абстрактный
This paper describes the characterization of proteinuria in Aotus monkeys infected with quartan malaria (Plasmodium brasilianum), using a micro-disc-electrophoresis system. In the post infection urine samples, increases in total proteinuria, albuminuria and gamma-globulinuria were noted a few weeks after peak parasitaemia. Two new proteins also appeared in the urine of malaria infected animals. These findings are discussed with reference to the belief that the Aotus-P. brasilianum system can be a model for human malaria in renal immunopathology.
