Leishmania mexicana amazonensis: Plasma membrane adenine nucleotide translocator and chemotaxis [PDF]
Experimental Parasitology, 2008 Leishmania cannot synthesize purines de novo and rely on their host to furnish these compounds. To accomplish this, they possess multiple purine nucleoside and nucleobase transporters. Subcellular fractionation, immunohistochemical localization with anti-adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) antibodies and surface biotinylation show that the ...
