J Immunol 190:2138-49. 2013..Our data show that genetically modified live attenuated Ldp27(-/-) parasites are safe, induce protective immunity even in the absence of parasites, and can provide protection against homologous and heterologous Leishmania species...
Role of centrins 2 and 3 in organelle segregation and cytokinesis in Trypanosoma bruceiAngamuthu Selvapandiyan
Division of Emerging and Transfusion Transmitted Diseases, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
PLoS ONE 7:e45288. 2012..Therefore, both centrin2 and 3 are involved in organelle segregation similar to centrin1 as was previously observed. In addition, we identified their role in kinetoplast division which may be also linked to overall mis-segregation...
