Abstract excerpt
In visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the development of protective immunity is associated with expansion of leishmania-specific T-cell responses. Because of the essential role of CD28 in the effectiveness of T-cell activation, this study was carried out to investigate the CD28 gene polymorphism and plasma levels of soluble (s) CD28 molecule in Iranian patients with VL. Plasma concentrations of CD28 in 88 patients with...
