Abstract

An increased frequency of high titers of antibodies against A, B, ORh+ trypsinized, and ORh+ neuraminidase-treated human red blood cells was observed in the sera of Africans living in a malaria endemic area, and Europeans with primary malaria attacks. In the latter group, titers of agglutinins against neuraminidase treated RBC were increased in 84% of individuals and were of the IgM class. Inhibition experiments with beta-D-galactose and lactose showed that this agglutinin was directed to the T antigen of human RBC. Its possible implication in malaria related anemia is discussed.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Antimalarial Agents (ASM)

Antimalarial agents, also known as antimalarials, are designed to prevent or cure malaria. Discover the latest research on antimalarial agents here.
