Identification and Characterization of T Cell-Stimulating Antigens from Leishmania by CD4 T Cell Expression Cloning
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Persistent immunity against Leishmania: infections in humans is mediated predominantly by CD4(+) T cells of the Th1 phenotype. Herein we report the expression cloning of eight Leishmania: Ags using parasite-specific T cell lines derived from an immune donor. The Ags identified by this technique include the flagellar proteins alpha- and beta-tubulin, histone H2b, ribosomal protein S4, malate dehydrogenase, and...
