Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a linear acidic polysaccharide, is related to many important biological reactions for example nerve injury and microbial infections. We analyzed interactions of CS molecules with CS-binding proteins, such as neurite receptor PTPRsigma; and malaria parasite-expressing protein VAR2CSA using artificial synthesized CS library constructed previously. Then we analyzed fusing interaction of CS clusters with CS binding protein-expressed CS-deficient cells using CS-containing nanoparticle complex (CS-liposome) newly prepared. Furthermore, we examined effects of anti-malaria medicine-containing CS-liposome against malaria parasite-infected erythrocytes.
