Immunoblot analysis of Leishmania panamensis antigens in sera of patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Sera from 86 Colombian patients with parasitologically confirmed cutaneous leishmaniasis were studied by immunoblot analysis in order to identify a specific pattern for Leishmania infection. A soluble extract of Leishmania panamensis was used as the antigen. Sera from patients with Chagas' disease and sera from patients with no record of infection with trypanosomatids were also studied. The ser...

متن کاملCharacterization of Neutrophil Function in Human Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania braziliensis
Infection with different Leishmania spp. protozoa can lead to a variety of clinical syndromes associated in many cases with inflammatory responses in the skin. Although macrophages harbor the majority of parasites throughout chronic infection, neutrophils are the first inflammatory cells to migrate to the site of infection. Whether neutrophils promote parasite clearance or exacerbate disease in...

متن کاملAnalysis of the specificity of human antibodies to antigens of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis.
The antigenicity of promastigotes of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis (L. b. braziliensis) treated with 1% sodium desoxycholate in 10 mM Tris-Hcl pH 8.2 was analysed by immunoblot using as probes sera from American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL), schistosomiasis, malaria and Chagas' disease. The ACL sera reacted constantly with a 60 kD band. No reactivi...
