Leishmania donovani-Induced Increase in Macrophage Bcl-2 Favors Parasite Survival
24 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Members of the Bcl-2 family are major regulators of apoptosis in mammalian cells and hence infection-induced perturbations in their expression could result into elimination of the parasites or creation of a niche favoring survival. In this investigation, we uncover a novel role of host Bcl-2 in sustaining Leishmania donovani infection. A rapid two-fold increase in Bcl-2 expression occurred in response to parasite...
