Nucleic Acids Res. Parasite synchronizations were performed by treating mixed stages cultures with 5% D-Sorbitol (Sigma). The slides were co-incubated with rabbit anti-PfMAAP antibodies (PfMAAP 1-3) (1:500) and either anti-mouse PfAMA1 (1:1,000) (MR4), α-PfRAP2 (1:1,000), α-PfRON4 (1:400), α-PfMSP1 or α-PfGAP45, respectively, for 1 h in 3% BSA/PBS buffer, followed by three washes in 1X PBS at 5 min/wash. The association between the conserved N- and C-terminal regions of PfMAAP with in vitro invasion inhibition, together with the cohort study analysis strongly suggests that this protein warrants further investigation as a potential target of naturally acquired immunity.

Study: What are the factors that influence the reach of single-use surface disinfection wipes? Mol Biol Evol. (2011) 6:e22593. Briefly, RNA was purified from tightly synchronized parasites as described previously, using the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini kit protocol by Qiagen (Qiagen, Germany) and treated with DNase to remove all traces of DNA in the sample. The expression analysis assay protocol was as described by Baker et al. Wright GJ, Rayner JC. The parasite plasmodium causes the infectious disease known as malaria. The Protein A/G-affinity purified antibodies raised to the peptide fragments were assessed for reactivity to native parasite proteins by IFA. The cells were imaged on an Olympus System Microscope Model BX41 with a Hamamatsu ORCA-spark Digital CMOS camera C11440-36U. In total 50 images were taken for each antibody used.

Armadillo-repeat protein functions: questions for little creatures. doi: 10.1016/S0166-6851(99)00173-5, 15. (2011) 6:140. doi: 10.1038/nprot.2010.185, 50. We propose the name Plasmodium falciparum merozoite associated armadillo protein (PfMAAP) due to its association with fully segmented merozoites within the mature schizont and with free merozoites.

In addition to its location, transcriptional data demonstrated a peak of expression at the late schizont/early merozoite stage (23, 24), a profile that hinted at a biological importance for the late schizont and merozoite stages of the parasite. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0854.2012.01394.x, 39. Bozdech Z, Llinas M, Pulliam BL, Wong ED, Zhu J, Derisi JL. Plasmodium parasites found in reptiles are P. mexicanum and P. floridense and plasmodium in birds include P. relictum and P. juxtanucleare. Antibodies raised to synthetic peptides demonstrate staining of the apical tip in free merozoites and those within the schizont. In keeping with the T. gondii TgARO and the P. falciparum Pf ARO and PfMOP our results also show a clear association of PfMAAP with the mature schizont and free merozoites, particularly with the apical tip. Investigations into the role(s) of the armadillo repeat family of proteins play in the apicomplexa is still in its infancy but there is evidence about some of the essential roles this family of proteins play during parasite development (34). doi: 10.1016/j.tcb.2010.05.003, 27. View all Plasmodium is a genus of parasitic protozoans that fall under the family Apicomplexa, the class Aconoidasida and the sporozoan subclass Coccidia. Impact Factor 5.085 | CiteScore 5.4More on impact ›, Regulation of Immunity to Parasitic Infections Endemic to Africa To determine the putative function of the PfMAAP protein (PF3D7_1035900) we interrogated the amino acid sequence to gain insight into the protein product. Transcript fold change is plotted against time (hours post invasion), with peak expression at 40 or 48 h post merozoites invasion. Figure 2. For tighter synchronizations, Percoll purified schizonts were allowed to invade over a 2-h period followed by Sorbitol treatment as describe above.
