Polyamine oxidase mediates intra-erythrocytic death of Plasmodium falciparum

Polyamine oxidase mediates intra-erythrocytic death of Plasmodium falciparum

A Ferrante et al. Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg. 1983.

Abstract

Using a number of established culture strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the effects of the addition of polyamine oxidase and spermine on the intra-erythrocytic forms were studied. Cultures to which polyamine oxidase and polyamines were added contained only degenerate parasites but if one or other were added alone the cultures were similar to the controls. The effects were confirmed by 35S-methionine incorporation.
