Abstract:
:In spite of some remarkable progress in our understanding of the immune response to parasites and in the molecular cloning of dozens of genes encoding for potentially protective proteins, no definitive step has yet been made towards operational vaccines against major human parasitic diseases. The reasons for our present failures are no longer attributable to the lack of appropriate tools but rather to our rather primitive knowledge of the basic mechanisms governing host-parasite relationship. Mainly on the basics of our personal observations, we have attempted to review and discuss some of the prominent factors in host-parasite interactions, such as molecular mimicry, phyletic convergence, molecular mechanisms of infectivity and lures of cell communication. In many respects, the development of efficient vaccines applicable to humans appears closely dependent on a better understanding of the basic biological mechanisms underlying the natural history of parasitic diseases. In this context, the development of new concepts regarding the definition of potentially protective antigens based on the study of non-surface molecules, cross-reactive stage antigens and antibody isotype selection might represent promising alternatives.
