The membrane-associated form of the variable surface glycoprotein (mfVSG) from African trypanosomes is a potent macrophage activator capable of inducing production of tumor necrosis factor z (TNFalfa) in both bovine and murine models. Using a bovine model. we have re-investigated the hypothesis t...

Understanding the basis of protective immunity to Cowdria ruminantium will facilitate the development of an effective subunit vaccine against heartwater in ruminants and contribute to a better definition of protective immune mechanisms to obligate intracellular pathogens in general. Until recentl...

Bovine bone marrow-derived macrophages were infected in vitro with non-cytopathic or cytopathic strains of bovine viral diarrhoea virus. Infection with both biotypes resulted in a decreased production of tumour necrosis factor alpha upon stimulation with heat-inactivated Salmonella dublin or lipo...

The TNF-alfa gene on mouse chromosome MMU17 is among the candidates for the trypanosomosis resistance QTG Tirl. Tit t has the largest effect of those loci so far detected which influence degree of resistance to murine trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosome congolense infection. We therefore studied...

Memory T- and B-cell responses to trypanosome antigens were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, spleen and lymph node cells obtained from 4 trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle which had been exposed to 6 experimental infections with Trypanosoma congolense. These cattle were treated with try...

In the present study, we used newly developed F11 generation mouse advanced intercross lines (AIL) to fine map Pas1–3 quantitative trait loci (QTL). The (A/J x C57BL/6) F11 AIL mouse population was created by crossing lung tumor-resistant C57BL/6 mice with lung tumor-susceptible A/J mice. By se...

In this paper I argue for building dialogues between scientific and Maasai knowledge articulations, utilizing knowledge of wildebeest as an example. By locating Maasai and scientific knowledges regarding a particular subject (wildebeest) in relation to each other-in discourse and in practice-my i...

We have previously obtained strong evidence for linkage of mild malaria attack to the MHC region, with a peak close to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene. We screened, for polymorphisms, the entire TNF gene in the same sample of 34 families comprising 197 individuals living in a Plasmodium falc...

Experimental infections of mice with the African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei lead to a profound state of T-cell unresponsiveness in the lymph node cell (LNC) compartment. This suppression is mediated by macrophage-like cells which inhibit interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion and down-regulate IL-2 r...

Cowdria-specific CD4<sup(+)> T-cell lines generated from immunized cattle responded to both soluble and membrane proteins of the agent. The lines produced the Cowdria-inhibitory cytokine IFN-<gamma> in response to soluble antigens fractionated by gel filtration and fast performance liquid chromat...
