Investigation of a novel approach to scoring Giemsa-stained malaria-infected thin blood films (2008)

Proudfoot, Owen, Drew, Nathan, Scholzen, Anja, Xiang, Sue, Plebanski, Magdalena

Abstract Daily assessment of the percentage of erythrocytes that are infected ('percent-parasitaemia') across a time-course is a necessary step in many experimental studies of malaria, but represents...

Economic and practical challenges to the formulation of vaccines against endemic infectious diseases such as malaria (2006)

Plebanski, Magdalena, Lopez, Ester, Proudfoot, Owen, Cook, Brian M., Von Itzstein, Mark, Coppel, Ross L.

Herein, we analyze in general the current vaccine market and identify potential factors driving and modulating supply and demand for vaccines. An emphasis is placed on changes in regulation in the...

Dendritic Cells Induce Immunity and Long-Lasting Protection against Blood-Stage Malaria despite an In Vitro Parasite-Induced Maturation Defect

Pouniotis, Dodie S., Proudfoot, Owen, Bogdanoska, Violeta, Apostolopoulos, Vasso, Fifis, Theodora, Plebanski, Magdalena

Dendritic cells (DC) suffer a maturation defect following interaction with erythrocytes infected with malaria parasites and become unable to induce protective malaria liver-stage immunity. Here we...
