Abstract excerpt
The ability of Leishmania donovani promastigotes to proliferate in folate-deficient medium supplemented with pterins suggests that pterins can serve as a source of folate in these parasites [16]. Using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, the ability of intact L. donovani to tra...
