Interplay between lipoproteins and bee venom phospholipase A2 in relation to their anti-plasmodium toxicity
We previously showed that the in vitro intraerythrocytic development of the malarial agent Plasmodium falciparum is strongly inhibited by secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) from animal venoms. Inhibition is dependent on enzymatic activity and requires the presence of serum lipoproteins in the paras...
