Abstract excerpt
Exposure of Leishmania promastigotes to the temperature of their mammalian hosts induces a typical heat-shock response. In Leishmania infantum, HSP70 is encoded by two types of genes that differ in their 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs). Previously, we have shown that specific transcripts for each gene are present in promastigotes growing at normal temperature (26 degrees C), but only transcripts with...
