IgG1 Is Pathogenic in Leishmania mexicana Infection [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2010 Abstract There are >2 million new cases of leishmaniasis annually, and no effective vaccine has been developed to prevent infection. In murine infection, Leishmania mexicana, which lives intracellularly in host macrophages, has developed pathways to hijack host IgG to induce a suppressive IL-10 response through FcγRs, the cell ...

Down-Regulation of TLR and JAK/STAT Pathway Genes Is Associated with Diffuse Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Gene Expression Analysis in NK Cells from Patients Infected with Leishmania mexicana. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 An important NK-cell inhibition with reduced TNF-α, IFN-γ and TLR2 expression had previously been identified in patients with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) infected with Leishmania mexicana.

Structure of Leishmania mexicana lipophosphoglycan.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992 Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) was isolated from the culture supernatant of Leishmania mexicana promastigotes and its structure elucidated by a combination of 1H NMR, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, methylation analysis, and chemical and enzymatic modifications. It consists of the repeating phosphorylated oligosaccharides PO4-6Gal beta 1-4Man alpha 1-
