Abstract: Multi-phase and single-phase chemical reaction schemes have been developed for the synthesis of pharmaceutical-ligand analogs, pharmaceutical-pharmaceutical analogs, and similar molecular-molecular analogs that possess multiple mechanisms of action. The multi-phase organic chemical reaction schemes include relatively mild reaction conditions, high end product yields, and comparatively rapid completion of chemical reactions, which are all of particular utility for the synthesis of preparations including covalent pharmaceutical-receptor ligand or pharmaceutical-immunoglobulin analogs. Examples of pharmaceutical-ligand preparations that can be synthesized utilizing the multi-step chemical reaction schemes include covalent chemotherapeutic-ligand agents that possess selective targeted delivery properties and a capacity to exert additive and synergistic levels of cytotoxic anti-neoplastic potency.

Abstract: The present invention provides a homogenous population of parasite cells, wherein the cells are not mosquito cells, capable of prolonged culture in vitro. Fractions from the cells, both cellular and non-cellular are also provided. Further provided is a method of treating or preventing parasite involvement with an animal comprising administering immunogenic amounts of the parasite cells of the invention or fractions derived from the cells to the animal, thereby treating or preventing the parasite involvement with the animal.
