Trypanosoma cruzi: amastigote polymorphism defined by monoclonal antibodies.
We have raised monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed towards amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, and shown that mAbs ID9 and 4B9 are carbohydrate while mAb 4B5 activity is resistant to periodate oxidation of the antigen. Here we used an ELISA to quantitate and compare the expression of surface epitopes on fixed parasites among different parasite isolates. The expression of markers varied amo...
متن کاملPopulation Polymorphism of Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America indicated by Proteome analysis and by in vitro amastigote proliferation
Nineteen stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi originating from several endemic countries for Chagas’ disease in Central and South America were subjected to two-dimensional protein electrophoresis analysis. The presence or absence of a total of 492 polypeptide spots among 19 gel profiles was determined. The stocks were classified into three major distinctive groups derived from (I) Central America and th...
متن کاملInduction of capping in blood-stage trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi by human anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies.
The effect of human-specific antibody on surface membrane antigens of trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied in vitro by using immunofluorescence methods. Immune sera induced aggregation of surface antigens in trypomastigotes to form polar cell caps.
متن کاملImmunoglobulin VH determinants defined by monoclonal antibodies
Hybridoma clones secreting antibodies against common VH determinants were readily produced by fusion of cells from mice immunized with isolated V mu fragments of human immunoglobulins (Ig), but not with intact Ig molecules or isolated heavy chains. Four monoclonal antibodies to the V mu fragments of different IgM paraproteins were selected for analysis: MH-44 (mu kappa), GB-24 (mu kappa), NF-11...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi amastigote adhesion to macrophages is facilitated by the mannose receptor
Trypanosoma cruzi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. The mammalian stage of the parasite life cycle describes amastigotes as an intracellular form that replicates, and trypomastigotes as an extracellular form that disseminates and invades cells. Recent studies, however, have demonstrated that amastigotes circulate in the blood of infected mammals and can invade mammalian cells. In...
