Identification of Proteins in Promastigote and Amastigote-like Leishmania Using an Immunoproteomic Approach
BACKGROUND The present study aims to identify antigens in protein extracts of promastigote and amastigote-like Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi syn. L. (L.) infantum recognized by antibodies present in the sera of dogs with asymptomatic and symptomatic visceral leishmaniasis (VL). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Proteins recognized by sera samples were separated by two-dimensional electrophores...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibilities of Leishmania donovani promastigote and amastigote stages to antileishmanial reference drugs: practical relevance of stage-specific differences.
The in vitro susceptibilities of the reference strain Leishmania donovani MHOM/ET/67/L82 to sodium stibogluconate, amphotericin B, miltefosine, and the experimental compound PX-6518 were determined for extracellular log-phase promastigotes, established axenic amastigotes, fresh spleen-derived amastigotes, and intracellular amastigotes in primary mouse peritoneal macrophages. Susceptibility to a...
متن کاملPartial Purification of a Potent Immunosuppressive Factor Excreted from Leishmania major Promastigote and Amastigote
Recent scientific evidence indicates that distinct patterns of susceptibility in BALB/c mice to Leishmania major infection are attributable to the differential expansion of distinct CD4+ T-cell subsets and their cytokines production. Production of the Th1 cytokine IFN-g is associated with resistance, whereas production of the Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 are associated with extreme susceptibili...
متن کاملLeishmania donovani development in Phlebotomus argentipes: comparison of promastigote- and amastigote-initiated infections
Leishmania parasites alternate in their life cycle between promastigote stages that develop in the gut of phlebotomine sand flies and amastigotes residing inside phagocytic cells of vertebrate hosts. For experimental infections of sand flies, promastigotes are frequently used as this way of infection is technically easier although ingestion of promastigotes by sand flies is unnatural. Here we a...
