“…The encoded protein, anopheline anti-platelet protein (AAPP), binds directly to type-I and type-III collagen, and has in vitro anti-platelet activity in platelets from humans, rats, and mice [9,10]. AAPP inhibited whole blood aggregation induced by collagen at 10 mg/kg body weight (bw) and prevented pulmonary death at a lower dose (3 mg/kg bw) without prolongation of bleeding time in a mouse tail-cut model compared with aspirin (100 mg/kg bw), which compromised hemostasis [10]. Thus, based on a new concept (i.e., achieving anti-thrombotic effects by counteracting the thrombogenic property of collagen), developing AAPP as an anti-thrombotic agent is potentially useful.…”

“…Inhibition of Collagen Binding of AAPP by the 8H7 Fab-AAPP inhibits platelet aggregation via direct binding to collagen (7,14). Experiments were carried out to determine whether the 8H7 Fab can block this interaction.…”

“…Cloning, Expression, and Purification of AAPP-Cloning and purification were essentially carried out as for the AAPP protein described previously (7,14,17). The gene sequence from A. stephensi mosquitoes was cloned into pET22 with a hexahistidine tag and tobacco etch virus cleavage site at the C terminus.…”

“…The saliva contains biologically active molecules, which modulate host responses, including coagulation, platelet aggregation, thrombin activation, and vasodilation (Fontaine et al, 2011; Hayashi et al, 2012; Ribeiro et al, 1994; Ronca et al, 2012). Indeed, the saliva of arthropods can enhance the infectivity of diverse pathogens (Edwards et al, 1998; Limesand et al, 2000; Schneider and Higgs, 2008; Schneider et al, 2006), including Aedes and Culex mosquito saliva and arboviruses (Le Coupanec et al, 2013; Reagan et al, 2012; Styer et al, 2011), sand fly saliva and Leishmania (Kamhawi, 2000; Norsworthy et al, 2004; Ockenfels et al, 2014; Theodos and Titus, 1993), tick saliva and Borrelia (Wikel et al, 1997), or tsetse fly saliva and trypanosomiasis (Caljon et al, 2006).…”
