Characterising the KMP-11 and HSP-70 recombinant antigens' humoral immune response profile in chagasic patients

BACKGROUND Antigen specificity and IgG subclass could be significant in the natural history of Chagas' disease. The relationship between the different stages of human Chagas' disease and the profiles of total IgG and its subclasses were thus analysed here; they were directed against a crude T. cruzi extract and three recombinant antigens: the T. cruzi kinetoplastid membrane protein-11 (rKMP-11)...

Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from Mexican and Guatemalan acute and chronic chagasic cardiopathy patients belong to Trypanosoma cruzi I.

Trypanosoma cruzi is classified into two major groups named T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II. In the present work we analyzed 16 stocks isolated from human cases and four isolated from triatomines from diverse geographical origins (Mexico and Guatemala). From human cases four were acute cases, six indeterminates, and six from chronic chagasic cardiophatic patients with diagnosis of dilated cardiomyop...

Differences in resistance to reinfection with low and high inocula of Trypanosoma cruzi in chagasic mice treated with nifurtimox and relation to immune response.

Reinfection of chronic chagasic mice after treatment with nifurtimox resulted in different outcomes according to the number of parasites used for inoculation. Nifurtimox-treated chagasic animals injected with 2,500 trypomastigotes developed higher parasitemia and increased mortality compared with nontreated chagasic mice. When reinfection was done with 25 trypomastigotes, treated and nontreated...

T cells responding to Trypanosoma cruzi detected by membrane TNF‐α and CD154 in chagasic patients

INTRODUCTION Chagas disease is a parasitic infection whose pathogenesis is related to parasite persistence and a dysfunctional cellular immune response. Variability in cytokine secretion among chronic Trypanosoma cruzi-infected patients might preclude the identification of the pool of antigen specific T cells. The goal of this study was to determine the fraction of T cells responding to T. cruz...

Validation of Trypanosoma cruzi-GPI Anchored Membrane Proteins for Specific Sero-Diagnosis of Chagas Disease

Trypanosoma cruzi-GPI anchored membrane proteins (T. cruzi-GPI-AMP) were isolated, purified, characterized and antigenically validated to be proposed as candidates to serologically diagnose Chagas disease. The partition Triton-114 protein fractioning method allowed recovering nearly 7% T. cruzi-GPI-AMP from the total parasite proteins. The immunogenic capability of T. cruzi-GPI-AMP was demonstr...
