Abstract excerpt
The responses to antifolates of Toxoplasma gondii were investigated by measuring the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) activity, quantity of DHFR mRNA, and single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) pattern. Pyrimethamine (PYM) and methotrexate (MTX) were tested as antifolates. When T. gondii was treated with PYM, the viability was decreased by the increasing concentration of PYM, DHFR activity tended to...
