Human Dendritic Cell Maturation Is Modulated by Leishmania mexicana through Akt Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious DiseaseDendritic cells (DC) along with macrophages are the main host cells of the intracellular parasite Leishmania. DC traverse a process of maturation, passing through an immature state with phagocytic ability to a mature one where they can modulate the ...

Immunity to Leishmania mexicana parasite [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis caused by the Leishmania mexicana complex is associated with unpleasant or disfiguring lesions, for which there only limited treatment options. The life cycle of L. mexicana consists of two stages which involve different immune evasion mechanisms: promastigote and amastigote. Understanding parasitic interactions with

Studies on immunology of Leishmania mexicana [PDF]
, 2007 Leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in many tropical and sub tropical countries. Treatment of Leishmaniasis by chemotherapy is not wholly effective and is usually accompanied by unpleasant side effects. The development of an effective and inexpensive vaccine represents a practical way to control the disease, however at present no safe and ...

The DNA polymerases ofLeishmania mexicana [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Two previously isolated DNA polymerases from the parasitic protozoan Leishmania mexicana were further characterized by exposure to inhibitors of mammalian DNA polymerases. DNA polymerase A, a high molecular mass enzyme, and DNA polymerase B, a beta-like DNA polymerase were compared to each other and to their mammalian counterparts regarding pH optimum,
