Functional characterization of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor homolog from Plasmodium yoelii and immune study of new malaria vaccine candidates
疟疾目前仍然是世界上严重危害人类健康的主要传染病之一,导致全球每年一百万人左右死亡。疟疾的发病机理非常复杂,人们对它的了解十分有限。疟原虫能够在宿主体内长期存在,很大一部分原因是疟原虫能干扰宿主的免疫反应和逃避宿主的免疫压力。巨噬细胞迁移抑制因子(MIF)是宿主分泌的一种多功能的,具有免疫调节作用的促炎性细胞因子。它可参与宿主对凶险型疟疾(Plasmodiumfalciparum)感染的免疫调节。有趣的是,疟原虫表达了一种巨噬细胞迁移抑制因子的同源蛋白,它可能在疟原虫干扰宿主的免疫反应中发挥作用。本研究克隆表达来源于约氏疟原虫的巨噬细胞迁移抑制因子同源蛋白(rPyMIF),研究其在体外对小鼠单...Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in the world, killing approximately one million people each year. Malaria parasites have evolved various mechanisms to evade host immune response, leading to persistence infection. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a multifunctional, immunoregulatory and proinflammatory cytokine that has been shown to involve in the pathogenesis o...学位:理学博士院系专业:生命科学学院生物学系_生物化学与分子生物学学号:2162007015384
