Functional Role, Temporal Dynamics, and Protective Impact of IgA on Clinical Outcomes in Uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum Malaria
REFNo: HS5353ES
General Objective
To investigate the functional role, temporal dynamics, and protective impact of IgA on clinical outcomes in adult patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda.
Specific Objectives
1. To quantify the functional activity of serum IgA antibodies in adult patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda, by measuring the percentage reduction in hepatocyte infection, the inhibition of merozoite invasion of erythrocytes, and the level of neutrophil activation through oxidative burst and cytokine release.
2. To characterize the temporal dynamics and persistence of IgA responses in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region over a 42-day follow-up period, by measuring peak IgA levels (C_max), time to peak level (T_max), rate of decline (IgA half-life), and area under the curve (AUC).
3. To evaluate the association between serum IgA levels and clinical outcomes in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region, by assessing symptom resolution time and parasite clearance time.
4. To determine the correlation between IgA levels and complement activation, as well as their association with pro-inflammatory or regulatory cytokines during and after Plasmodium falciparum infection in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda.
