1. Characterization of the thrombospondin related anonymous protein 2 (TRAP 2) of the protozoan Neospora caninum in the cell invasion process. / Caracterização da proteína anônima relacionada à trombospondina 2 (TRAP 2) do protozoário Neospora caninum no processo de invasão celular
Neospora caninum é um protozoário Apicomplexa, parasita intracelular obrigatório que possui o cão como hospedeiro definitivo e principalmente os bovinos como hospedeiros intermediários, causando nos primeiros encefalopatia e nos últimos abortos com perda da fertilidade, o que acarreta prejuízos significativos na pecuária mundial. O parasita necessita

2. Analysis of the human antibody response to thrombospondin-related anonymous protein of Plasmodium falciparum.
Thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum shares two sequence motifs with other proteins which possess adhesive properties. Recently, findings indicate that TRAP is an antigen which contributes to antisporozoite immunity. We have cloned and expressed the TRAP coding sequences in Escherichia coli to investig

3. Sites of Interaction between Aldolase and Thrombospondin-related Anonymous Protein in Plasmodium
Gliding motility and host cell invasion by apicomplexan parasites are empowered by an acto-myosin motor located underneath the parasite plasma membrane. The motor is connected to host cell receptors through trans-membrane invasins belonging to the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) family. A recent study indicates that aldolase bridges the cytop

4. Thrombospondin related anonymous protein (TRAP) of Plasmodium falciparum binds specifically to sulfated glycoconjugates and to HepG2 hepatoma cells suggesting a role for this molecule in sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes.
Thrombospondin related anonymous protein (TRAP) of Plasmodium falciparum contains an amino acid motif based around the sequence WSPCSVTCG which is also found in region II of the circumsporozoite (CS) proteins of different species of Plasmodium. This amino acid motif confers on the CS protein the ability to bind specifically to sulfated glycoconjugates and to

5. Antibodies against Thrombospondin-Related Anonymous Protein Do Not Inhibit Plasmodium Sporozoite Infectivity In Vivo
Thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP), a candidate malaria vaccine antigen, is required for Plasmodium sporozoite gliding motility and cell invasion. For the first time, the ability of antibodies against TRAP to inhibit sporozoite infectivity in vivo is evaluated in detail. TRAP contains an A-domain, a well-characterized adhesive motif found in int

6. Antibodies to a conserved-motif peptide sequence of the Plasmodium falciparum thrombospondin-related anonymous protein and circumsporozoite protein recognize a 78-kilodalton protein in the asexual blood stages of the parasite and inhibit merozoite invasion in vitro.
Athrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum shares highly conserved amino acid sequence motifs with the circumsporozoite protein of all plasmodia sequenced so far, as well as with unrelated proteins like thrombospondin and properdin. Although it was first described as an asexual blood stages protein, t

7. Characterization of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite surface protein 2.
Immunization of mice with Plasmodium yoelii sporozoite surface protein 2 (PySSP2) and circumsporozoite protein protects completely against P. yoelii. The amino acid sequence of PySSP2 suggested that the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) [Robson, K. J. H., Hall, J. R. S., Jennings, M. W., Harris, T. J. R., Marsh, K., Newbold, C. I., Tate, V. E.

8. Development of two monoclonal antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite surface protein 2 and mapping of B-cell epitopes.
The Plasmodium yoelii sporozoite surface protein 2 (PySSP2) is the target of protective cellular immunity. Cytotoxic T cells specific for the Plasmodium falciparum analog PfSSP2, also known as thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP), are induced in human volunteers immunized with irradiated sporozoites. PfSSP2 is an important candidate antigen for a

9. Induction of Protective Immune Responses by Immunization with Linear Multiepitope Peptides Based on Conserved Sequences from Plasmodium falciparum Antigens
A cysteine-containing peptide motif, EWSPCSVTCG, is found highly conserved in the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) of all the Plasmodium species analyzed so far and has been shown to be crucially involved in the sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes. We have recently shown that peptide sequences containing t
