| Research Abstract |
1) To confirm the ligands to SRs, the candidate proteins were searched on the PlasmoDB. Four of the Plasmodiumproteins were identified and their recombinant proteins were successfully made by common methods using E. coli, and now confirming their biological functions. 2) The expression of SRs was observed in mice infected with P. b e r g h e i ANKA (PbANKA). The expression of class A SR, MARCO, was markedly enhanced by PbANKA infection in lung, liver, and spleen, but not class B SR, CD36. MARCO was histopathologically expressed on the macrophages in marginal zone macrophages and endothelial cells in liver sinusoid. The differentiation of gene expression in both lethal and recovered mice group from P. y o e l l i17XL (Py17XL) infection were measuredby DNA microarray. The expression of 5893 in 59304 genes was enhanced in recovered group compared with lethal it. The results suggested that different types of macrophages were induced in both lethal (M2a macrophage) and recovered mice (M2c-like macrophage).
