Identification of a differentially expressed mRNA in axenic Leishmania panamensis amastigotes.
Differential display technique was applied in order to identify transcripts which are present in axenic amastigotes but not in promastigotes of the Leishmania panamensis parasites. One of them was cloned and the sequence reveals an open reading frame of 364 amino acids (approximately 40 kDa). The deduced protein is homologous to the serine/threonine protein kinases and specially to the mitogen ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Assessment of Miltefosine Activity Against Promastigotes and Axenic Amastigotes of Leishmania tropica
Leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease still treated with expensive compounds that present severe side effects, and are frequently ineffective emphasizing the importance to search effective compounds against this disease. Miltefosine drug (HePC) that used as antitumor agent has been used against Leishmania tropica in two forms promastigote and axenic amastigote in vitro conditions. Different conc...
متن کاملDevelopment of monoclonal antibodies against axenic amastigotes of Leishmania infantum strain in Iran: Implication for diagnosis of Kala-azar
Objective(s): Leishmaniasis is endemic in 88 countries. Amastigote forms of Leishmania are experts at exploiting host cell processes to establish infection. Monoclonal antibodies are key reagents used in the diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to produce monoclonal antibodies against axenic amastigotes of the Leishmania infantum strain in Iran.Material...
متن کاملDNA transformation of Leishmania infantum axenic amastigotes and their use in drug screening.
Protocols for DNA electroporation in Leishmania promastigote cells are well established. More recently, in vitro culture of axenic Leishmania amastigotes became possible. We have established conditions for DNA transformation of axenically grown Leishmania infantum amastigotes. Parameters for DNA electroporation of Leishmania axenic amastigotes were systematically studied using luciferase-mediat...
متن کاملStage-specific activity of pentavalent antimony against Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes.
The standard treatment of human visceral leishmaniasis involves the use of pentavalent antimony (SbV) compounds. In recent years increasing numbers of clinical failures of treatment with SbV have been reported, probably due to the development of parasite resistance to this compound. The mode of action and mechanisms of resistance to SbV have not been fully elucidated. In the present study an ax...
