Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya.
(BMC infectious diseases, 2017-04)
BACKGROUND:
Naturally-acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria develops after several episodes of infection. Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and mediate phagocytosis of ...
Polymorphic Variability in the 3'Untranslated Region (UTR) of IL12B is associated with Susceptibility to Severe Anaemia in Kenyan Children with Acute Plasmodium...
(BioMed Central, 2005)
Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality among African children. Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against P.
falciparum infections, particularly in young children ...
Functional Haplotypes of Fc Gamma (Fcy) Receptor (FcyRIIA and FcyRIIB) Predict Risk to Repeated Episodes of Severe Malarial Anaemia and Mortality in Kenyan...
(SN Konah, 2012)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated
through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variations in human
FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
