Activation of Host Cell Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinases byTrypanosoma cruzi Infection
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease in humans, is an intracellular protozoan parasite with the ability to invade a wide variety of mammalian cells by a unique and remarkable process in cell biology that is poorly understood. Here we present evidence suggesting a role for the host phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinases during T. cruzi invasion. The PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin marked...
