Role of superoxide dismutase in survival of Leishmania within the macrophage.

The Biochemical journal - 1 Feb 2003

Ghosh Sanjay, Goswami Srikanta, Adhya Samit

Abstract excerpt

Intracellular parasitic protozoans of the genus Leishmania depend for their survival on the elaboration of enzymic and other mechanisms for evading toxic free-radical damage inflicted by their phagocytic macrophage host. One such mechanism may involve superoxide dismutase (SOD), which detoxifies reactive superoxide radicals produced by activated macrophages, but the role of this enzyme in parasite survival has...
