Filarial parasites survive by inducing tolerance in host but the antigens and mechanisms involved are not clear. Recently we found that BmAFI, a Sephadex G-200 eluted fraction of Brugia malayi adult worm extract, stimulates IL-10 release from THP-1 cells. In the present study, we determined the SDS-PAGE profile of BmAFI and infective 3rd stage larva (L3), investigated the effect of pre-sensitization...
We evaluated the antifilarial activity of 6 flavonoids against the human lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi using an in vitro motility assay with adult worms and microfilariae, a biochemical test for viability (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)-reduction assay), and two animal models, Meriones unguiculatus (implanted adult worms) and Mastomys coucha (natural...
The present study was aimed at investigating protective efficacy of BmAFII (Sephadex G-200 eluted fraction of Brugia malayi adult worm extract) against establishment of infective larvae (L 3 )-induced B. malayi infection in Mastomys coucha and to delineate immunological responses induced in the host. Healthy male M. coucha were immunized with BmAFII and subsequently inoculated with B. malayi...
