IMRAS-Immunization with radiation-attenuated Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites by mosquito bite: Cellular immunity to sporozoites, CSP, AMA1, TRAP and CelTOS. by Martha Sedegah, Michael R Hollingdale, Harini Ganeshan, Maria Belmonte, Jun Huang, Arnel Belmonte, Sandra Inoue, Rachel Velasco, Bradley Hickey, Nimfa Teneza-Mora, Joanne Lumsden, Sharina Reyes, Jo Glenna Banania, Anatalio Reyes, Ivelese Guzman, Thomas L Richie, Judith E Epstein, Eileen Villasante

“…<h4>Background</h4>Immunization with radiation-attenuated sporozoites (RAS) by mosquito bites provides >90% sterile protection against Plasmodium falciparum malaria in humans. We conducted a clinical trial based on data from previous RAS clinical trials that suggested that 800-1200 infected bites should induce ~50% protective vaccine efficacy (VE) against controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) administered three weeks after the final immunization. …”

Disease-Associated Dopamine Receptor D2 Variants Exhibit Functional Consequences Depending on Different Heterotrimeric G-Protein Subunit Combinations by Nele Niebrügge, Olga Trovato, Roman Praschberger, Andreas Lieb

“…We were able to confirm the reported gain-of-function phenotype by Rodriguez-Contreras et al. and extend it by the use of the most abundant heterotrimeric G-protein subunits, Gα_oA and Gα_i1, β₁ and β₂, and γ₃ and γ₇, in mouse and human basal ganglia. <b>Conclusions:</b> Although our results indicate that the interaction of the two variants with the most highly expressed heterotrimeric G-protein complex subunit combinations also results in a gain-of-function phenotype, they also clearly demonstrate that the phenotype can be significantly altered, dependent on heterotrimeric G-protein complex expression.…”
