Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier in murine cerebral malaria
C M Thumwood et al. Parasitology. 1988 Jun.
Abstract
Cerebral malaria in A/J and CBA/H mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA is accompanied by mononuclear cell infiltration, haemorrhage and cerebral endothelial cell damage. This damage is presumably one of the causes of the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier which was detected by measuring the movement of the dye Evans blue and radioisotope labelled albumin and erythrocytes. The density of brain tissue, measured by a Percoll gradient technique, was significantly reduced in mice exhibiting cerebral symptoms, suggesting the occurrence of cerebral oedema.
