Developing giant plasma membrane vesicles from Leishmania cells to investigate the role of membrane proteins in photodynamic inactivation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 2, Page 480-488, March/April 2026.
In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

Drosophila Model of Leishmania amazonensis Infection

BIO-PROTOCOL, 2017
This protocol describes how to generate and harvest antibody-free L. amazonensis amastigotes, and how to infect adult Drosophila melanogaster with these parasites. This model recapitulates key aspects of the interactions between Leishmania amastigotes and animal phagocytes.

Inhibition of pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) expression in Leishmania promastigotes using a full-length antisense construct

, 2009
Leishmania exhibit many unusual features, one of which is the pteridine metabolic pathway essential for the growth for these parasites. Leishmania have evolved a complex and versatile pteridine salvage network capable of scavenging a wide array of ...

Comparative study of the ability of Leishmania mexicana promastigotes and amastigotes to alter macrophage signalling and functions

, 2010
Leishmania alternates between two morphologically different stages: promastigotes and amastigotes. While the majority of reports focused on how the promastigote form can alter macrophage signalling and function, fewer reports investigated signalling ...
