévalo-Pinzón,Hernando Curtidor,Manuel A. Patarroyo +4 more
TL;DR: The most relevant aspects regarding P. vivax in vitroculture and host cell characteristics have been analysed in this review to explain possible reasons why the species’ continuous in vitro culture is so difficult to standardize.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium vivax MSP-1 peptides have high specific binding activity to human reticulocytes.
Luis E. Rodríguez,Mauricio Urquiza,Marisol Ocampo,Hernando Curtidor,Jorge Suárez,Javier García,Ricardo Vera,Alvaro Puentes,Ramses López,Martha Pinto,Zuly Rivera,Manuel E. Patarroyo +11 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, some high activity binding peptides (HABPs) are located close to the hypothesised 42 and 19kDa fragment cleavage sites for this protein, suggesting that these sequences have an important role in target cell attachment and invasion process by Pv-MSP-1.
