Lysosomal enzymes in the spleen of albino rats, mice and Mastomys natalensis during Plasmodium berghei infection. 1983

J K Saxena, and S Khare, and A K Srivastava, and A B Sen, and S Ghatak

Activities of certain acid hydrolases of the spleen were followed in three different rodents during the course of Plasmodium berghei infection. In albino rats where sterile immunity against the infection develops, the specific activities of a few acid hydrolases first declined then increased from day 7 and showed a several-fold increase over control values when there were no detectable parasites in peripheral circulation. In contrast, in Mastomys natalensis and albino mice which succumb to infection the levels of these enzymes were reduced throughout the course of infection. These results indicate a close correlation between host resistance to infection and the level of lysosomal enzymes in spleen.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.
