Endosomes, Glycosomes, and Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Catabolism in Leishmania major [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) serve as membrane anchors of polysaccharides and proteins in the protozoan parasite Leishmania major. Free GPIs that are not attached to macromolecules are present in L. major as intermediates of protein-GPI and polysaccharide-GPI synthesis or as terminal glycolipids.

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) offer a powerful approach to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This review highlights scientific and translational advances enabled by CHIMs, with a focus on a novel Leishmania major model.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Cure of murine leishmaniasis with anti-interleukin 4 monoclonal antibody. Evidence for a T cell-dependent, interferon gamma-independent mechanism. [PDF]
, 1990 BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania major develop fatal, progressive disease, despite an immune response characterized by expansion of CD4+ T cells in the draining lymph nodes.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Trypanocidal and leishmanicidal activity of six limonoids [PDF]
, 2020 Six limonoids [kotschyienone A and B (1, 2), 7-deacetylgedunin (3), 7-deacetyl-7-oxogedunin (4), andirobin (5) and methyl angolensate (6)] were investigated for their trypanocidal and leishmanicidal activities using bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma ...

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2017 The cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by the protozoan of the genus Leishmania. It is considered by WHO as a public health issue and a neglected disease, which affects rural workers and it is also a risk to travelers in endemic areas. The conventional treatment is toxic and leads to severe side effects.
