Abstract excerpt
Two cloned lines of Leishmania major promastigotes, one attenuated (CO1H) and one virulent (CO1R), differing in molecular karyotype and expression of the major surface glycoprotein (gp63), were mixed to produce two heterogeneous populations: MP-1 (100 CO1R promastigotes/CO1H promastigote); and MP...
