Sequence analysis of the MSP 1 gene of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> isolates from Hainan, China (Publications)
AIM: To obtain the complete sequence and analyze the diversity of the MSP 1 molecule from the Chinese isolates of Plasmodium falciparum. METHODS: Genomic DNA was prepared directly from blood samples s
Correlation between secreted and membrane-bound IgG in mouse myeloma cells transfected with chimeric immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes (Publications)
Mouse myeloma cells were transfected with pSV2-gpt and pSV2-neo based immunoglobulin expression vectors. Double transfectants were selected using the xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (gpt)
Mortality among adults transferred and lost to follow-up from antiretroviral therapy programmes in South Africa: a multicenter cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about outcomes after transfer out (TFO) and loss to follow-up (LTF) and how differential outcomes might bias mortality estimates, as analyses generally censo
<em>In vitro</em> antiplasmodial screening of ethnopharmacologically selected South African plant species used for the treatment of malaria (Publications)
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The investigated plant species are traditionally used by Venda people of South Africa in the treatment of malaria and associated symptoms. To evaluate the in vitro anti
<em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> eflornithine transporter AAT6 is a low-affinity low-selective transporter for neutral amino acids (Publications)
Amino acid transporters are crucial for parasite survival since the cellular metabolism of parasitic protozoa depends on the up-take of exogenous amino acids. Amino acid transporters are also of high
