Evaluation of the transmission-blocking potential of Plasmodium vivax antigen Pvg37 using transgenic rodent parasites and clinical isolates by Di Zhang, Yan Zhao, Dongyan Liu, Fei Liu, Pengbo Liu, Biying Zhang, Zifang Wu, Wanlapa Roobsoong, Sirasate Bantuchai, Sataporn Thongpoon, Piyarat Sripoorote, Meilian Wang, Liwang Cui, Yaming Cao

“…Transmission-blocking vaccines (TBVs) have shown the potential to inhibit malaria transmission by targeting antigens expressed in sexual-stage parasites. Pbg37, a conserved protein expressed in sexual stages from gametocyte to ookinete in the rodent parasite P. berghei, is a viable target for TBV development.Methods and findingsIn this study, we constructed a transgenic strain, TrPvg37Pb, expressing Pvg37 using the P. berghei ΔPbg37 strain. …”

TNF-α Promotes IFN-γ-Induced CD40 Expression and Antigen Process in Myb-Transformed Hematological Cells by Wenyi Gu, Jiezhong Chen, Lei Yang, Kong-Nan Zhao

“…Our data showed that tumour necrosis factor-α plus interferon-γ-treated Myb-transformed hematological cells had the greatest ability to take up and process the model antigen DQ-Ovalbumin. Tumour necrosis factor-α also increased the ability of interferon-γ to produce the mixed lymphocyte reaction to allogenic T cells. …”
