    摘要: The present invention provides a hybrid cell vaccine against Leishmaniasis comprising of syngeneic macrophage with a dominant Leishmania antigen-KMP-11 electrofused with allogenic Dendritic Cell. Hybrid cell vaccination approach with dendritic cells has been widely used successfully in tumor models only. By devising a novel strategy of transfecting syngeneic macrophage cell line from BALB/c mice with a dominant Leishmania antigen-KMP-11 and electrofusing with allogenic DC from C57BLJ6, the inventors obtained a complete clearance of splenic and hepatic parasite burden in late stage L. donovani infection in genetically susceptible BALB/c mice. Curative response resulted from a high KMP-11 specific MHC class I restricted CD8*CTL response. This is the first study that realized the potential of hybrid cell vaccine in the field of infectious disease and clearly shows the contribution of Th2 cytokine response in conferring protection to Leishmania donovani infection in experimental VL model.

    摘要: The present invention refers to the use of HMP (a secondary metabolite obtained from Aspergillus fungi) as an agent that intensifies the mechanism of macrophage activation, leading to the death of L. (Leishmania) amazonensis, the etiologic agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The main mechanism of action of this agent is the activation of the microbicidal activity of host cells, through increased superoxide production, number of lysosomes, actin and microtubule filament polymerization and increased spreading, typical of activated cells. Additionally, HMP represents a molecule of easy acquisition, presents an efficient combat mechanism with no adverse reactions and capacity to inhibit the development of promastigotes and amastigotes forms. Finally, results suggest HMP to be a potential candidate for use against cutaneous leishmaniasis at a minimal concentration of 50 μg/mL.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the use of cannabinoid-receptor 2 (CB 2 R)-antagonists for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of pathogen, in particular, parasitic protozoa, caused or induced cerebral diseases, disorders or conditions including secondary and accompanying diseases, disorders or conditions, like encephalitis. In a preferred embodiment, said CB 2 R-antagonist is a 3-pyrazole-carboxamide derivative. In a further aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising said CB 2 R-antagonist in combination with an anti-pathogenic active ingredient, optionally together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and/or excipients. Said pharmaceutical compositions are useful for treating encephalitis, like cerebral malaria induced by Plasmodium falciparum. Thus, in another aspect, methods for the treatment of pathogen, like parasitic protozoa induced or caused cerebral diseases, disorders or conditions including encephalitis, in particular cerebral malaria are provided comprising the steps of administering a CB 2 R-receptor antagonist.
