The presence of high levels of pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-, IL-1 and IFN- is correlated with severe malaria [4]
The presence of high levels of pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-, IL-1 and IFN- is correlated with severe malaria [4]. elusive. In the actual study, using proteomic liquid chromatographic mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and immunochemical approaches, we compared the serum protein profiles of malaria patients and healthy individuals. Particularly, we utilized the malarial HZ itself to capture serum proteins capable to bind to HZ, enabling us to identify several proteins such as apolipoprotein E (ApoE), serum amyloid A (SAA), gelsolin, complement factor H and fibrinogen that were found to differ among healthy and malaria individual. Of particular interest is LPS binding protein (LBP), which is reported herein CHMFL-BTK-01 for the first time in the context of malaria. LBP is usually produced during innate inflammatory response to gram-negative bacterial infections. The exact…
