<i>Leishmania infantum</i> LeIF protein is an ATP‐dependent RNA helicase and an eIF4A‐like factor that inhibits translation in yeast
16 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
LeIF, a Leishmania protein similar to the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4A, which is a prototype of the DEAD box protein family, was originally described as a Th1-type natural adjuvant and as an antigen that induces an IL12-mediated Th1 response in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of leishmaniasis patients. This study aims to characterize this protein by comparative biochemical and genetic analysis with...
