Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The immunization with genetically attenuated Leishmania cell lines has been associated to the induction of memory and effector T cell responses against Leishmania able to control subsequent challenges. A Leishmania infantum null mutant for the HSP70-II genes has been described, possessing a non-virulent phenotype. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The L. infantum attenuated parasites (LiΔHSP70-II) were...
