Resistance of<i>Leishmania donovani</i>to Sodium Stibogluconate Is Related to the Expression of Host and Parasite γ-Glutamylcysteine Synthetase
23 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Sequencing studies showed that the gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) heavy chain genes from sodium stibogluconate (SSG)-resistant (SSG-R) and SSG-susceptible (SSG-S) Leishmania donovani strains were identical, indicating that SSG resistance was related to quantitative differences in gamma-GCS expression rather than gene interstrain polymorphisms. In vitro infection of murine macrophages with the SSG-R...
